About this role

Rakuten General Insurance is hiring an Accounting Manager (department head) for its accounting department, which tracks the company's financial position and results and supports its growth. The department is responsible for budget-versus-actual management under IFRS 17, which the company uses as a management indicator, and also handles fund management and sourcing, acting as owner of the company's finance.

The manager runs and oversees accounting work: budget management with weekly, monthly and quarterly IFRS reporting, especially expense tracking; fund operations including cash management; sourcing; automating and streamlining accounting processes and systems, including an S/4HANA introduction and AI; financial analysis and reporting to executives; and general accounting.

Applicants need ten or more years of accounting in any industry, experience with budget management, payments and IFRS closing, persistence to finish what they start, logical problem solving from several viewpoints, and the awareness to anticipate risk in a changing environment. Insurance experience, sourcing, actuarial knowledge, disclosure documents, CPA or US CPA, tax accountant subjects and three or more years of management are preferred.
