The opportunity

We're currently looking for an Accountant, Financial Reporting, to join us and ensure accurate and timely financial reporting, compliance with IFRS, local GAAP and SOX requirements, and coordination of statutory audits across two legal entities—PSNY and PHAB.

You’ll be part of Group Accounting team within a global finance organization working closely with cross-functional teams like controlling, tax, treasury and legal. The team plays a key role in ensuring high-quality financial reporting and continuous improvement of accounting processes in a fast-paced, international environment.

The responsibilities

In this role, you'll be expected to oversee financial accounting and reporting for the assigned legal entities, ensuring compliance and accuracy across all reporting processes. You'll also be instrumental in driving financial close processes, reporting, and audit coordination.

Key responsibilities include:

• Oversee and take responsibility for preparation and coordination of monthly financial closings in Workday and reporting in the AARO consolidation system, including related SOX controls

• Review and analyze monthly financial reporting

• Contribute to the preparation of the Polestar Group Annual Report and Quarterly SEC filings

• Lead the preparation of the statutory accounts/annual report, including coordination with external auditors

• Drive implementation of process improvements to enhance efficiency and effectiveness

• Lead the coordination for the statutory audit process

In addition, you'll need the following qualifications:

• University degree in Finance

• 3–7 years of experience in accounting or financial reporting

• Accounting knowledge of IFRS and K3

• Advanced Excel skills and solid analytical ability

• Broad knowledge and experience of Accounting and Financial Control processes and systems in an international context with IFRS and SOX
