You will also play a crucial role in helping us process supplier invoices and manage payments.

• Fluency in French is a key requirement.
• A degree (2:1 or higher) or an accounting qualification such as AAT is preferred.
• A desire to complete an accounting qualification (we can help facilitate your learning).
• Proficient in Excel; exposure to Xero is a plus, though we can teach you this.
• A hands-on, can-do attitude and willingness to support the business across multiple areas.

Personal Characteristics:

• Organised, with strong attention to detail.
• Self-motivated and able to take initiative without being prompted.
• Thrives under pressure and is determined.
• Strong communication skills, both internally and externally.
• A passion for learning and growing.
• Hands-on approach with a willingness to roll up sleeves and support the business wherever needed.

• Hybrid working environment with flexible work-from-home options.
• Diversity & Inclusion initiatives with a commitment to creating an inclusive workplace.
• Learning and development opportunities through training programs, individual development plans, and coaching from supportive peers and managers.
• A fun company culture with social events, global team gatherings, and a focus on inclusivity.

Not ticking every box? That’s totally okay! Studies show that women and people of colour might hesitate to apply unless they meet every single requirement.
