Led by Rodolphe Saadé, the CMA CGM Group, a global leader in shipping and logistics, serves more than 420 ports around the world on five continents. With its subsidiary CEVA Logistics, a world leader in logistics, and its air freight division CMA CGM AIR CARGO, the CMA CGM Group is continually innovating to offer its customers a complete and increasingly efficient range of new shipping, land, air and logistics solutions.

Committed to the energy transition in shipping, and a pioneer in the use of alternative fuels, the CMA CGM Group has set a target to become Net Zero Carbon by 2050.

Through the CMA CGM Foundation, the Group acts in humanitarian crises that require an emergency response by mobilizing the Group's shipping and logistics expertise to bring humanitarian supplies around the world.

Present in 160 countries through its network of more than 400 offices and 750 warehouses, the Group employs more than 155,000 people worldwide, including 4,000 in Marseilles where its head office is located.

YOUR ROLE

Working for the Group's parent company and main shipowner, and reporting to the Accounting Director, you will be responsible for the department's cross-functional accounting projects and processes.

In a complex, multi-system international environment, with more than 500 subsidiaries of very different types, you will have to analyse and understand the flows with the Group's entities, based on a good knowledge of the information systems and your exchanges with the different accounting departments, other departments and subsidiaries.

You will be expected to make proposals for the implementation of tools and processes designed to improve the quality of accounting data and internal control.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

You will be responsible for ensuring that the various projects comply with the Group's accounting policies and standards. You will define processes and draw up procedures and diagrams. You will also be involved in drawing up technical notes (design, specifications, etc.).

Working with the other Business Units, you will represent the Accounting Department in project management and take part in the testing and training of new tools. You will support the teams through the change process. You will ensure that users fully understand the new system and help to resolve any anomalies that are detected.

You will propose and implement the optimisation of tools in order to make the closing process more reliable. You will draft accounting documentation with a view to strengthening internal control.

As a pivotal point within the department and in liaison with the various accounting players, you will identify the synergies and interdependencies of projects within the various departments of the organisation. You will also interact with the various subsidiaries worldwide (processes linked to intra-group transactions) and supervise the inter-company reconciliation process.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

With a Master degree in accounting, you have a minimum of 6 years' professional experience, ideally in an accounting or audit firm.

Your interest in organisation and processes helps you to design and implement procedures. Gifted with an analytical mind, you are able to adapt quickly and seek pragmatic and effective solutions. At ease in international contexts, you are familiar with teamwork and project management.

Your leadership qualities and pro-activity are major assets in successfully completing your assignments.

You are fluent in English. Knowledge of SAP would be a plus.

Come along on CMA CGM's adventure !
