Job title: Senior Accountant, General Ledger Accounting
Job location: Stockholm
Job listing URL: https://jobs.lever.co/spotify/3616d255-dd0f-4771-a0c8-92bdc2abdccd
Job description: We are looking for a Senior Accountant to join our Global Record to Report (RTR) team. Our close is evolving fast, and we’re looking for someone who combines strong accounting judgment with curiosity about how AI and automation can change how we work, and who wants to help build that future rather than wait for it.

As a Senior Accountant on the General Ledger team, you will own key close processes end to end, from preparation and analysis to explaining results to partners across Finance. You will use data and AI tools to remove manual work, spend more of your time on review and insight, and help shape how a lean, global team scales.

What You'll Do

Own the monthly and quarterly close for your areas, delivering accurate IFRS results and clear, insight-driven flux commentary

Use AI tools and data (BigQuery, SQL, LLM-based assistants) to automate preparation, speed up analysis, and redirect time toward review and judgment

Design, build, and maintain lightweight automations and AI-assisted workflows, and partner with Financial Engineering on larger system changes

Make sure automated and AI-assisted processes stay accurate, explainable, and well-controlled, including SOX controls and audit evidence

Act as a go-to partner for FP&A, Tax, Treasury, Procurement, AP, and business teams, turning ad hoc requests into scalable, self-serve solutions

Support external and internal audits for your areas and keep RTR processes and documentation current

Share knowledge and coach teammates on both accounting and new ways of working

Who You Are

You have 4+ years of month-end close or general ledger experience at a global, publicly traded company, with solid IFRS knowledge

You hold a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance; a CPA or equivalent is a plus

You bring strong accounting judgment and can research and resolve accounting questions independently

You’re comfortable working directly with data; experience with SQL and BigQuery is strongly preferred, or you have a clear willingness to learn quickly

You have hands-on experience using AI tools to improve your work, or strong curiosity to start, plus the judgment to know when not to trust the output

You have an automation mindset: you notice repetitive work and want to remove it

You understand upstream and downstream processes (AP, Procurement, Treasury) and how they affect the general ledger

You have experience with ERP systems (NetSuite preferred; Oracle or SAP also relevant)

You’re a clear communicator who can explain accounting and data topics to non-specialists and keep priorities on track during close

Where You'll Be
This role is based in Stockholm.

We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! There will be some in person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home. We ask that you come in 3 x per week.
