What this role is about A little over a year ago, Amrize became its own company, spun out after more than a century as part of something much bigger. It kept the depth of that history, but had to build its own structure. It's now listed on both the SIX Swiss Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. That's where you'd come in. As Head of Accounting, you'd own the accounting for the Corporate Holding structure under Swiss Code of Obligations and US GAAP, and you'd do it together with a small team. The work itself is broad: statutory accounting and group reporting, budget and Mid-Term Plan ownership, treasury and M&A-related accounting, and daily back-and-forth with Tax, Treasury, HR, and Corporate Finance. You'd report directly to the Chief Accounting Officer based in the US, and work alongside colleagues spanning the Shared Service Center and the US, so you're never solving problems alone. If you're technically strong across OR and US GAAP, and you still genuinely love the craft of accounting rather than just managing it from a distance, this is a role where that love actually gets used.
