About the role

At RWE Supply & Trading, we’re helping to shape a climate‑neutral future by bringing trust, pace and precision to every decision. Our Financial Statements team plays a key role in that mission. A core element of our work is ensuring that the balances and P&L impacts resulting from Share service center managed processes are accurate, complete, and fully reliable.

You’ll join an international environment where close collaboration with our Shared Service Centre and multiple RWEST entities is essential to safeguarding the integrity of our numbers. This role provides an excellent foundation for those looking to progress into financial reporting or controlling. It offers strong visibility, cross‑functional interaction and hands‑on involvement in process improvement — with real scope to help standardise, automate and reduce manual effort as we continue to optimise how we work.

• Coordinate and follow up with the Shared Service Centre on Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable invoice posting to ensure timely, accurate processing
• Monitor and reconcile Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable, supporting month-end closing activities
• Support accruals, journal entries, and other general ledger activities as required
• Collaborate with group entities to resolve discrepancies, outstanding items, and disputed transactions. Prepare, review and maintain balance sheet reconciliations for assigned General Ledger accounts, including accruals and journal entries
• Perform variance analysis to identify unusual trends, errors or risks and share actionable insights
• Support internal and external audits with schedules, explanations and documentation
• Contribute to cross-functional projects that improve overhead postings and streamline workflows through standardisation and automation

Job requirements and experience

Advantageous, but not essential
