Finance jobs for New International Finance Hub

For our new International Finance Hub, located from Tiel, we have the following job openings available:

1. Technical Accountant

2. Accounts Receivable Specialist

3. Accounts Payable Specialist

4. Financial / Business Controller

The Finance Hub supports our European businesses where extra experience, capacity or specific financial expertise is needed. That can mean helping a local team improve its processes, solving long-standing financial challenges, getting more grip on working capital or strengthening financial control.

This is not a typical office-based role in the Netherlands. A large part of the work will take place at our businesses elsewhere in Europe. Depending on the assignment, you may spend several weeks or months abroad and, from time to time, stay in another country for a longer period.

We are looking for people who enjoy that way of working: finance professionals who can quickly understand a new environment, work well with local teams and are comfortable getting involved themselves.

English is required for all four positions. Speaking German and/or French would be a definite advantage.

As the positions are based in the Netherlands, you must already have the legal right to work in the Netherlands.

These assignments are for a period of approximately 12 to 18 months. You will be employed by Polygon and will report to a manager based in Sweden. The assignments cannot be carried out on a freelance or self-employed basis.

We offer a salary that matches your experience and background. Although this is a temporary assignment, we are always interested in keeping good people within Polygon. If the assignment goes well and suitable vacancies are available, you are of course welcome to apply for other opportunities within our organisation.
