Senior Accounting Analyst

Noble Corporation is hiring for a Senior Accounting Analyst that will be working a hybrid work schedule out of our corporate office in Houston. This role is mostly financial and process analysis, risk mitigation and controls. It requires ability to analyze financial information and proactively problem-solve process issues while knowing when to seek approval and coordinate with the Corporate Reporting or Consolidations manager(s) and other colleagues. The role requires learning and adapting, often under tight deadlines. The role requires the ability to maintain business partnerships throughout the organization, specifically with accounting and reporting colleagues in our Gdansk, Poland, office, and likely within other functions (e.g., HR, Legal/Risk, Tax, etc.). On a limited basis, the role may be required to prepare the bookkeeping on certain corporate matters. While it is NOT an accounting (bookkeeping) role, to effectively analyze data, it requires the person to have a deep understanding of general ledger and consolidations systems and be detail orientated. All activities are performed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, Noble accounting policies and procedures and applicable specific guidelines and will be responsible for the documentation and signoff on certain key controls. The role participates in the month end close process and will interface with external auditors.
