About the role

Lastminute.com, a European travel-tech leader in dynamic holiday packages, is looking for a Consolidation & Statutory Reporting Specialist to help produce the Group's consolidated financial statements under IFRS.

• Review reporting packages prepared by local finance managers in Tagetik, support the Impairment Test (IAS 36), and draft interim and annual disclosures
• Draft accounting memoranda on IFRS topics, prepare presentation slides for management, and support forecasts and financial modelling
• Develop, test and maintain consolidated reports in Tagetik, design internal controls over financial reporting, and maintain procedures, reporting guidelines and the Group Chart of Accounts
• Manage relationships with external auditors and consultants, act as a reference for local finance teams, and liaise with Tax and Corporate Planning & Reporting

Required profile

• Master's degree in accounting or finance
• At least three years in technical accounting and financial reporting with deep IFRS knowledge, gained in a large multinational group, audit or consultancy firm
• Deep knowledge of consolidation rules and techniques
• Professional-level English, written and spoken; practical fluency in AI tools such as Claude, with the judgment to verify outputs
• Desirable: audit experience in a Big 4 firm and working knowledge of Tagetik

Required skills

• Advanced Microsoft Excel (lookups, pivot tables) and solid working knowledge of Google Workspace, especially G-Sheets
• Working knowledge of Tagetik or a comparable consolidation and reporting system

What we offer

• Permanent 100% contract, hybrid from Chiasso or full-remote from Romania or Spain
• Shorter working week (36 hours as full time), flexible start and end times, and the possibility to work from anywhere for periods defined by local regulations
• Friday half-day for deep work, learning and training, plus professional and managerial development paths
• Two paid days off per year for volunteering, occasional social events, travel industry discounts and staff fares
