As Senior Accountant, you will be accountable for the ongoing delivery and execution of four core process areas, transitioned from Marqeta’s subsidiary, TransactPay. These areas comprise banking journal entries, account reconciliations, SOX control execution, and customer invoicing/billing. You’ll have a dual mandate

In Phase 1 you will provide maternity cover for a member of the TransactPay team where you will be trained to carry out some of the existing manual core processes, in parallel with the automation transition plan. During this phase, as well as executing the assigned processes, you will take your learnings and understanding of the manual processes to assist the Finance Manager as they deliver the transition stage through building scalable and structured automated solutions that allow the processes to be absorbed and stabilized.

In Phase 2 you’ll run the steady state for the newly automated processes. You will be accountable for the accurate, timely, and controlled execution of each newly automated process area within agreed service levels. You will operate a reliable, audit-ready control environment with a bias toward standardization and continuous improvement.

As an integral part of the TransactPay Finance team, you’ll work very closely with colleagues in Gibraltar and Malta to maintain accurate financial records in our regulated businesses, in accordance with IFRS and other local accounting standards, and also with the Marqeta US Controller to ensure alignment with the group consolidation and close cycle, and adherence to the ICFR/SOX framework.

This role can be performed in a hybrid work model (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday onsite) from our Warsaw office. We’d love for you to join us!
