Global Treasury manages Lilly's worldwide liquidity, cash, and banking infrastructure. The function runs cash forecasting and working capital optimisation, manages global banking relationships, executes funding and capital markets strategies, and oversees foreign exchange and interest rate risk. In the Netherlands, a small international team looks after the accounting, statutory reporting, governance, and controls for Lilly's Dutch legal entities.

This is a newly created role in Lilly Netherlands Global Treasury. You will own the day-to-day finance and governance work for Lilly's Dutch legal entities: monthly close, statutory reporting, intercompany mechanics, banking governance, and internal controls. It is a broad, high-visibility position with direct exposure to regulators, auditors, and senior Treasury leadership. The Dutch footprint is growing, including new manufacturing scope, so there is real room to shape how the work is done. You will work closely with the Financial Controller on accounting and audit, support the Senior Tax Manager on Dutch tax, and report to the Executive Director, Global Treasury. A clear part of the mandate is to simplify, automate, and standardise, so the role scales without simply adding manual effort.

Statutory reporting. Own the recurring statutory and regulatory filings for the Dutch entities, and keep them accurate, timely, and audit-ready. Monthly close. Run the close in SAP: journal entries, reconciliations, approvals, and balance sheet substantiation, under the Financial Controller's governance. Entity governance and controls. Maintain the internal controls framework, including signature and banking authority registers, aligned with statutory director appointments and SOX. Notary and boards. Coordinate the external notary relationship for legal book updates, Commercial Register filings, and legalisation, and support the boards with meeting materials and records. Intercompany. Manage intercompany billing and the monthly loan interest rate checks, in line with the service agreements and transfer pricing framework. Banking and payments. Own day-to-day bank account and portal governance (eBAM): mandates, signatories, access, KYC recertification, manual payments, and SOX evidence. Shared services interface. Act as the escalation and process governance point for Global Business Services on accounts payable and procurement matters for administrative spend. Tax and improvement. Support the Senior Tax Manager on Dutch CIT, VAT, and WHT filings, and lead process improvement and automation across these workstreams. What you bring Bachelor's
