You’ll collaborate with teammates to strengthen the accounting processes that support Notion’s growth into new countries, helping to build repeatable operating practices that let a growing global business scale with confidence.

• By your 90th day, contribute meaningfully to close activities and take ownership of clearly defined global reconciliation work
• By your 90th day, organize and track open items, requests, and timelines across international statutory audits, coordinating with Tax and cross-functional partners
• By your 90th day, use Claude thoughtfully to improve reconciliation analysis, audit support, documentation, or quality checks—while applying appropriate data safeguards
• By the end of your first year, become a trusted partner, strengthen controls and accounting processes across your areas, supporting accurate financial statements and statutory filings
