    Develop and deliver control-related training sessions for various stakeholders.

    Required Skills

    Solid background in corporate financial control environment with expertise in accounting, reporting, financial control requirements, and audit requirements.


    Openness to learning GHG Accounting basics and gaining general knowledge of different climate reporting standards and Northern Trust's reporting requirements.


    Ability to grasp how detailed activities in focused areas contribute to the broader climate accounting and reporting landscape for individual legal entities and the Corporation as a whole.

    Demonstrates professional skepticism and comfort in questioning processes to drive improvements.


    Critical thinker who takes independent initiative to research inherent risks, emerging guidance, and issues relevant to processes and controls, proposing solutions or enhancements as needed.

    Utilizes understanding of various corporate units to ensure proper controls are in place for operations, services, and systems.

    Capable of meeting strict deadlines, managing multiple projects, and working under pressure during peak periods.

    Preferred knowledge of GHG accounting requirements.

    Experience with Northern Trust's BWise System is advantageous.

    Financial service industry experience is beneficial.

    Certified Public Accountant or Certified Internal Auditor certification is advantageous.

    Required Competencies

    Self-motivated individual capable of working independently.

    Strong planning and organizational skills.

    Detail-oriented with solid documentation capabilities.

    Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

    Ability to complete tasks and projects with minimal supervision.

    Adept at meeting deadlines through multitasking and prioritizing assigned deliverables.

    Flexible approach to changing work methods, deadlines, and varying workloads.
