The posting

The opportunity

Polestar is accelerating the transition to sustainable mobility through electric performance. As we continue to grow as a U.S.-listed, global organization, we are strengthening our Group Finance function and are now looking for a Group Accountant to join our Group Accounting team at our headquarters in Gothenburg.

Let us describe the challenge we offer

In this role, you will be part of the Group Accounting team, playing a key role in ensuring high-quality, timely, and accurate consolidated financial reporting for the Polestar Group. The position has a strong focus on group closings, consolidation, and external financial reporting, including IFRS reporting and SEC filings with Nasdaq in New York.

You will work closely with subsidiaries, internal stakeholders, and external auditors, contributing to a consistent and compliant financial reporting framework across the Group. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a global, scale-up environment where processes continue to evolve and improve.

This position is located at our HQ, in Gothenburg. We understand that work-life balance isn’t easy, and of course, welcome our employees to work flexible hours and from home a couple of days per week if needed. We believe in empowerment.

What you'll do

As a Group Accountant at Polestar, you will support the full cycle of group financial reporting and play an important role in delivering reliable financial information to both internal and external stakeholders. You will work hands-on with consolidation, analysis, and reporting and contribute to continuously improving our group accounting processes.

You will also collaborate closely with subsidiaries and finance teams across the organization to ensure accuracy, compliance, and consistency in financial reporting.

You will:

  • Support monthly, quarterly, and annual group closing processes, including preparation and validation of consolidation and adjustment entries
  • Collaborate with subsidiaries and internal stakeholders to ensure timely and accurate financial submissions
  • Perform financial analysis and prepare supporting documentation for internal and external reporting
  • Assist in the preparation of external IFRS financial reports, including notes and disclosures for quarterly and annual filings
  • Maintain and monitor consolidation system data to ensure consistency and data quality across group entities
  • Contribute to the development, maintenance, and documentation of group accounting policies and processes
  • Participate in group accounting projects, reporting improvements, and system enhancements
  • Coordinate with external auditors and support the audit process by providing documentation and explanations
  • Proactively identify opportunities to improve group accounting procedures, controls, and reporting efficiency

Who you are

You are a structured and analytical finance professional with a solid understanding of group accounting and financial reporting. You enjoy working in a dynamic, international environment and thrive when collaborating with different stakeholders. You combine attention to detail with a pragmatic mindset and are comfortable handling deadlines in a listed-company context.

You are proactive, communicative, and continuously look for ways to improve processes and ways of working.

To be a great fit for this position we believe you have:

  • A university degree in Business Administration, Finance, Accounting, or equivalent
  • 5–7 years of relevant experience within group accounting, a global corporate finance function, or an audit firm
  • Solid knowledge of IFRS accounting standards and group consolidation principles
  • Experience working with monthly, quarterly, and annual closing processes
  • Strong Excel skills and confidence working with financial analysis and reporting
  • Experience with consolidation systems; AARO experience is a strong advantage
  • Exposure to SOX compliance and reporting for U.S.-listed companies is considered a plus
  • Fluency in English, both written and spoken

At Polestar, you will be part of a cross-functional and international team, with English as a natural language for written and spoken communication. Since Polestar moves fast you thrive by working in a fast-paced environment.
