Lead by example as you enhance your career.

Listed on both the New York Stock Exchange and the Oslo Stock Exchange, Seadrill is proud to be the world’s leading offshore drilling contractor. Staffed by 5,000 skilled employees from 75 nationalities, based in 15 countries around the world, our teams share our commitment to safely extracting gas and oil, providing cost-effective supplies for our customers. Working across a modern and versatile fleet that includes tender rigs, jackups, drillships and semi-submersible rigs, our people are the best in their field – and now you can join their impressive ranks.

We are looking for an inspirational Legal Entity Accountant Lead to join our LE (Legal Entity) team based in our Liverpool Shared Services Centre. Reporting to the Head of Global LE Accounting, you will be one of four Leads and will manage a team of qualified and part-qualified accountants. You will oversee internal and external reporting requirements for entities within your regions.

With fantastic written and verbal skills and a customer-focused approach, you will be proactive with a “right first time” mind set. You will be comfortable working in a fast paced and changing environment, building relationships with global business partners and managing multiple tasks at any point in time.

You will have solid leadership skills and the confidence to resolve accounting discrepancies where necessary. As a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent), with proven experience you will constantly look for ways to improve the delivery of your team’s work. You will have a good working knowledge of US GAAP and IFRS. Experience of working within an international business would be an advantage, as would experience of SOX reporting.

This is a fantastic role with the scope to mentor team members and make your mark on an international organisation, so if you think you have what it takes to bring about continual improvement and maintain consistently high standards, then we’ve got a role for you.
