    The Senior Retail Finance Operations Analyst is a member of the EU Sales audit team looking after all Ralph Lauren stores and Ecommerce activities in Europe and responsible for ensuring that Sales, Cash/Credit card settlements and Accounts receivable are completely and accurately accounted for and reported in the financial reporting.

    In this context the Senior Analyst partners with other team members to ensure that Sales and Cash/Credit card settlements are reconciled and differences are investigated and resolved in a timely manner.

    The Senior Analyst oversees the accounting of Retail accounts receivables and is thus in charge of the completeness and accuracy of the financial reporting for that area, under both US GAAP and local EU statutory requirements.

    She/He is the subject matter expert for all accounting-related matters in the team and designs or validates the accounting scheme of every new process / interface / project.

    The Senior Analyst takes part into multiple projects as the Retail environment evolves constantly and as new stores open-up, new payment methods are developed, new partnerships with payment providers are signed, etc.

    Given the nature of his/her role he/she partners with numerous and diverse partners both internally (store managers, retail operations, IT, accounting, FP&A, P&D, etc.) and externally (banks, payment providers, cash handling companies, etc.) and is thus a key actor of the Retail / Ecommerce activities in Europe.

    Partner with other Sales audit team member(s) in the investigation and escalation of issues and/or differences flagged as part of the reconciliation process between Sales data and Cash & Credit card settlements.


    • Escalate and coordinate investigations with internal and external partners (store managers, store operations, IT, banks, payment providers, etc.)
    • Perform reviews and regular checks around completeness of data loaded in the reconciliation system (ReconNet) and drive resolution.
    • Track, monitor and report on the Key performance indicators for the areas of responsibilities (ageing, auto-match rate, variances created). Provide support on month-end close activities for the areas of responsibilities: journal entries, balance sheet accounts reconciliations, analytical, Rec Sheet reviews, etc.
    • Prepare the accrual for Credit card fees for all EU stores and partner with FP&A to investigate unexpected movements and/or variances to forecast.
    • Act as subject matter expert for all accounting-related matters and be the first point of contact for internal partners on these topics: FP&A, Accounting teams, P&D, etc.
    • Assess the accounting implications of each new project, enhancement or redesign of processes and validate accounting set-up before implementation.
    • Coordinate the collection of documents and responses for both external and internal auditors.
    • Identify best practices for store operations and partner with store managers to drive changes and implementation across EU.
    • Take part into Retail projects and drive all aspects related to areas of responsibilities: store openings, new payment provider set-up, new payment methods, etc.
    • Review, analyze and process the Sales data into the retail system (Island Pacific) on a daily basis.
    • Partner with FP&A, Accounting, P&D and IT teams to identify differences between the retail system (Island Pacific) and the Till system (XStore) and drive investigations of these differences until resolution.
    Either an academic degree in Finance/Accounting/Business or relevant industry experience.

    • ACCA qualified or part-qualified desirable.
    • Minimum 3 full strategic cycles related experience in Finance and/or External audit
    • Advanced proficiency level in Microsoft excel.
    • Experience with Trintech ReconNet (desirable), SAP and Island Pacific a strong plus
