Protecting what matters most 🛡️👶
At Britax Römer, we've been protecting children on the road since 1966. Our mission is to provide safe, comfortable, sustainable, and easy-to-use child mobility solutions. From our very first child car seat to today's innovative range, we've helped protect millions of children around the world on their journeys.
With over 50 years of industry leadership, we're proud to empower parents through our expertise – giving them the confidence and peace of mind to enjoy smooth, safe family travel every day. Our products deliver premium safety, comfort, and quality at every stage of childhood, from newborn to 12 years.
Across our European headquarters, our teams work together to drive innovation and uphold the highest standards of safety and quality.
Driven by our values – Care, Trust, and Curious – we continuously strive to improve and make a positive impact, not only by protecting children but also the world they grow up in.
Now, we're looking for a Financial Accountant EMEA (m/f/d) to join our Finance team. 🚀
In this role, you'll support accurate and timely financial reporting across seven EMEA entities while playing a key role in statutory reporting and German HGB accounting for our German entity.

If you're looking to further develop your accounting career in an international environment, we'd love to hear from you.
What you'll do 💼
As part of our EMEA Finance team, you'll contribute to accurate financial reporting while supporting compliance across multiple European entities.
