Department: Finance
Requisition: 13003
Are you ready to make a real impact on the world of robotics? At Teradyne Robotics, a division of Teradyne, we are revolutionizing industries through cutting-edge collaborative and autonomous mobile robotic technologies. As part of our team, you’ll work with global leaders Universal Robots (UR) and Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR), driving innovation that enhances manufacturing, logistics and workplaces across the world.
Own the Financial Backbone of a Global Robotics Leader
At Teradyne Robotics, we are enabling the factories of the future through advanced automation and robotics solutions used by customers around the world. As part of Teradyne, a global technology leader, we combine innovation, operational excellence, and a strong commitment to creating an inclusive workplace where diverse perspectives drive better decisions and stronger outcomes.
We are looking for an experienced and hands-on finance leader to head our Accounting, Financial Controlling, Compliance & Treasury department. Reporting directly to the CFO of Teradyne Robotics and as one of three leaders in the CFO's leadership team, you will own the integrity of our numbers across 11 legal entities and lead a team of 18 finance professionals in Denmark, the Philippines, China and Costa Rica.
The Opportunity
You will be accountable for U.S. GAAP and statutory reporting, consolidation, internal controls, tax and transfer pricing, payroll and treasury for Teradyne Robotics' legal entities – from transaction to consolidated reporting.
In our finance model, Financial Controlling means corporate and statutory controlling: balance sheet integrity, consolidation, compliance and audit. Forecasting, performance analysis and business partnering sit with our FP&A team, and ERP, BI and master data governance sit with our Finance Systems & Data team. You will work closely with both.
Your department consists of four teams, each with a local lead:
- Financial Controlling & Compliance (Odense and Costa Rica)
- Payroll, Accounting & Treasury (Odense)
- Finance Shared Service Center – AP, AR and bookkeeping (Cebu, Philippines)
- Finance China.
Key Responsibilities
Close, Reporting & Consolidation
- Own the monthly, quarterly and annual close for 11 legal entities, including delivery of locked actuals to FP&A according to the agreed close calendar
- Deliver U.S. GAAP reporting to Teradyne Corporate, including the local GAAP to U.S. GAAP bridge, intercompany reconciliation and consolidation
- Own statutory annual reports under the Danish Financial Statements Act and local GAAPs, and lead statutory and tax audits
- Own the general ledger, balance sheet reconciliations, fixed asset register (incl. existence testing) and accounting policies.
Internal Controls & Compliance
- Act as single owner of SOX execution for Teradyne Robotics – control design, documentation, testing coordination and remediation; in partnership with Teradyne Internal Audit
- Perform independent review of key accounting estimates prepared by FP&A (revenue recognition under ASC 606, warranty, inventory/E&O and compensation accruals) as part of the SOX control framework
- Own and monitor the Delegated Authority policy for Teradyne Robotics
- Own the finance data and controls underlying sustainability (ESG) reporting.
Tax, Transfer Pricing & Treasury
- Own corporate income tax and VAT compliance, tax provisions and roll-forwards across entities
- Own transfer pricing, intercompany pricing and annual transfer pricing documentation, in partnership with Teradyne Tax and external advisors
- Own cash management, banking relationships and the weekly cash forecast reported to Teradyne Treasury
- Own the balance sheet and cash flow forecast, integrated with FP&A's P&L forecast
- Ensure accurate, timely and compliant Danish payroll.
Leadership & Organization Development
- Lead 18 finance professionals across four locations and time zones through team leads, including an offshore shared service center
- Build a stable, high-performing team with clear roles, documented processes and cross-training that reduces key-person dependency
- Coach and develop team leads and support talent development and succession planning within Finance.
Stakeholders & Interfaces
- Partner with the Head of FP&A: you own actuals, controls, balance sheet and cash; FP&A owns forecasting, variance analysis, management reporting, business partnering and the preparation of key accounting estimates
- Act as data owner for chart of accounts and legal entity master data, working with Finance Systems & Data
- Collaborate closely with Teradyne Corporate Accounting, Tax, Treasury and Internal Audit
- Manage relationships with external auditors, tax and transfer pricing advisors, and authorities.
Process Excellence & Transformation
- Standardize and automate close, reconciliation and reporting processes together with Finance Systems & Data
- Represent Accounting in the ERP program and other cross-functional transformation efforts
- Contribute to global Teradyne finance programs.
