The Accounting Systems Associate supports day-to-day execution of accounting system tasks within Circle K's General Ledger Accounting Systems function, including journal entry posting, Unclaimed check processing, and basic BlackLine support activities. This is an entry-to-mid-level operational role focused on reliable, accurate execution of defined tasks rather than system design or strategic process ownership.
Important note on role evolution: This role is expected to evolve over the next 12 months as the department continues to automate manual processes. Responsibilities, system access, and reporting structure may change as a result. The ideal candidate is comfortable with ambiguity and views this as an opportunity to grow into a more technical systems role, potentially including a future Accounting Systems Analyst position, depending on performance, departmental needs, and budget.
