In this role, you will support Merisant, a global food company dedicated to promoting healthier lifestyles and offering high‑quality both plant‑based & artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, and other food products across a broad portfolio of trusted brands. We are part of Whole Earth Brands group.

• Fluent English, as we operate in a global, international environment.
• Good Excel skills (VLOOKUP, PivotTables).

• A true team player who is responsible, reliable, and enjoys working in a collaborative environment.

What We Offer

We support each other, work as one team, and make sure no one ever has to face challenges alone.

Teamwork and openness are at the heart of how we operate. And because great collaboration doesn’t stop at the office door, we enjoy spending time together outside of work as well — whether it’s an after‑work drink, a team lunch, or one of our well‑planned teambuilding events.

We offer:

• A modern office in Karlín
• Five weeks of vacation
• Competitive salary based on your seniority level
• Annual bonus based on objective goal achievements
• E-stravenka lunch contribution 100 CZK per day

• Up to 3 days of home office per week
• Annual financial contribution toward children‘s activities up to 2,000 CZK
• We are an ACCA‑certified employer and provide contributions toward obtaining the ACCA qualification
• And a friendly environment where people genuinely enjoy working together
• For junior applicants, we offer opportunity to grow into more senior responsibilities, supportive team environment with senior colleagues available for mentoring, and gaining experience with international accounting
• For senior applicants, we offer authority and ownership, reviewing work of junior colleagues and providing guidance, and participation on process improvements
