Senior Manager, Accounting Operations

In this role, you will:

Lead and develop the Accounting Operations team — directly manage a Senior Accountant and a Staff Accountant; provide coaching, prioritize work, drive accountability, and create growth opportunities.

Own the monthly close end-to-end — own the close calendar in Numeric, manage close dependencies across the team and cross-functional partners, coordinate stakeholders across Finance and Accounting, and escalate timeline risks and blockers that could impact close quality or timing.

Serve as the primary operational reviewer across recurring close reconciliations, journal entries, allocations, intercompany work, and other deliverables prepared by the Accounting Operations team — setting clear standards for accuracy, completeness, and timeliness.

Drive automation and process improvement — lead and prioritize automation initiatives across cash matching, reconciliation efficiencies, journal entry automation, and process simplification. Leverage the full tooling stack — NetSuite, Numeric, Superhuman-built internal tools, and other AI tools — to reduce manual effort and improve scalability.

Support audit efforts — contribute to audit planning and readiness, coordinate auditor requests, gather and review supporting documentation, resolve open items, and serve as one of the key auditor-facing partners for the external audit.

Mature and scale the close process — enhance existing process documentation, strengthen operational resiliency, and further reduce key-person dependencies across the team.

Build cross-functional partnerships across Finance and Accounting — partner with Technical Accounting, Financial Reporting, FP&A, Tax, AP, Payroll, and Revenue & AR to keep close, audit, and improvement workstreams aligned.
