Corporate Accounting Manager

Notion•San Francisco, CA

10d•$157,000 - $180,000•Hybrid

About The Position

We're looking for a hands-on Accounting Manager to help us run a smooth, high-quality month-end close and strengthen our core GL processes as Notion grows globally. You'll take real ownership of close operations across multiple entities and currencies, while working closely with teammates across FP&A, Treasury, Payroll, AP, and Tax to keep things moving together - and leading cross-functional projects along the way, from kickoff to completion. We'd love someone who's detail-oriented, easy to collaborate with, and genuinely cares about building processes that hold up over time - not just getting through the close each month, but making the next one a little better. This role is based in San Francisco, CA USA. We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (our Anchor Days) because we do our best thinking and building together in person. We’re looking for someone who’s excited to work alongside the team during those days!

Mentor junior team members with clear goals, regular feedback, and real investment in their growth as the team scales
Partner closely with FP&A, Tax, Treasury, Payroll, AP, and other cross-functional teams to keep accounting projects moving and on track

Bring operational rigor that makes our close and reporting more scalable, audit-ready, and built for the company's next stage of growth
