About The Position

Meta is seeking a Corporate Accounting Manager to join our Finance team. This is a full-time position on our Compensation & Benefits Accounting pillar, within our Corporate and Infrastructure Accounting team. This role is based in Menlo Park, CA. This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports. You will own a defined set of compensation and benefits reporting areas end to end, working with limited direction. You will set the direction for how those areas are accounted for, reported, and controlled — designing and scaling the processes and technology behind them, not just operating them. The role combines hands-on close execution with project leadership, and success depends on building effective partnerships across Finance, Payroll, Equity team, and our external service providers.
