About The Position
As Director of Digital Asset Accounting, you will provide strategic and operational leadership across the accounting function supporting Fidelity’s digital asset investment products. You will oversee all aspects of accounting operations, ensuring accurate, timely, and controlled delivery of core processes including digital asset pricing, books and records maintenance, NAV production, and financial reporting. You will lead teams responsible for supporting blockchain-enabled investment products, with oversight spanning both on-chain and off-chain accounting activities, including wallet and custodian reconciliations, digital asset valuation, and lifecycle event processing (e.g., forks, airdrops, staking rewards). The role requires strong ownership of daily deliverables in parallel with driving forward-looking initiatives that enhance scalability, automation, and control. Operating with a high degree of autonomy, you will partner closely with senior stakeholders across Accounting, Pricing, Technology, Product, Custody, and Risk to ensure operational readiness and alignment as new digital asset products and structures are introduced. You will play a key role in evolving the operating model to support a rapidly expanding and increasingly complex digital asset platform. In addition to leading day-to-day operations, you will drive strategic initiatives focused on modernizing infrastructure, integrating blockchain-derived data into accounting processes, and improving transparency and efficiency across workflows. The role requires the ability to define complex problems, synthesize insights, and deliver recommendations that align with broader business priorities.
