Manager, Accounting Ops

Activision Blizzard, Inc.•Los Angeles, CA

About The Position

We are headquartered in Santa Monica, California, with teams spanning Marketing, PR, Sales, Supply Chain, and Corporate Functions, including HR, IT, Legal, Facilities, and Finance. Our Accounting Operations team supports a complex, fast-moving business and partners closely with teams across the organization to ensure spend activity is supported, tracked, and accurately reflected in our financials. Your Mission As Manager, Accounting Operations, you will sit within the Accounting organization and primarily support business teams with spend-related administrative and coordination activities.

This is not a traditional accounting role, but accounting knowledge is essential to be successful. You will partner closely with Legal, Procurement, Accounts Payable, and business teams, serving as a bridge between business activity and accounting requirements.
