Senior Accounting Manager

The San Francisco Compute Company•San Francisco, CA

2d•Onsite

About The Position

We are building our accounting function from scratch, and we are looking for a Senior Accounting Manager to help lead that effort. This is a 0→1 opportunity with broad ownership. You will report into and work side-by-side with the Head of Finance to establish foundational accounting systems, processes, and controls, while also running the day-to-day accounting operation. Your work will directly enable accurate, timely financial reporting during a period of rapid growth, evolving business models, and increasing scale. You will own the accounting truth. This is not your typical accounting role. If you are energized by building rather than maintaining, and want real influence over how things are designed and run, this role gives you the chance to shape the accounting function, and beyond. You will also partner with our Marketplace Engineering team to inform and influence product features that power the SF Compute platform.
