Senior Manager, Strategic Accounting Initiatives & Projects
Senior Manager, Accounting – Business Initiatives
This role serves as a strategic partner to RaceTrac’s accounting leadership team during a period of continued enterprise growth, operational complexity, and transformation. Rather than owning a single functional vertical, this position operates as an extension of senior leadership—helping prioritize work, drive execution across high‑impact initiatives, and bring structure and clarity to complex, cross‑functional efforts. The Senior Manager provides leverage to the VP of Accounting by coordinating projects that span accounting, finance, operations, systems, and compliance, ensuring alignment, accountability, and momentum across the organization.

Support internal and external audits, regulatory requirements, and enterprise compliance activities.
Identify risks, control gaps, and inefficiencies; recommend and drive practical solutions.
Lead process optimization efforts across accounting workflows and support system enhancements (Workday experience a plus).
Represent accounting leadership in meetings with senior leaders and cross‑functional partners.
Translate complex technical accounting topics into clear, actionable guidance for non‑accounting audiences.
Take a hands‑on approach to issue resolution and project execution when needed.
Success Measures (First 3–12 Months)
Establish trusted, high‑credibility relationships with accounting leadership and key cross‑functional partners.
Bring structure, clarity, and accountability to multiple ongoing initiatives and projects.
Successfully coordinate internal/external audit cycles with minimal disruption and timely deliverables.
Identify and implement process improvements that enhance efficiency, controls, or reporting quality.

Show the ability to “live in the gray” by making sound decisions with incomplete information.
Become a go‑to problem solver who can connect disparate parts of the organization and move work forward.
