Senior Manager, Strategic Accounting Initiatives & Projects

This role serves as a strategic partner to the accounting leadership team, driving operational excellence and enabling successful execution of high-impact initiatives. This role is ideal for a process-minded, results-driven professional who thrives in dynamic environments, can navigate ambiguity, and has the ability to influence across functions. Acting as a liaison between accounting leadership and internal stakeholders, you will prioritize initiatives, lead cross-functional projects, and ensure accountability for deliverables—all while identifying efficiencies and fostering continuous improvement.

What You'll Do:

• Partner with accounting leadership to plan, execute, and monitor strategic initiatives that enhance operational efficiency and compliance.

• Lead and manage multiple audits and regulatory requirements, ensuring timely and accurate deliverables.

• Serve as a bridge between technical accounting and business operations, translating complex concepts for non-accounting audiences.

• Oversee project management activities for cross-functional initiatives, including scoping, timelines, and stakeholder communication.

• Drive process optimization and implement best practices to improve workflows and internal controls.

• Maintain accountability for reporting and communication processes across the accounting organization.

• Identify and mitigate risks while ensuring adherence to GAAP and internal control standards.

What We're Looking For:

• 7–10 years of progressive accounting experience, including hands-on issue resolution and project execution.

• Strong knowledge of GAAP, technical accounting, and internal controls.

• Proven ability to manage competing priorities and projects in a fast-paced environment and deliver results under tight deadlines.

• Exceptional problem-solving, critical thinking, and analytical skills; comfortable “living in the gray” and making sound decisions with incomplete information.

• Effective verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to influence and explain technical topics to non-financial stakeholders.

• Process-oriented mindset with a passion for efficiency and continuous improvement.

• Familiarity with Workday and exposure to cross-functional projects is a plus.
