The Opportunity The Superhuman Finance team is hiring a Senior Manager, Accounting Operations to own the monthly close, lead a small high-performing team, and modernize how we run core accounting. This role is about driving measurable improvement in close timeliness, reporting quality, and operating efficiency across a fast-growing, multi-entity environment — combining strong technical execution with a hands-on, tooling-forward mindset. The ideal candidate is operationally hands-on, technically deep in US GAAP, and genuinely energized by automation. You’ll build practical AI-enabled workflows on top of NetSuite, Numeric, Superhuman-built internal tools, and the broader stack — eliminating manual work and freeing the team for higher-value analysis. You bring deep close ownership experience, the people-leadership instincts to develop a team, and the resilience and judgment to thrive in a fast-paced tech environment. You’ll report to the Head of Technical Accounting and directly manage a Senior Accountant and a Staff Accountant. This role can be remote or hybrid from our SF or Seattle hubs. In this role, you will: - Lead and develop the Accounting Operations team — directly manage a Senior Accountant and a Staff Accountant; provide coaching, prioritize work, drive accountability, and create growth opportunities. - Own the monthly close end-to-end — own the close calendar in Numeric, manage close dependencies across the team and cross-functional partners, coordinate stakeholders across Finance and Accounting, and escalate timeline risks and blockers that could impact close quality or timing. - Serve as the primary operational reviewer across recurring close reconciliations, journal entries, allocations, intercompany work, and other deliverables prepared by the Accounting Operations team — setting clear standards for accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. - Drive automation and process improvement — lead and prioritize automation initiatives across cash matching, reconciliation efficiencies, journal entry automation, and process simplification. Leverage the full tooling stack — NetSuite, Numeric, Superhuman-built internal tools, and other AI tools — to reduce manual effort and improve scalability. - Support audit efforts — contribute to audit planning and readiness, coordinate auditor requests, gather and review supporting documentation, resolve open items, and serve as one of the key auditor-facing partners for the external audit. - Mature and scale the close process — enhance existing process documentation, strengthen operational resiliency, and further reduce key-person dependencies across the team. - Build cross-functional partnerships across Finance and Accounting — partner with Technical Accounting, Financial Reporting, FP&A, Tax, AP, Payroll, and Revenue & AR to keep close, audit, and improvement workstreams aligned. Qualifications - 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including time at the Senior Manager level, with direct ownership of monthly close in an international operating environment - Experience in a high-growth, multi-entity company at $200M+ revenue scale required; technology company experience preferred - Direct people-management experience — coaching, prioritization, accountability, and development of Senior- and Staff-level accountants - Deep, practical US GAAP foundation, including working knowledge of ASC 842 lease accounting and standard cost-allocation methodologies - Hands-on NetSuite experience and proficiency with a modern close management platform (Numeric, FloQast, BlackLine, or similar); familiarity with Coupa or a comparable procure-to-pay system - Track record of leading automation and process-improvement initiatives across an accounting function — practical use of AI tools focused on operational scalability rather than experimentation - Strong audit support experience — comfortable serving as one of the key auditor-facing partners for an external audit - Demonstrated ability to meet deadlines, manage competing priorities, and deliver high-quality work under time constraints in fast-moving environments - Big 4 or national public accounting experience preferred; active or inactive CPA preferred - Strong written and verbal communication — capable of producing close summaries, audit responses, and process documentation that an executive audience can act on with minimal editing - Has a demonstrated ability to work independently with minimal guidance, proactively manages tasks and priorities across multiple projects, analyzes and executes work efficiently, collaborates effectively with cross-functional teams, and thrives in fast-paced, results-driven environments Compensation and Benefits Superhuman offers all team members competitive pay along with a benefits package encompassing the following and more: - Excellent health care (including a wide range of medical, dental, vision, mental health, and fertility benefits) - Disability and life insurance options - 401(k) and RRSP matching - Paid parental leave - 20 days of paid time off per year, 12 days of paid holidays per year, two floating holidays per year, and flexible sick time - Generous stipends (including those for caregiving, pet care, wellness, your home office, and more) - Annual professional development budget and opportunities Superhuman takes a market-based approach to compensation, so base pay may vary by location.
