Director of Technical Accounting

Within a large, global organization, you'll partner directly with senior leaders to guide high-impact accounting decisions, including significant exposure to M&A transactions, technical research, implementation of new standards, and strategic reporting matters, while leading and developing three managers.

Reporting to a highly respected, long-tenured VP known for strong mentorship, this is a visible, project-driven leadership opportunity for a seasoned public accounting professional who wants broader business exposure, meaningful influence, and a clear path to continued growth beyond the traditional Big 4 track.
