About the Role
Tenstorrent is seeking a Director of Accounting Operations to lead and scale the company’s core accounting operations function.

The role is hybrid, based out of Santa Clara, CA; Austin, TX; Boston, MA; or Toronto, ON. We welcome candidates at various experience levels.
Who You Are
An experienced accounting operations leader who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments and brings strong technical accounting judgment, operational discipline, and a builder’s mindset. You are equally comfortable solving detailed accounting issues and designing scalable processes, systems, and controls. You have a strong foundation in US GAAP, close, reconciliations, accruals, AP, AR, payroll accounting, fixed assets, internal controls, and audit support.
- Able to define what good looks like in an accounting function, with experience improving close timelines and control discipline.
- A strong people leader who communicates clearly and partners effectively across Finance and business operations.
- 10+ years of progressive experience in accounting operations, controllership, or corporate accounting, including leadership in high-growth or multinational environments.
- ERP transformation experience and strong knowledge of operational accounting processes; CPA and experience in complex product-based industries are strongly preferred.
Responsibilities
- Lead and scale accounting operations across AP, AR, payroll accounting, fixed assets, accruals, reconciliations, and close operations to support accuracy, discipline, and growth.
- Own and improve the monthly and quarterly close process, driving stronger accountability, documentation, and cycle-time improvements.
- Strengthen internal controls, documentation, segregation of duties, and system-based controls while partnering with Finance Systems and IT to improve ERP processes, automation, integrations, and reporting.
- Build and develop a high-performing accounting operations organization, support global accounting complexity across entities and jurisdictions, and manage key relationships with auditors, consultants, and outsourced partners.
What You Will Learn
- How to build accounting processes that scale from startup-stage operations to enterprise-grade infrastructure.
- How global entity operations, inter-company processes, foreign currency activity, statutory reporting support, and international accounting complexity come together in practice.
- How accounting operations connect directly to broader business execution in a product-based technology company, including procurement, supply chain, leases, capital equipment, payroll, equity, R&D, and commercial operations.
- How to lead finance transformation, develop a high-performing team and operating model, and help shape the systems, controls, and processes needed for the company’s next stage of growth.
