Senior Manager, Accounting Operations

About the role

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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• 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.
