Senior Manager - Financial Reporting and Technical Accounting

Location Details: Santa Clara, CA

At GoDaddy the future of work looks different for each team. Some teams work in the office full-time, others have a hybrid arrangement (they work remotely some days and in the office some days) and some work entirely remotely.

This is a hybrid position. You’ll divide your time between working remotely from your home and an office, so you should live within commuting distance. Hybrid teams may work in-office as much as a few times a week or as little as once a month or quarter, as decided by leadership. The hiring manager can share more about what hybrid work might look like for this team.

This position is not eligible to be performed in Alaska, Mississippi, North Dakota, or the Virgin Islands.

GoDaddy is not currently considering candidates for this role in Seattle or NYC.

• Sound judgment, attention to detail, and a collaborative communication style, with the ability to build trusted relationships across partners while successfully balancing recurring reporting cycles, ad hoc technical research, and strategic project work.

You might also have...

• Hands-on technical accounting experience with complex transactions, new accounting standards, disclosure requirements, or strategic business initiatives.
