Job Overview:
Arm is looking for a bold, forward‑thinking Senior Manager to lead some of the most influential strategic programs across the company.

  • Provide strategic insight and financial guidance to ensure that bold ideas translate into aligned, executable outcomes.
  • Identify, assess, and lead financial and operational risks tied to large‑scale or innovative agreements.
  • Build and maintain governance frameworks that bring clarity to sophisticated transactions.
  • Foster continuous improvement across Arm's strategic program management and financial processes, helping the organization operate with greater speed and precision.

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required; CPA strongly preferred.
  • 5-15 years of experience in strategic finance, technical accounting, or related fields within complex, global organizations.
  • Deep technical accounting expertise under US GAAP, especially with complex arrangements involving ASC 606, ASC 850, ASC 810, and ASC 805; IFRS knowledge is a strong plus.
  • Experience interpreting, structuring, and summarizing complex legal agreements.
  • Background in the semiconductor or broader technology sector is a significant advantage.
  • Ability to navigate ambiguity, drive alignment across diverse teams, and deliver results in fast‑moving environments.
  • Exceptional communication, collaboration, and executive‑level presentation skills.
  • Experience in the banking or consulting industry is a plus.

Skills and Attributes:
  • Strong command of accounting and financial principles, with the ability to apply them to innovative commercial and IP structures.
  • Strategic problem solver with strong attention to business details and a passion for operational excellence.
  • Collaborative leader who builds trust and influence across finance, legal, and business functions.
  • Highly organized, proactive, and capable of leading multiple high‑priority initiatives simultaneously.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
