Own the close for a global travel business, and build the team and the systems that make it run better every quarter.

At arrivia, we're passionate about making travel experiences unforgettable. As a global leader in the travel industry, we're looking to hire a talented Accounting Manager to join our accounting team in Scottsdale. This is a hybrid position, onsite in our office four days per week.

This role sits at the center of a genuinely complex environment. Multi-entity structures, intercompany activity, revenue share, capex, and ASC 842 lease accounting are the everyday work, not the exception.

• System Implementations: Participate in system implementations and upgrades that strengthen financial reporting and internal controls.
• Automation and Scalability: Lead special projects and automation initiatives that improve the efficiency and scalability of the accounting function.
• Audit Support: Support financial statement preparation and the annual audit.
