Key Responsibilities

• Catch the misclassified entry three months before the auditor would
• Build budget-vs-actual reviews managers across Murrieta look forward to
• Keep the remote commission calc transparent enough to survive a dispute
• Trace a single transaction end to end when the numbers stop tying
• Own the accounts-payable cycle from invoice intake through final disbursement
• Lean on Active Listening and Financial Reporting to automate what used to be manual
• Own grant compliance so DE Shaw never returns a restricted dollar

What You'll Bring

• Clear thinking under the kind of pressure Murrieta, CA deadlines bring
• A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback
• A collaborator's reflex to share credit and absorb blame
• A CA work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway
• A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
• Willingness to commute to Murrieta, CA or work flexibly as needed
• Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a remote project

Our team at DE Shaw is hardworking, collaborative, and proud to call Murrieta, CA home. We build an environment where ambitious ideas get tested quickly and credit is shared fairly.

Beyond $138,000 - $204,000, DE Shaw offers a generous benefits package and the chance to lead projects that build your skills.
