About the Role

The Manager, Corporate Development Accounting will own the valuation workstream for the team, driving purchase price allocations, fair value measurements, intangible asset and goodwill impairment analyses, and the valuation of privately held strategic investments.

Accounting Operations & Reporting Support

• Reconcile goodwill, intangible asset, and investment balances to NetSuite on a quarterly basis, investigating and resolving variances between valuation deliverables, journal entries, and the general ledger
• Coordinate with the Financial Reporting team to prepare and review related disclosures for 10‑Q and 10‑K filings, including goodwill and intangible asset rollforwards, fair value measurement disclosures, and investment schedules
• Prepare monthly internal presentations with clear, concise materials and slide decks summarizing transaction activity, investment performance, and impairment monitoring results
• Execute and document review controls over valuation‑related balances, providing clear evidence of management's review and ensuring significant inputs agree to supporting documentation

AI Tools & Workflow Innovation

• Serve as the go‑to resource within the CAO organization for AI‑powered productivity tools, including Claude for Excel and other emerging applications, providing hands‑on support, troubleshooting, and training to team members
• Develop and share best practices, templates, and use cases for leveraging AI tools to improve efficiency in accounting and finance workflows (e.g., data extraction, memo drafting, reconciliation, model review)

• Collaborate with IT and other stakeholders to address technical issues, provide feedback to tool providers, and help shape the organization's AI adoption roadmap
