• Update key accounting metrics and support KPI tracking during month‑end close
• Collaborate with Facilities and Global Network Infrastructure teams to resolve issues and ensure accuracy
• Proactively communicate task status, escalate issues as needed, and follow through on deliverables
• Support additional accounting tasks and evolving team needs as assigned — this role will grow over time, and flexibility to take on new responsibilities is key

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field
• 3–5+ years of experience in corporate or public accounting
• Familiarity with global accounting operations and U.S. GAAP (ASC 842)
• Detail‑oriented, well‑organized, and dependable
• Strong Excel skills (XLOOKUP, pivot tables)
• Able to work independently with general direction and communicate effectively across teams
• Comfortable taking ownership of tasks, asking thoughtful questions, and seeing work through to completion

We’ll be super impressed if you have experience in any of these:
