Job description

Rush Street Interactive (NYSE: RSI) is a market leader in online casino and sports betting, currently operating real-money gaming with our brands: BetRivers.com, PlaySugarHouse.com, and RushBet.co. We’re building bridges between online, social and land-based gaming businesses to create amazing, integrated experiences that keep players in the game.

We are seeking a Senior Manager, Corporate Accounting to lead the day-to-day operations of our corporate accounting function. Reporting to the Senior Director, Corporate Accounting & Reporting, this role owns the monthly close process across all corporate sub-teams (e.g., GL, Accounts Payable, Treasury), partners closely with other Finance and Accounting functions (e.g., SEC Reporting, FP&A, Accounting Operations, International Finance), and supports special projects as needed. As RSI scales, this role strengthens the accounting function and builds the operational rigor that the next stage of the company requires.

We're looking for a leader with presence and credibility, someone who can walk into any room, across any reporting line, and move people toward a common goal. The ideal candidate combines a strong command of US GAAP with a proven track record of leading teams, staying hands‑on, driving accountability, and building cross‑functional momentum in environments where influence matters as much as positional authority.

We are seeking candidates based in the Chicagoland area, as this role requires occasional in‑person collaboration at our Chicago office.

What You'll Do:

• Own the monthly close – drive timelines and deliver consolidated results across the Accounting and Finance function
• Coach and develop – lead through real‑time coaching, mentoring, and feedback, building leaders and driving accountability, not just completing tasks.
• Anchor technical accounting decisions – serve as the first line of authority on US GAAP questions across the corporate accounting function.
• Assess risk and strengthen controls – apply ongoing risk assessment to the Corporate Accounting function, strengthening the control environment as the business scales.
• Drive cross‑functional alignment – anticipate dependencies across teams and resolve issues before they become blockers, picking up special projects as needed.
• Team Leadership and Development – Manage other Corporate Accounting leaders, who oversee day to day General Ledger, Accounts Payable, and Treasury accounting. As a manager of managers, set clear expectations, build leadership capability within the team, and foster a culture of ownership, urgency, and accountability.
• General Ledger Ownership – Own GL accounting across cash, prepaid and other assets, long‑lived assets, investments, accounts payable, and accrued and long‑term liabilities, including review of journal entries and reconciliations.
• Accounts Payable Oversight – Oversee the end‑to‑end procure‑to‑pay process, ensuring strong controls and accountability across vendor master maintenance, invoice approvals, payment execution, and GL recognition; partner cross‑functionally on vendor sourcing, selection, and contracting.
• Treasury Support – Support cash management and oversight of manual cash payments, contribute to banking relationships, and lead short‑term liquidity forecasting and working capital planning.
• Global Consolidation and Reporting – Partner with SEC Reporting to ensure the global consolidation is accurate, complete, and delivered ahead of each reporting deadline – including coordinating intercompany and multi‑currency considerations and ensuring alignment between operating results and consolidated financial statements. (NetSuite familiarity a plus.)
• Process Improvement and Automation – Identify and lead opportunities to automate and improve processes across the Corporate Accounting function, including the use of AI tools.
• Cross‑Functional Partnership – Partner with Latin America Finance to ensure global alignment of accounting processes and policies, and collaborate with leaders across accounting, finance, and the broader organization.

What You'll Bring:

• BA/BS/MS degree in Accounting or CPA required.
• Demonstrated leadership ability, the kind that moves people and drives accountability. Experience leading in structured, high‑stakes environments is a meaningful differentiator.
• Proficiency in US GAAP with the ability to independently evaluate and guide accounting conclusions across a broad range of corporate accounting areas.
• Comfort leveraging AI and automation tools to improve close accuracy, reduce manual work, and scale team output.
• Familiarity with multi‑currency accounting and intercompany transactions across global entities.
• Proven track record of managing and developing a team in an accounting or finance function.
• Strong organizational and project management skills with the ability to track multiple moving parts across teams and keep close processes on schedule.
• Ability to exercise influence without direct authority – credible and effective across teams regardless of reporting lines.
• Clear, direct communicator with the ability to set expectations, deliver feedback, and elevate appropriately.
• Experience with ERP systems; NetSuite experience a plus.
• Public company experience preferred.
• Able to travel occasionally both domestically and internationally #LI-REMOTE

Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Rush Street Interactive’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

• A \"disabled veteran\" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service‑connected disability.
• A \"recently separated veteran\" means any veteran during the three‑year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.
• An \"active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran\" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.
• An \"Armed forces service medal veteran\" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self‑Identification of Disability

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
