Job description

Who We Are Is What We Do. Deel is the all-in-one payroll and HR platform for global teams. Our vision is to unlock global opportunity for every person, team, and business. Built for the way the world works today, Deel combines HRIS, payroll, compliance, benefits, performance, and equipment management into one seamless platform. With AI-powered tools and a fully owned payroll infrastructure, Deel supports every worker type in 150+ countries—helping businesses scale smarter, faster, and more compliantly. Among the largest globally distributed companies in the world, our team of 7,000 spans more than 100 countries, speaks 74 languages, and brings a connected and dynamic culture that drives continuous learning and innovation for our customers.

Why should you be part of our success story?

As the fastest-growing Software as a Service (SaaS) company in history, Deel is transforming how global talent connects with world-class companies – breaking down borders that have traditionally limited both hiring and career opportunities. We're not just building software; we're creating the infrastructure for the future of work, enabling a more diverse and inclusive global economy. In 2024 alone, we paid $11.2 billion to workers in nearly 100 currencies and provided healthcare and benefits to workers in 109 countries—ensuring people get paid and protected, no matter where they are.

Our momentum is reflected in our achievements and customer satisfaction: CNBC Disruptor 50, Forbes Cloud 100, Deloitte Fast 500, and repeated recognition on Y Combinator's top companies list – all while maintaining a 4.83 average rating from 15,000 reviews across G2, Trustpilot, Captera, Apple and Google.

Your experience at Deel will be a career accelerator. At the forefront of the global work revolution, you'll tackle complex challenges that impact millions of people's working lives. With our momentum—backed by a $17.3 billion valuation and $1 B in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in just over five years—you'll drive meaningful impact while building expertise that makes you a sought-after leader in the transformation of global work.

We’re hiring a Staff Product Manager to own the systems that turn Deel’s money movement into a general ledger that auditors trust. That covers the accounting event model, the journal entry engine, the sync into our ERP, reconciliation, and the controls around all of it. This work is a big part of what gets Deel ready for an IPO. It isn’t glamorous, and almost nobody outside Finance will ever see it. If it breaks, though, everyone notices.

The problem, plainly

We process millions of transactions across 120+ countries and thousands of bank accounts. Most of them book correctly. The ones that don’t end up as manual work for Accounting at month end. Some events book in the wrong period. Some don’t get reversed when something upstream is cancelled. Bank data shows up late or incomplete. Clearing accounts pile up balances nobody can explain. Most fixes so far have been one-offs. We need someone who fixes the root cause so the whole category of problem stops coming back.

What You’ll Own

The accounting event model. For every product event: does it create a journal entry, when, for how much, and against which accounts? You’ll work this out with Finance for revenue, deferred revenue, FX, fees, and liabilities.
The close. Get it to 7 days. Find out where the days actually go, then take them out by automating reconciliations, fixing data at the source, and getting rid of manual adjustments.
Platform to ERP. Journal entries that leave our platform should arrive in the ERP complete, on time, and matching. Every period.
Reconciliation and subledger integrity. That means bank-to-book, clearing accounts, and intercompany. When something doesn’t match, you’re the one in the data working out why.
Controls. Build SOX controls into the product so audit evidence comes out of normal operations, with no scramble before every audit.
The roadmap and the tradeoffs. You’ll work across Accounting, Controllership, Revenue, Treasury, and Engineering, plus the product teams whose transactions you book (Payments, Invoicing, Pricing).

What a Good First Six Months Looks Like

You can take any product event and explain which journal entries it produces and why.
You’ve mapped the close day by day and know which five problems cost the most days.
You’ve shipped fixes for at least two of them, and the close is measurably shorter.
Accounting brings you problems early, because you fixed the last ones they brought you.
You understand the power of AI and can harness it to reduce all the traditionally done manual work in this role.

Who You Are

You have 7+ years in product, with a real share of it on ledger, accounting, billing, or ERP systems. That could be at a fintech, a payments company, a marketplace, or on the finance systems team of a fast-growing company.
You know debits and credits cold. You can read a trial balance, follow an entry from the event that created it into the ERP, and hold your own with a Controller on revenue recognition or whether something should be accrued or deferred. A CPA, ACCA, or Big 4 background helps, but it isn’t required.
A proven operator mindset - comfortable getting into the weeds of complex, fragile systems while driving execution at pace.
You write specs that engineers can build from and accountants can sign off on.
Ability to thrive in ambiguous, high-pressure environments - balancing urgent delivery with long-term system transformation.
You’ve been through at least one hard close, audit, or ERP migration from the inside.

Nice to have

Multi-entity, multi-currency, and intercompany accounting
SOX implementation or IPO readiness work
Experience with NetSuite or a dedicated subledger tool

Why this role

The ledger sits under everything else. Revenue, cash, and audit all depend on it, and you’ll own it.
Your success metric is concrete: days to close. You’ll see it move.
The scale is real: 120+ countries, many currencies, thousands of bank accounts, and a company preparing to go public.
You’ll work directly with Fintech product leadership and Deel’s finance leadership, and you’ll have room to decide how this gets built.
