- Partner with Data Center Operations, Legal, and Finance during contract negotiation and execution to ensure accounting implications are understood before commitments are made
- Serve as trusted finance partner to non-finance stakeholders, explaining financial statement impact in clear terms
- Improve quality of upstream data pipelines from operational and contract systems, particularly around asset receipt, deployment, and in-service dates
- Design and scale systems, processes, and controls for a rapidly growing fixed asset portfolio
- Mentor junior accounting professionals across the Infrastructure Accounting team
- Serve as key point of contact with external auditors on fixed asset and capex accounting matters
- Drive process improvements and automation, including leveraging AI tooling, to enhance efficiency and accuracy of financial reporting

- Experience mentoring junior accounting professionals
- Strong candidates may have: experience at hyperscalers, large compute consumers, or data center operators; fixed asset subledger systems at scale; SQL proficiency; Big 4 background; complex data center buildouts or hybrid cloud/on-premise environments; AI/ML infrastructure knowledge; and experience applying AI tooling (including Claude) to accounting processes
