## **公司运营节奏**
在 Deepgram，我们期望具备 AI 优先的思维模式——AI 的使用和熟悉度不是可选项，而是我们运作、创新和衡量绩效的核心。
在 Deepgram 工作的每位成员都应积极使用和试验先进的 AI 工具，甚至将你自己的工具融入日常工作中。我们衡量 AI 应用的效果以实现成果，持续且富有创意地使用最新的 AI 能力是这里成功的关键。候选人应能够快速接受新模型和新模式，将 AI 整合到工作流程中，并不断推动这些技术的边界。

我们正在招聘高级会计总监，带领 Deepgram 在向 IPO 发展过程中运营会计职能。向首席会计官汇报并与其协作，你将领导负责月度结账、总账、每个子账（应付、应收、薪资）以及会计系统（包括从 Xero 迁移到我们为下一阶段选择的平台）的团队。
这是一个在实时构建中的职能的高级管理职位。我们从未被审计过。我们使用的是小型企业 ERP 系统。团队有意保持精简。未来 18 个月需要一位会计专业人士。

## **Company Operating Rhythm**
At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.
Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.
Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5.
**The Opportunity**
We're hiring our Senior Director of Accounting to lead the operational accounting function as Deepgram scales toward IPO. Reporting to — and working alongside — the Chief Accounting Officer, you'll lead the team that runs the monthly close, the general ledger, every sub-ledger (AP, AR, payroll), and the accounting systems — including the migration off Xero onto the platform we select for the next phase.
This is a senior leadership seat in a function being built in real time. We've never been audited. We're on a small-business ERP. The team is intentionally lean. The 18 months ahead require an accounting leader who has stood up the operational accounting function at first-audit, pre-IPO companies before — not someone who has only stewarded one.
You'll work in close partnership with an operationally engaged CAO. The CAO owns audit firm selection, the partner-level audit relationship, and treasury, and remains hands-on across close, ERP, and technical accounting partnership. You'll lead the team, lead the system, own delivery — and as the function matures, scale into broader scope.
**What you'll do**
- **Lead the operational accounting function.** Monthly and quarterly close, GL integrity, sub-ledger architecture, and the systems that run them. Design the function for first-audit and the year that follows.
- **Lead the ERP migration.** Partner with the CAO on platform selection (NetSuite, Rillet, Everest, and others under evaluation), then lead implementation end-to-end.
- **Lead the team.** Operational accounting — close/GL, AP, AR, payroll, accounting systems. Develop the managers under you. Hire the layer beneath them. Set the bar for the function.
- **Operationalize technical accounting in partnership with the Director, Technical Accounting.** Instrument the GL and sub-ledgers for ASC 718, 606, 842, 340, and 805. You don't write policy; you build the system that makes it executable.
- **Deliver Year-1 audit operationally.** Stand up PBC delivery. Codify accounting policies in the system. Defend the opening balance sheet. The CAO owns the partner relationship; you own the system that delivers fieldwork.
- **Build the SOX control environment.** Design the operational control perimeter from scratch, ahead of IPO. Effective, not heavy.
- **Lead the AI-native transformation of operational accounting.** The system should get easier as the company grows.
- **Scale with the function.** As scope expands, take on broader accounting leadership — succession planning, cross-functional finance partnership, board-level support to the CAO.
**It would be great if you had**
- 12+ years of accounting experience, with at least 6 in a senior operating role at a high-growth company. Pre-IPO or recently public is ideal.
- Experience taking a company through its first audit — not its first audit at a new firm, its first ever.
- Direct experience leading an ERP migration end-to-end at meaningful scale.
- Track record of designing an operational accounting function — not just running one. You've made the architecture choices that shape what the team becomes.
- Operational fluency in ASC 718, 606, and 842 — not policy authorship, but knowing what the GL and sub-ledgers need to deliver.
- Experience standing up SOX from scratch.
- Demonstrable AI-native practice you've built into a real accounting function — your team using AI daily, not just you.
- Experience managing managers and developing senior leaders underneath you. Multi-entity exposure relevant as our footprint grows.
- CPA preferred, not required.
**Why join**
This seat is one of the most leveraged operational accounting roles you will ever hold. You'll work alongside an engaged CAO to design a function that doesn't fully exist yet, lead the ERP migration that defines how it operates, take this company through its first audit, and stand up the controls that get us to IPO. The team is intentionally lean — the bar for hires is correspondingly high. The right candidate grows with the scope.
