The Director, Technical Accounting leads Shield’s technical accounting function and owns U.S. GAAP positions and policy across the company. This is a hands-on role as a Shield finance leader in an acquisition-driven environment: you will lead acquisition accounting from diligence through the opening balance sheet, serve as the technical resource and educator for our controllers, portfolio accounting teams, and business partners, and build the policies, playbooks, and team that let Shield’s accounting scale with the deal pipeline. This role is hybrid, with a minimum of 3 days per week in our NYC office, plus quarterly travel for all-hands and other meetings (not expected to exceed 10%).
