Role Overview
At Tractable, we build artificial intelligence that transforms how the world recovers from accidents. Our industry-leading computer vision software has helped millions of people globally by instantly assessing vehicle damage. Now, we are entering an exciting new chapter: we have recently launched our first proprietary hardware solution to complement our core AI platform.
As we expand our physical footprint and bundle hardware with our SaaS offerings, our US financial operations are growing in complexity. We are looking for a highly capable US Accounting Manager to take full ownership of our US entity's general ledger, compliance, and revenue operations. While your core focus is the US, you will also act as a key player in our global expansion, supporting cross-entity hardware operations, driving system implementations, and helping us define the metrics that track our success.
This role will initially be a 6 month fixed-term contract, with the possibility of extension or conversion to a permanent role.
