ABOUT THIS ROLE Our Technical Accounting and SEC Reporting team owns how Strava applies accounting standards and reports to the market.

You will work closely with the Accounting Director, lead an existing team member, and partner with Legal, FP&A, Revenue Accounting, external auditors, and outside counsel to resolve complex accounting questions and deliver SEC filings.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE TEAM - Hands-on experience preparing 10-K and 10-Q filings. - A CPA license and Big 4 public accounting experience. - A track record of sound technical accounting judgment, shown through memos you have authored and issues you have resolved. - The ability to work through issues with a range of cross-functional stakeholders, with a low-ego, solution-oriented approach. - Experience managing and developing people. - Experience supporting an IPO, an S-1, or a company's first years of public reporting is a plus. - Experience designing technical accounting policies and processes at a high-growth company is a plus.
