As the Director, Operations Accounting, you will serve as a strategic leader within CoreWeave’s Accounting Operations organization, with end-to-end ownership of the technical, operational, and reporting activities supporting our global data center operations. You will define and scale the accounting framework that supports rapid infrastructure growth, while ensuring financial integrity, strong internal controls, and alignment with business objectives. You will lead and develop a high-performing global team, partner closely with senior leadership across Operations, FP&A, and Technical Accounting, and play a key role in shaping the financial infrastructure that underpins CoreWeave’s expansion. This role reports to the Head of Operations Accounting and requires a balance of strategic vision, technical expertise, and operational execution — starting hands-on as a player-coach and scaling the team from there. What You'll Do • Own the function end to end: Provide strategic leadership over the technical, operational, and reporting activities supporting CoreWeave’s global data center operations — owning the accounting and month-end close for supply chain and inventory valuation, standard cost and absorption, fixed assets and capital project accounting (CIP), GRIR management, freight and logistics, and procure-to-pay (P2P). • Establish the long-term vision: Define and drive a scalable operational accounting framework, including systems, workflows, and organizational design capable of sustaining hyper-growth. • Build and operate the control environment: Design and execute a robust, SOX-compliant (or equivalent) control environment across operational and technical accounting processes, driving clean audits and year-over-year reductions in findings. • Lead technical & judgment-heavy accounting: Evaluate, document, and implement accounting treatment for complex transactions in partnership with Technical Accounting and Controllership. Support the accounting review and ongoing management of long-term supplier and commercial agreements to ensure appropriate treatment and contractual alignment. • Drive systems transformation & integrations: Own the accounting design for supply chain and fixed asset systems and integrations, including ERP implementations, migrations, or upgrades (e.g., NetSuite to Tier-1 platforms like SAP or Oracle), as well as sub-ledger and procurement/WMS integrations. • Partner across the business: Act as a trusted advisor to Operations, Supply Chain, Procurement, FP&A, IT, Tax, Treasury, and Senior Leadership. Partner closely with FP&A on annual budgets, forecasts, and capital planning strategies to fix data at the source and ensure accurate, timely information flow. • Lead audit readiness & operational excellence: Serve as the primary liaison with external auditors and Internal Audit to ensure timely, accurate deliverables. Continuously review existing processes to simplify, automate, shorten close timelines, and reduce operational risk. • Build and scale a global team: Start as a hands-on player-coach, then hire, mentor, and grow a high-performing global team from a lean starting point. Who You Are (Required) • 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including senior leadership roles, with broad ownership of technical, operational, cost, or reporting accounting in a high-value, asset-heavy, capital-intensive, or logistics-intensive environment. • Strong command of U.S. GAAP and internal controls: Deep technical background in U.S. GAAP as applied to inventory valuation, cost accounting, fixed assets/PP&E, CIP, and procure-to-pay, with proven experience designing and operating SOX-compliant (or equivalent) internal control frameworks. • Systems & ERP transformation leadership: Hands-on experience leading or owning the accounting design for an ERP implementation, migration, or major upgrade (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, or comparable). • Proven team builder & player-coach: Demonstrated ability to lead, coach, and scale accounting teams in high-growth, fast-paced environments — equally comfortable setting long-term strategy and diving into technical execution. • Exceptional leadership & stakeholder management: Strong executive presence and communication skills, with a track record of partnering cross-functionally with Operations, Supply Chain, Procurement, FP&A, and IT to achieve measurable outcomes. Preferred • Capital-intensive industry experience: Experience in data centers, cloud infrastructure, telecom, semiconductors, hardware, manufacturing, industrials, CPG, 3PL, or multi-site retail. • Broad operational domain exposure: Multi-domain mastery across supply chain & inventory, fixed assets & capital projects, standard cost/absorption, GRIR management, freight/logistics, and procure-to-pay. • Public company or IPO readiness: Experience in public-company financial reporting or preparing a fast-growing company for its first audit or IPO. • Professional credentials: CPA and/or Big 4 public accounting background (preferred, not required); equivalent credentials welcome (CA, ACCA, CMA).
