The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Pinterest is hiring a Senior Accountant in Jersey City, NJ.

• Role description

  This sharp-but-gentle Senior Accountant role in Jersey City, NJ blends the rigor of Resilience with the storytelling of business partnering. A Senior Accountant seat that takes 5 years of Financial Reporting seriously, pays $123,000 - $178,000, and hands over the finance reins.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Turn a sprawling spreadsheet into a controlled, auditable workbook
  • Keep deferred revenue schedules airtight as contracts renew
  • Lean on Cost Accounting and Resilience to automate what used to be manual
  • Track grant funding, restricted accounts, and compliance reporting
  • Build the SQL model that finally retires the manual workbook
  • Stand in for the Jersey City controller when close cannot wait
  • Translate GAAP nuance into guidance the Jersey City team can apply

  What You'll Bring

  • Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level
  • Sharp organizational skills and an ability to juggle multiple workstreams
  • The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
  • 6+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
  • Cross-functional ease, from Resilience engineers to Cost Accounting marketers

  Pinterest grew out of a Jersey City, NJ research lab and never lost its refreshingly-candid, question-everything approach to Resilience. We look out for one another, and burnout is treated as a problem to solve, not a badge to wear.

  Come for $123,000 - $178,000, stay for the mentorship, the benefits, and the rare flexibility that makes Pinterest a goal-oriented place to grow.

  This one is current, freshly dated, and very much hiring.
