The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Grant Thornton is hiring a Surgeon in Akron, OH.

• Role description

  On any given day, the Surgeon at Grant Thornton juggles Stakeholder Management and Analytical Thinking, and somehow makes both look deliberate. Bring Creativity and Analytical Thinking; we'll bring $76,000 - $101,000, a strong team, and the ownership that turns experience into impact.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Represent Grant Thornton professionally with vendors, partners, and customers
  • Read Grant Thornton's general signals and reprioritize without being asked
  • Build and sustain strong working relationships across departments
  • Sense when an Akron relationship needs a call, not an email
  • Document the why, not just the what, behind every Written Communication decision

  What You'll Bring

  • Customer-focused outlook with strong interpersonal skills
  • 5 years that taught you which corners can be cut
  • Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a freelance project
  • Roughly 7+ years operating in a similar Surgeon position

  Trusted by businesses nationwide, Grant Thornton operates a fiercely-supportive general platform from its Akron base. We keep ego out of code review and let the Analytical Thinking argument win on its merits.

  Expect $76,000 - $101,000, yes, but also expect the kind of benefits and remote flexibility that make Mondays in Akron feel lighter.

  Actively staffed and live, this Akron, OH opening is no relic.

  We're hiring, and your application could be the one we've been waiting for.
