Director, Managed Services

• Set clear performance expectations for Managers and team members, and provide ongoing coaching and feedback that develops both technical depth and delivery discipline.
• Build a team culture grounded in accountability, technical rigor, and continuous improvement.
• Develop each Manager’s technical and people leadership capability, so routine delivery decisions get made confidently without you.

• Serve as a practice technical expert on hedge accounting under ASC 815 and IFRS 9, across FX risk management and Interest Rate risk management.
• Act as the escalation point when a Manager or team member surfaces a hedge accounting question that's genuinely novel, contested, or high-risk, de-designation disputes, structuring problems without precedent, or positions an auditor is challenging.
• Step into audit conversations personally when a position is contested or precedent-setting, standing behind the practice's most defensible technical calls.
• Stay current on FASB and IASB developments affecting FX and Interest Rate hedge accounting, and make sure the practice is ahead of upcoming changes rather than reacting to them.

• Serve as the senior escalation point for the most complex client inquiries, audit questions, and accounting positions across both FX and interest rate risk engagements.
• Build trusted, strategic relationships with client treasury, accounting, and finance leadership.
• Partner with Ripple Treasury's product, technology, and services teams to inform platform capabilities and service design based on what you're seeing across the practice.
• Represent Managed Services in internal planning and reporting on portfolio health, delivery performance, and growth.

• CPA required; advanced degree in Accounting or Finance a plus.
• 12+ years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 8-10 years focused on derivative instruments and hedge accounting under ASC 815 and IFRS 9, spanning both FX and Interest Rate risk management.
• 5+ years of experience managing and developing accounting or finance teams, including managing managers, not just individual contributors.
• Proven experience running the operational side of a service practice: staffing/capacity planning, KPI tracking, workflow design, and delivery quality management.
• Deep, current technical fluency in ASC 815 and IFRS 9, able to independently research, interpret, and defend the standards on the most complex and contested positions, whether the exposure is currency or interest rate driven.
• Strong understanding of FX derivative instruments (FX forwards, options, cross-currency swaps) and interest rate derivative instruments (interest rate swaps, caps, floors, collars), and the distinct hedge accounting considerations each presents.
• Demonstrated track record of designing and implementing process improvements — you leave workflows better than you found them.
• Experience with hedge accounting platforms (Ripple Treasury, Chatham Financial, Reval, FIS Quantum, or comparable TMS) strongly preferred.
• Strong communicator: you make complex accounting conclusions accessible to non-technical audiences, and you hold your ground on technical positions when it matters, including with auditors and skeptical clients.

• The opportunity to build in a fast-paced start-up environment with experienced industry leaders
• A learning environment where you can dive deep into the latest technologies and make an impact. A professional development budget to support other modes of learning.
• Thrive in an environment where no matter what race, ethnicity, gender, origin, or culture they identify with, every employee is a respected, valued, and empowered part of the team.
• In-office collaboration for moments that matter is important to our culture, and we give managers and teams the flexibility to decide which 10+ days a month they come in.
• Bi-weekly all-company meeting - business updates and ask me anything style discussion with our Leadership Team
• We come together for moments that matter which include team offsites, team bonding activities, happy hours and more!
