What You’ll Do: The Operations Accounting organization at CoreWeave is responsible for making our rapidly scaling, infrastructure-heavy business “legible” in the books—linking supply chain activity, inventory flows, and capital deployment to accurate, timely financial reporting. This team sits at the intersection of Finance, Supply Chain, and Data Center Operations, ensuring that the costs and assets behind our GPU cloud are properly captured, controlled, and optimized. The Director of Operations Accounting – Supply Chain will own and scale the supply chain and inventory accounting function that underpins CoreWeave’s global GPU and data center footprint. You will define and scale the operational accounting framework to support rapid infrastructure growth, while ensuring financial integrity, strong internal controls, and alignment with business objectives. This is not a steady-state role—you will be diagnosing gaps, building new frameworks, and leading transformation in a high-growth, high-change environment. 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. About the Role The Director will lead technical and core accounting operations across the supply chain, inventory, and asset lifecycles: This includes overseeing GRIR management, absorption costing, and inventory valuation for the global data center network, owning the integrity and internal control environment for P2P capital assets, and directing month-end close activities for logistics while effectively balancing hands-on transactional work with long-term process transformation. The Director will drive systems transformation, controls implementation, and audit readiness: This includes leading the accounting design for supply chain ERP modules and integrations to support the migration from NetSuite to a Tier-1 platform (SAP/Oracle), designing and documenting robust end-to-end SOX-compliant controls, and providing first-pass technical accounting assessments for supply chain topics as the primary liaison for internal and external auditors. The Director will provide strategic leadership, cross-functional alignment, and team scaling: This includes defining and executing a long-term operational accounting vision that ensures financial scalability in a hyper-growth environment, establishing key operational metrics to foster continuous improvement, partnering as a trusted advisor to Operations, Supply Chain, Procurement, FP&A, and IT, and building a high-performing global team from an initial lean, player-coach position. Who You Are: Accounting, Controls & Systems Leadership Progressive accounting experience including senior leadership roles overseeing supply chain, inventory, or manufacturing accounting in high-value, asset-heavy, or logistics-intensive environments. Deep ownership of inventory and cost accounting with strong knowledge of inventory management systems, GRIR, standard cost/absorption, and relevant US GAAP. Proven design and operation of SOX-compliant controls over supply chain processes and inventory valuation, with a track record of clean audits and year-over-year reduction in audit findings. Experience establishing inventory valuation, obsolescence, overhead allocation, and logistics/freight cost tracking and reconciliation frameworks. Hands-on leadership of ERP implementations or major upgrades (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle), impacting inventory, purchasing, and cost accounting functionality. Ownership of system integrations between accounting, operational, and supply chain/logistics platforms (e.g., WMS, TMS, procurement tools, and planning/MRP tools), including documentation of end-to-end workflows and policies. Direct accountability for leading the transformation of the supply chain close, GRIR aging, and asset lifecycle accounting processes (balancing a player-coach mindset with long-term team scaling). Strong cross-functional partnership with Operations, Supply Chain, Procurement, FP&A, and IT, driving measurable improvements such as faster close timelines and accurate reporting. Experience supporting large-scale infrastructure, data center, hardware-intensive, or capital-intensive global operations. Preferred: 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership roles with meaningful responsibility for supply chain/inventory/cost accounting. Strong knowledge of GAAP, SOX, internal controls, and external reporting requirements in fast-growth or transformation-heavy environments. Proven ability to partner cross-functionally and influence senior executives, delivering actionable financial insights and decision support. CPA and/or public accounting background is preferred but not required. Wondering if you’re a good fit?
