The Role We're looking for a Corporate Accounting Manager to support the general ledger, the close, and our accounting processes and controls as Baseten scales. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role for someone who wants full ownership of the core accounting function at a company where the entity structure, transaction volume, and reporting requirements are growing quickly. You’ll join the corporate accounting team and take on the general ledger, vendor contract review, the close calendar, and our internal control environment as the business grows. We're focused on tightening close procedures, strengthening controls, and building reporting rigor to support the scale ahead. You'll partner closely with FP&A, Data, and cross-functional partners to make sure the books close on time and accurately every cycle.
