At Twitch, we're reimagining how Corporate Accounting operates in the digital age, leveraging new technology, automation, and AI to build scalable financial processes that support our business. We are seeking a Senior Accountant to join our Corporate Accounting team. In this role, you'll be at the intersection of accounting and technology, driving critical month-end processes, financial reporting, and system integrations across our complex ecosystem within Amazon.

You'll thrive in this role if you love working with data and systems, are always thinking outside the box for improvement opportunities, and can build strong partnerships across teams. You’re not afraid to enforce accountability to meet reporting deadlines and you’re excited to dig deep, identify root causes of issues, and resolve discrepancies. Most of all, you’re endlessly curious and eager to learn — ready to dive into new accounting areas, understand diverse business processes, and explore tools that can enhance our work.

This role reports to the Senior Manager of Corporate Accounting and offers unique exposure to both the dynamic world of digital entertainment and the sophisticated financial operations of a global tech company. If you're passionate about technical accounting, process optimization, and building scalable solutions that power our financial infrastructure, this role is for you.
