About Gigs

At Gigs, we're building the operating system for mobile services - a platform that enables tech companies to seamlessly embed connectivity into their products.

Just as Stripe enables businesses to embed a payment button into any product, Gigs enables businesses to add a connect button and issue SIMs with a single click or API call. From fintechs launching mobile services to HRIS platforms offering work phone plans, we automate phone plan provisioning.

We're solving complex technical, operational and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly effortless. We've grown to a team of around 90 people across the US and Europe, bringing together an experienced team of early-stage engineers, product builders and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb and Shopify. We know what it takes to solve hard problems.

With almost $100MM in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google and Y Combinator, Gigs is one of the fastest growing tech companies. Building on our strong foundation, we’re looking for exceptional candidates who want to do the best work of their lives in a high-paced environment, surrounded by a highly talented, ambitious team.

You’ll be joining at an exciting inflection point in our company’s history. At sub-100 people and with a year of hyper-growth ahead of us, opportunity is abundant.

The Role

As senior staff accountant you will play a pivotal role in ensuring that any decisions we make are backed by rock-solid financial data.

This role is pivotal in driving operational efficiency and accuracy across our financial operations. You will be responsible for owning and improving the month-end close process, managing end-to-end finance operations, and serving as the knowledge hub for key accounting topics. Additionally, you will oversee daily operational accounting activities across local offices and spearhead the implementation of innovative finance tools to help develop an industry leading finance team.

As senior staff accountant you’ll be part of a lean finance team consisting of the head of finance (who you’ll report into directly) and a strategic finance manager. This truly presents a unique opportunity to lead and scale our accounting and financial control activities as we build for scale. Due to the small nature of the team there will also be ample opportunity to develop yourself beyond what you would generally consider purely financial control and accounting topics.

What you’ll do

Month-End Close Process & Management Reporting

Own and continuously improve the month-end close process end-to-end.
Translate accounting results into clear, concise management reporting.
Ensure all financial activities comply with corporate and regulatory standards.

Finance Operations

Oversee end-to-end processes including purchase-to-pay, order-to-cash, and record-to-report.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to streamline operations and enhance process efficiency.

Operational Accounting Oversight

Manage day-to-day accounting activities with local bookkeeping teams.
Ensure timely and accurate posting of transactions across multiple jurisdictions.
Provide guidance and support to local accounting teams to resolve complex accounting issues.

Finance Tooling & Technology Implementation

Lead initiatives to implement and optimize finance tools including ERP systems, OCR software, and AI-driven finance solutions.
Identify opportunities to leverage technology to create a lean and efficient financial control and accounting environment.

Accounting Expertise & Knowledge Centre

Serve as the in-house expert on key accounting topics (e.g. accounting treatment of revenue recognition and share-based compensation)

What we are looking for

Minimum of 5-7 years of work experience in a financial accounting role, preferably in a high growth environment.
Proven track-record in reducing closing timelines to a 3-4 day time window.
Combination of strong operational accounting skill set with in-depth knowledge on technical accounting topics such as revenue recognition and share based compensation accounting (preferably under US GAAP)
A storyteller that can contextualise numbers to drive relevant follow up actions.
Experience leveraging AI and other technology tools to improve financial processes.

Remote Work at Gigs

At Gigs, we’re remote-friendly, with a strong emphasis on meaningful in-person collaboration. While most of our work is done remotely, we encourage our team to connect regularly in our hubs, whether for focused teamwork, customer meetings, or brainstorming sessions that drive creativity.

Gigs Pads: Our hubs in San Francisco, London, and Berlin are vibrant spaces where Gigsters come together to connect, collaborate, and create.
Gigs Republic: Twice a year, the entire company gathers for in-depth team bonding, strategic sessions, and shared experiences to reinforce our culture and drive growth.

This blend of remote work and in-person collaboration ensures we maintain a dynamic, connected, and innovative team environment.

What We Offer

At Gigs, we believe in rewarding excellence. You’ll receive competitive compensation and stock options to ensure you are truly part of our growth. Benefits/additional compensation for this role may include stipends for upgrading your home office or work setup, learning and development budgets to support your career growth and a free phone and international data plan (naturally).

If you’re excited about pushing boundaries and helping us shape the future of telecom, we’d love to hear from you.
