Job Description for Manager, Accounting Services Operations at Buyers Edge Platform - Remotely based
The Manager, Accounting Services Operations is responsible for the overall performance, profitability, and scalability of Dine Technology's Back Office accounting services. This role provides operational leadership for the US and offshore accounting teams supporting Back Office accounting services, ensuring client deliverables are completed accurately, consistently, and on time while maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency.
The Manager is responsible for developing the operational framework that supports the service line, including creating and refining processes, standard operating procedures, workflows, and quality standards. As Dine Technology expands its service offerings, this role will design and implement the operational structure required to support new services and revenue streams.
Working closely with the U.S. team, the Manager monitors key performance indicators, capacity, and resource utilization to improve productivity, profitability, and team performance. While the U.S. team owns the client relationship and the offshore team executes the day-to-day accounting work, this role ensures the service delivery model is standardized, scalable, and positioned for continued growth.
This role is remote in the US. We are unable to offer work sponsorship for this role.
