Requirements
10+ years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 7 years focused on derivative instruments and hedge accounting under ASC 815 and IFRS 9.
Proven experience managing and developing accounting teams — in public accounting, managed services, or corporate finance.
Deep technical fluency in ASC 815 and IFRS 9, including practical hedge accounting elections, effectiveness testing methodologies, and disclosure requirements — you can research, interpret, and apply the standards independently.
Strong understanding of derivative instruments across asset classes: interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, FX forwards, options, and commodity derivatives.
Experience with hedge accounting platforms (Ripple Treasury, Chatham Financial, Reval, FIS Quantum, or comparable TMS) strongly preferred.
Strong communicator: you make complex accounting conclusions accessible to non-technical audiences, and you hold your ground on technical positions when it matters.

Responsibilities
Technical Leadership
Serve as the company’s primary SME for hedge accounting under ASC 815 and IFRS 9 — providing authoritative technical guidance on fair value hedges, cash flow hedges, net investment hedges, de-designation scenarios, and disclosure requirements.
Review and approve hedge documentation, designation memos, risk management objectives, and effectiveness testing methodologies across the client portfolio.
Oversee quantitative and qualitative effectiveness assessments (regression analysis, dollar-offset, hypothetical derivative method) on a prospective and retrospective basis.
Guide clients through structuring new hedging relationships to achieve qualification and optimize accounting outcomes.
Translate FASB and IASB standard updates into clear, actionable impact summaries for clients and internal teams — before the deadline, not at it.
