Position overview

Core Weave is building out its next generation of data center infrastructure through a growing portfolio of joint ventures and variable interest entities. As we scale from a single JV to a multi-entity, multi-partner portfolio - including structures that require ongoing VIE analysis and potential consolidation - we are building the accounting function to match. The Senior Manager, Joint Venture and VIE Accounting will be the foundational hire for this function - owning end-to-end accounting and reporting for Core Weave's JV and VIE entities, leading technical conclusions on consolidation, standing up the processes and controls that will underpin the function at scale, and directly supervising a team of senior accountants.

This role reports to the Senior Director, Lease, JV, VIE and DC Construction Accounting and sits at the intersection of technical accounting, operational execution, and cross-functional partnership. It is an opportunity for a highly motivated accounting professional to build something meaningful at one of the most consequential infrastructure companies in the world.
