Full Job Description

About the Opportunity

At Skyven Technologies, we have developed a revolutionary heat pump technology to decarbonize industrial heat. We implement this technology through an innovative Energy-as-a-Service model that saves our customers money with no capital outlay. We are hiring ​an Accounting Manager as a key role to join our dynamic Finance team. This is an opportunity to make a real impact at an innovative and growing climate tech company.

Industrial heat is responsible for a large share of global CO2 emissions, roughly equivalent to emissions generated by all transportation (including land, sea, and air). And it is a compelling business opportunity – it will take an estimated $3.7 trillion in capital investment to decarbonize the sector by 2050. Skyven is at the forefront of this transformation and has recently achieved a significant milestone by being selected for a $145M investment from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to accelerate the deployment of our state-of-the-art Skyven Arcturus steam-generating heat pumps (SGHPs) at manufacturing facilities nationwide, revolutionizing how we address energy needs while combating climate change.

We are seeking an experienced Accounting Manager who will manage Skyven's accounting function, reporting directly to the Director of Finance and working with stakeholders across the company. The ideal candidate has a strong work ethic, is a talented problem-solver with sound judgment, and has a passionate interest in climate change. To support the growth of our climate tech company, someone with a proven track record of efficiently managing and improving financial operations will be well positioned to succeed in this role.

  • Technical Accounting: Solve complex accounting issues related to Skyven’s Energy-as-a-Service model, project finance agreements, special purpose entities, and related topics. 
  • Reporting: Provide timely and accurate financial statements and other standard reports for internal and external purposes.
