Principal Product Manager - Accounting Platform (Product Minded Auditor)

As Principal Product Manager for BitGo's Accounting Platform, you own the product strategy for the financial and accounting systems that underpin every transaction, balance, fee, and regulatory filing across a publicly traded digital asset bank. You translate accounting requirements into scalable, auditable, self-service platform capabilities that product, engineering, finance, and compliance teams build on. Digital assets make this harder and more interesting than traditional banking: on-chain activity, custody structures, staking, tokenized assets, and settlement each move through the system differently, and each must land correctly on the books.

What you'll do

• Own the financial data and accounting platform roadmap, defining and delivering shared capabilities that ensure ledger and sub-ledger integrity, balance and activity reconciliation, fee and revenue calculation, client reporting, and feeds into the general ledger and financial close.
• Partner with finance, internal audit, and external auditors to turn SOX and internal control requirements into product capabilities instead of manual procedures, owning requirements, plans, and timelines aligned with the audit calendar.
• Set standards, interfaces, and data contracts that product teams build against, ensuring new products, asset types, legal entities, and acquisitions plug into the platform rather than create bespoke accounting workarounds.
• Work with compliance, legal, and risk to ensure the platform supports regulatory reporting, books-and-records requirements, and examiner and auditor requests, managing dated plans against external deadlines.
• Reduce manual effort, elapsed time, and risk in month-end and quarter-end close, establishing metrics for platform performance such as reconciliation breaks, close duration, audit adjustments, manual journal volume, and time to onboard a new product.

What you bring

• 9+ years of experience building or scaling systems, platforms, tooling, or control frameworks that multiple internal or external teams relied on, including 3+ years as the owner, from roles in product management, audit, controllership, or accounting systems. At Principal level, you have set strategy or standards that other teams adopted.
• An accounting or finance foundation: a CPA or equivalent, an accounting degree, or hands-on experience in financial reporting, audit, controllership, or accounting systems. You can read a trial balance, follow a journal entry through a ledger, and discuss revenue recognition or reconciliation with a controller.
• Experience building scalable platforms such as ledgers, billing, payments, reporting, data infrastructure, reconciliation tooling, or controls automation, thinking in data models, interfaces, and reuse.
• Experience in a regulated financial environment with auditors, examiners, SOX controls, or control programs, understanding how public company obligations change how products are built and shipped.
• Technical credibility with engineers: you can follow architecture discussions, pressure-test estimates, and write precise requirements for data-heavy systems.
• Professional crypto or digital-asset experience. If you lack professional experience, passion projects with breadth and depth across digital assets may qualify.
• A writing-first approach: your default artifacts are clear specs, data flow maps, and decision documents.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with SQL and financial data pipelines.
