Our Accounting team is seeking a Director, Equity Accounting to serve as the definitive leader for the end-to-end accounting, valuation, and forecasting of our global equity incentive plans. This is a high-impact, Dallas-based role where you will act as a strategic advisor to senior leadership, ensuring our complex equity structures are technically sound and compliant.
At Match Group, we help millions of singles find meaningful relationships through our diverse portfolio of brands, including Match, Hinge, OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, and more.

From behavioral science to machine learning, we apply deep thinking and innovative approaches to the complex dynamics of human connection.
When it comes to dating, the connection starts online, but the real magic happens once you meet in real life. We think the same is true for creating the best platforms, so we work together IRL in our Dallas office three days a week.
How you’ll make an impact:
Strategic Financial Ownership: Lead the end-to-end accounting, valuation, and forecasting for all global equity incentive plans. You are the definitive subject matter expert for ASC 718 and ASC 260 and the primary architect of the equity-related financial statement disclosures.

Advanced Forecasting & Modeling: Own the "Equity Crystal Ball." You will develop sophisticated models to forecast SBC expense, diluted shares impact, and cash flow requirements under multiple "what-if" scenarios.
Audit & Control Leadership: Set the standard for SOX compliance within the equity function. You will lead the relationship with external auditors, defending technical positions on valuations, and award modifications.
Cross-Functional Partnership: Act as the bridge between Finance, People/HR, and Legal. You will be the Accounting voice at the table providing insights into the accounting impact of daily decisions.
