Senior Manager, Accounting

Virta Health is on a mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people. Current treatment approaches aren’t working—over half of US adults have either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and obesity rates are at an all-time high. Virta is changing this by helping people reverse their metabolic condition through innovations in technology, personalized nutrition, and virtual care delivery reinvented from the ground up. We have raised over $350 million from top-tier investors, and partner with the largest health plans, employers, and government organizations to help their employees and members restore their health and take back their lives. Join us on our mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people.

This is an opportunity to help shape the future of Accounting at one of healthcare’s fastest-growing technology companies. You’ll have the autonomy to modernize processes, leverage AI and automation, develop a high-performing team, and build scalable operations that support Virta’s next stage of growth. Accounting is evolving rapidly, and we believe technology should amplify—not replace—great accountants. If you’re excited by solving complex problems, challenging the status quo, and building the accounting organization of the future, we’d love to meet you.

The ideal candidate is passionate about process improvement and excited to leverage emerging technologies, including AI-enabled tools, to help build a more efficient and scalable accounting function.
