ABOUT THE NEST

The nest is a place where every role has meaning, every team member is respected, and every day is a chance to fly higher. When you join bluebird bio, you're not just landing a new gig, you become part of a flock that's pursuing curative gene therapies to give patients and their families more bluebird days. We are doers, thinkers and collaborators who embrace and live by our values:

  • Persist for Purpose
  • Be Compassionate
  • Stay humble and curious
  • Keep it real
  • Celebrate (sm)all wins

Our innovation is rooted in the diversity of our teams and results are achieved through cooperation and the integration of multiple viewpoints. This is personal and we approach every challenge with radical care.


ABOUT THE FLOCK

The accounting flock is all about paving the way for the Company to tackle never-before-seen industry and business challenges. Whether it’s making sure we have accurate books and records or providing support to our incredible science colleagues, we are driven by teamwork and collaboration. Come work with a motivated group of birds that loves rising to the challenge much as we do making punny accounting jokes!
 

HOW YOU’LL FLY

You'll help to bring more patients their bluebird days by: 

  • Researching, understanding and preparing accounting treatment for revenue recognition, A/R factoring, operating, finance, embedded and real estate lease accounting under ASC 842,including documentation of memos, schedules and related reconciliations. 
  • Working cross-functionally with other teams within the business to ensure proper accounting treatment and assessment and documentation of complex accounting transactions.
  • Assisting with preparation of SEC reporting documents (proxy filings, 10-Q, 10-K,) for relevant areas (i.e., leases, revenue, complex transactions).
  • Successfully ensuring compliance with global regulatory and Sarbanes-Oxley requirements.
  • Serving as key contact for external audits by working with external auditors proactively on technical matters.
  • Other accounting areas or projects as needed.

 

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

You’re the bird we’re looking for if you have: 

  • Have a minimum of 6+ years of experience in technical accounting (Big 4 public accounting and/or biotech industry experience strongly preferred).
  • Knowledge of relevant GAAP accounting standards.
  • Demonstrated ability to partner effectively with internal and external parties of the Company.
  • Are experienced in using Microsoft Office applications.
  • Strong attention to detail, quality, accuracy and comfort with large amounts of data.
  • Ability to work in a dynamic, fast-paced, deadline driven business.


Compensation & Benefits 

We offer a total compensation and rewards package that ranks among the best in our industry. Base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. This provides the opportunity to progress as you grow and develop within a role. The anticipated annualized salary range for this role is $128,500 - $144,000. Your base pay will be determined based on several factors including market data, demonstrated skills, relevant education or training, experience, qualifications, internal equity, and travel requirements. Our overall package also includes eligibility for stock, incentive bonuses, and benefit programs, a flexible time off program, as well as paid holidays, bluebird days, and a holiday shutdown in December.
