Senior Accounting Manager – London – London, England

Location: London with occasional travel to Hayes

At GoDaddy the future of work looks different for each team. Some teams work in the office full-time, others have a hybrid arrangement (they work remotely some days and in the office some days) and some work entirely remotely.

This is a hybrid position. You’ll divide your time between working remotely from your home and at our Hayes office, so you should live within commuting distance from the office. Hybrid teams may work in office as much as a few times a week or as little as once a month or quarter. The hiring manager can share more about what the future of work might look like for this team. Due to COVID-19, you’ll work remotely from day one until it’s safe for you to return to the office. Our leadership monitors local conditions and will communicate return to work plans as we approach reopening for the Hayes office.
