Accounting Manager

  • Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota
  • Remote: Remote
  • Type: Direct Hire
  • Job #53214

SkyWater is thrilled to be partnering with a $500M+ food manufacturer in the southwest metro (owned by a large publicly traded parent) to add an Accounting Manager to their team!
 
We placed the last person in this seat and she just moved up into finance – so the path is REAL. This company is investing heavily in technology (automation, AI tools, the works!) and this role gets to lead the charge, moving the team from transactional accounting to exception-based review and GL automation. You’d get big-company controls exposure without the big-company bureaucracy.
 
For this role, we need –
• Someone who wants to lead people AND enjoys it – you’ll have a team of six
• A track record of improving a process through technology (automation, systems, reporting)
• Comfortable in the office three days a week (with flexible core hours)
 
Public accounting roots are a big plus, and newly promoted audit managers looking to make the jump to industry are welcome!

Senior Information Security Analyst

  • Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota
  • Remote: Remote
  • Type: Direct Hire
  • Job #53206

SkyWater is partnering with a global professional services firm adding its first dedicated GRC hire to a small, hands-on information security team. You will report to the security manager who owns GRC today, and you will take over a large share of the day-to-day: client security assessments, contract security reviews, and the annual ISO 27001 surveillance audit. The firm’s clients ask more of security every year, and this role exists so the work keeps pace.

You will work in a Microsoft cloud environment and help on an identity and access cleanup, a data loss prevention rollout, and early AI governance work.

Non-negotiables: you have owned an ISMS audit cycle from scoping through remediation, you have done it inside a single organization for several years, and you can work independently without much oversight.

Why it is worth a look: a small team, real ownership, a visible AI governance roadmap, and a remote-friendly setup with an optional Twin Cities desk. Base is $100,000 to $130,000

To apply, reach out to me or submit an application here.
