About the company:

We're transforming the global food system by creating better ways to make meat, dairy and fish without using animals -- delicious, good for people, and good for the planet. Our approach: understand what people love about meat, dairy, and fish, and then explore the plant world for specific ingredients that recreate those experiences. In 2016, we launched the Impossible™ Burger: meat made from plants, for people who love to eat meat.

Founded in 2011 by Pat Brown MD, PhD (Stanford Professor Emeritus) and backed by top-tier VCs and visionaries, we’re looking for the very best scientists, engineers, food developers, and business professionals in the world to join our creative, diverse, multi-talented and mission-driven team. We’re here to secure a sustainable future (and have fun while doing it). Come work with us to change the course of history.

Impossible Foods is looking for a versatile Corporate Accounting Manager to join our growing team and help us scale for the future, in a fast-paced environment that’s growing rapidly! Our Corporate Accounting team is responsible for all aspects of the monthly close processes, financial and management reporting processes, financial systems, audits and supporting the business. The ideal individual is a well-rounded top performer who can be a key contributor in a high-energy growth environment, well organized, detail oriented, and one that has an analytical attitude while having the ability to learn and adapt to changes.

  • Build and maintain accounting policies and internal control procedures
  • Assist in support of external audit, including preparation and coordination of audit requests and ongoing support
  • Support management in completing special projects, ad-hoc reporting and analysis requests, and other tasks as assigned
