Capital Asset Jobs (NOW HIRING)

IGT is seeking an experienced Manager, Capital Assets & Lease Accounting to join our Corporate Accounting organization. This role will oversee key aspects of the Company's global accounting for tangible and intangible capital assets, capital projects, and lessee activity, ensuring accurate and timely accounting and reporting in accordance with U.S. GAAP and Company policies.

The Manager will be responsible for maintaining strong financial controls across the asset lifecycle-from initial capital expenditure and construction-in-progress through capitalization, depreciation or amortization, transfers, impairment, and disposal. The role will also oversee accounting for internally developed software and global lessee activity related to real estate and equipment, as well as support purchase accounting and integration activities for acquired fixed assets.

This position will partner closely with Corporate Accounting, Technical Accounting, Real Estate, FP&A, Technology, Procurement, Tax, Legal, and business finance teams. A key focus of the role will be strengthening and standardizing global processes, improving visibility into capital projects and lease obligations, and identifying opportunities for automation and operational efficiencies.

The successful candidate will be a hands-on accounting leader who combines strong technical accounting knowledge with an operational mindset. This individual should be comfortable working through complex asset and lease accounting matters while also seeing the bigger picture, challenging existing processes, and partnering across the organization to improve how capital investments and lease obligations are accounted for and reported.
