As CohnReznick grows, so do our career opportunities. As one of the nation’s top professional services firms, CohnReznick creates rewarding careers in advisory, assurance, and tax with team members who value innovation and collaboration in everything they do!
CohnReznick helps organizations optimize performance, manage risk, and maximize value through CohnReznick LLP (assurance services) and CohnReznick Advisory LLC (advisory and tax services). Together, the firm provides leaders with deep industry knowledge and relationships, solutions to address clients’ unique business goals and risks, and insight on how emerging market forces can drive opportunity. With offices nationwide, the firm serves organizations around the world as an independent member of Nexia.
We currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Director/Managing Director, AI Software Development to support our Global Digital & CyberSecurity practice.
CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices. This position is considered remote which means it does not require job duties be performed within proximity of a CohnReznick office location. However, as a remote employee, you may be required to be present at a CohnReznick office with scheduled notice for client work, team meetings, or trainings.
YOUR TEAM
The Director / Managing Director, AI Software Development is a senior technology leader responsible for establishing and leading CohnReznick's software engineering capability. This position defines the vision, strategy, operating model, talent plan, architecture, and delivery approach for AI-enabled products, platforms, and solutions across the firm.
The position is accountable for building a high-performing AI-native software development organization capable of delivering proprietary technology assets that create sustainable competitive advantage. The leader oversees the design, development, deployment, and operation of AI-powered applications, intelligent automation solutions, agentic workflows, and client-facing digital products.
This is not a traditional application-development leadership role. The successful candidate must have personally built and scaled a native AI software team from inception through production delivery, including recruiting specialized talent, establishing engineering and governance standards, and delivering secure applications with measurable business impact.
YOUR ROLE
Responsibilities include but not limited to:
AI strategy and portfolio leadership
- Define and execute a multi-year AI software engineering strategy aligned with firm business and technology objectives.
- Establish the vision, roadmap, investment priorities, and operating model for the GDC AI development capability.
- Identify opportunities to create proprietary software assets that improve client service, quality, efficiency, growth, and professional experience.
- Advise executive leaders and governance forums on opportunities, investments, risks, dependencies, and portfolio performance.
Native AI organization building
- Recruit, organize, develop, and retain a multidisciplinary team of AI engineers, software engineers, machine learning engineers, technical leads, and architects.
- Define job architecture, role expectations, career paths, leadership spans, technical communities, and talent-development practices for the AI engineering function.
- Create an engineering culture centered on innovation, responsible experimentation, accountability, inclusion, collaboration, and disciplined production delivery.
- Build a sustainable talent pipeline and develop future engineering leaders.
Product and solution delivery
- Lead AI-enabled products, platforms, and solutions from discovery and architecture through engineering, release, adoption, operation, and continuous improvement.
- Partner with Product Management and business stakeholders to translate strategic priorities into sequenced, funded, and measurable delivery commitments.
- Manage execution across concurrent initiatives while balancing value, speed, quality, security, risk, reliability, and maintainability.
- Establish outcome, delivery, quality, adoption, and operational measures; use results to improve priorities and execution.
Architecture, engineering, and operations
- Establish development standards, reference architectures, engineering frameworks, reusable components, testing practices, and technical quality controls.
- Define patterns for large language model integration, agentic systems, retrieval-augmented generation, intelligent workflow automation, observability, evaluation, and model operations.
- Implement modern cloud-native engineering, DevSecOps, CI/CD, API, integration, reliability, incident-management, and lifecycle-management practices.
- Promote reuse, platform leverage, technical-debt management, and reduction of unnecessary technology redundancy.
Governance, risk, and stakeholder leadership
- Embed security, privacy, legal, regulatory, records-management, data-governance, and responsible AI requirements throughout the development lifecycle.
- Partner with Enterprise Architecture, Information Security, Data & Analytics, Risk, Legal, and other control functions to govern design and deployment decisions.
- Communicate complex technical matters in clear business terms and build trusted relationships with executives, professionals, clients, vendors, and strategic partners.
- Drive adoption, change leadership, knowledge transfer, and transparent reporting of progress, risks, decisions, and realized value.
The duties listed are intended to describe the general nature and level of work performed. They are not an exhaustive list of every responsibility, duty, or skill required. Responsibilities may change based on business needs.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
The successful candidate will have:
Education and experience
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
- Fifteen or more years of progressive software engineering and technology leadership experience.
- Seven or more years leading software development organizations, including leaders of engineering teams.
- Five or more years delivering AI-enabled applications, machine learning platforms, intelligent automation solutions, or generative AI products.
- Demonstrated success creating and scaling a native AI software development organization that moved beyond pilots and experimentation to secure, production-grade solutions.
- Proven delivery of enterprise-grade software products and platforms in complex, regulated, or high-trust environments.
- Experience leading geographically distributed teams and a blended workforce of employees, contractors, and strategic partners.
Technical and delivery expertise
- Generative AI, large language models, agentic architectures, retrieval-augmented generation, AI evaluation, observability, and model operations.
- Cloud-native software development, enterprise application architecture, APIs, integration patterns, data platforms, and analytics ecosystems.
- DevSecOps, CI/CD, automated testing, software supply-chain controls, production reliability, and secure development lifecycle practices.
- Responsible AI, AI governance, privacy, security, model risk, data governance, and human oversight.
- Product-oriented delivery using measurable outcomes, iterative development, user feedback, adoption measures, and value realization.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Advanced degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Business, or a related field.
- Leadership experience in professional services, financial services, regulated industries, or enterprise B2B software.
- Experience with Microsoft Azure AI, Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Copilot technologies, and modern AI engineering frameworks.
- Relevant credentials in AI, cloud architecture, software engineering, cybersecurity, or product delivery.
- Experience commercializing proprietary software or creating client-facing digital products and technology-enabled services.

Search Accounting Jobs in GeorgiaAccounting E-3 Sponsorship Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
Which accounting companies sponsor E-3 visas in Georgia?
The Big Four firms, Deloitte, EY, KPMG, and PwC, all have established Atlanta offices with documented histories of E-3 visa and H-1B visa sponsorship for accounting professionals. Beyond public accounting, Georgia-headquartered companies such as Coca-Cola, Home Depot, and Delta Air Lines maintain large corporate accounting and finance teams that have sponsored skilled foreign workers. Regional mid-size CPA firms sponsor less consistently, so targeting large firms or multinational corporations increases your chances of finding a willing sponsor.
Which cities in Georgia have the most accounting E-3 sponsorship jobs?
Atlanta accounts for the overwhelming majority of accounting E-3 sponsorship opportunities in Georgia. The city's Midtown and Buckhead districts host Big Four offices, major banks, and corporate headquarters. Sandy Springs and Alpharetta, both in the Atlanta metro, have growing financial services and shared services center presence worth targeting. Outside the metro area, accounting sponsorship opportunities are limited, making Atlanta the practical focus for Australian candidates pursuing E-3 roles in this state.
What types of accounting roles typically qualify for E-3 sponsorship?
E-3 sponsorship requires the position to qualify as a specialty occupation, meaning it must normally require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. In accounting, roles that consistently meet this standard include external audit associate, tax consultant, forensic accountant, financial reporting analyst, and management accountant. General bookkeeping or accounts payable processing roles that do not require a specific degree often do not qualify. Your degree field should directly relate to the duties of the offered position.
How do I find accounting E-3 sponsorship jobs in Georgia?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for international candidates seeking visa sponsorship and lets you filter by visa type, state, and industry, making it straightforward to browse accounting E-3 jobs in Georgia without sifting through postings from employers who do not sponsor. Beyond the platform, targeting Big Four firms and large Atlanta-headquartered corporations directly through their careers pages is a practical complement, as these employers have established sponsorship infrastructure and hire Australian accountants with the E-3 regularly.
Are there any Georgia-specific or accounting-specific considerations for E-3 sponsorship?
Georgia does not impose state-level licensing requirements that affect the E-3 application itself, but if you plan to work toward a CPA license while on E-3 status, Georgia's State Board of Accountancy has its own education and residency requirements worth reviewing separately. From a sponsorship standpoint, Georgia's large concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters in the Atlanta metro means many employers already have immigration counsel on retainer, which generally makes the sponsorship process smoother than working with smaller firms encountering it for the first time.
What is the prevailing wage for E-3 accounting jobs in Georgia?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
