ABOUT YOU
You don’t wait for direction. You take control. You see problems early, move fast, and fix them completely. You bring discipline to messy environments and hold the line on quality, even when timelines are aggressive.
You are:
Relentlessly independent — you own outcomes end to end
Commanding and direct, comfortable setting expectations and enforcing standards
Intensely detail-driven — you notice what others miss and don’t let it slide
Fast-moving and decisive, able to execute under real pressure
Uncompromisingly precise — accuracy is not negotiable
Powered by a built-in sense of urgency — you expect things to move promptly
Comfortable juggling multiple deadlines and priorities without losing control
Willing to challenge bad information, bad processes, and bad habits
Energized by accountability, complexity, and being the person everyone counts on
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking a Corporate Controller to serve as the financial steward of the organization — owning the integrity of the general ledger, the rigor of the close process, and the accuracy of all financial reporting. This is a senior, high-accountability position for a technically strong accounting professional who thrives on ownership, operates with precision, and brings order and structure to complex financial environments.
The Corporate Controller will lead a team of accounting professionals, partner closely with the CFO and executive leadership, and ensure that all financial operations meet the highest standards of accuracy, compliance, and internal control. This role is for a builder and operator: someone who can both execute the technical work and scale the systems around it.
You’ll be expected to drive change, even when there’s resistance. That means leading system implementations, rolling out new processes, building automations, tightening controls, and ensuring audit readiness. You won’t just maintain what exists — you’ll fix what’s broken and raise the bar.
