We are looking for a Corporate Controller to lead our accounting function through this period of growth — owning the close, and standing up scalable systems and controls.

- 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including a controller-level leadership role
- Manufacturing or hardware accounting experience (inventory, standard costing, BOMs, WIP)
- Experience taking a company through the audit readiness process, including implementation of ASC 606 Revenue Recognition
- Hands-on ERP implementation experience is strongly preferred
- Track record of building teams, processes, and controls in a high-growth or scaling company
