Global Controller

Operations & Finance | Remote (United States) | Full time

You will own the global close, consolidation across our US parent and international subsidiaries, and the internal controls that keep a multi-currency, intercompany business clean and audit-ready. Success looks like a faster, tighter close, consolidated financials you can stand behind, transfer pricing and intercompany flows that hold up under scrutiny, and a finance function that gives leadership real-time visibility instead of month-old answers.
