Vice President, Global Corporate Controller

We are a high-growth, private, consumption-based software company seeking a Vice President, Global Controller to build and lead our accounting, tax, treasury, and procurement functions. This is a rare opportunity for a hands-on financial leader to own the full accounting and operating infrastructure of a scaling business, partner closely with the CFO and executive team, and help architect the systems, controls, and international footprint needed to support the company's next phase of growth.

• Own all aspects of global accounting operations, including the monthly and quarterly close, consolidations, technical accounting (including usage-based/consumption revenue recognition under ASC 606), and financial reporting.
• Lead corporate tax strategy and compliance, including domestic and international tax planning, transfer pricing, and indirect tax (sales/use, VAT/GST) as the company expands globally.
• Build and manage treasury operations: cash management, banking relationships, FX exposure, and capital deployment across multiple currencies and entities.
• Own global procurement and vendor management: source-to-pay processes, vendor contract negotiation, spend management, and purchasing policies/controls as the company scales.
• Design and scale accounting infrastructure, systems, and processes (ERP, billing, and close automation) to support rapid consumption-based revenue growth.
• Establish and maintain a strong internal control environment (SOX-ready), including policies, procedures, and audit readiness in anticipation of a future public offering or transaction.
• Lead all aspects of the annual financial statement audit and manage relationships with external auditors, tax advisors, and banking partners.
• Guide international expansion from a finance and accounting perspective: entity structuring, local statutory and tax compliance, and building out finance operations in new markets.
• Partner with the CFO and cross-functional leaders (Legal, Sales, Revenue Operations) on deal structuring, contract review, and revenue recognition for new consumption-based pricing models.
• Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing global accounting and tax team as the organization grows.
• Deliver accurate, timely financial reporting to executive leadership, the board of directors, and investors.

• 12+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, including significant leadership experience in a high-growth SaaS or consumption/usage-based software company for both private and public companies.
• CPA required; Big 4 public accounting background strongly preferred.
• Deep expertise in US GAAP, including ASC 606 revenue recognition for consumption/usage-based models.
• Proven experience building or scaling tax and treasury functions, including international tax and multi-entity/multi-currency operations.
• Track record of scaling accounting infrastructure and teams through periods of rapid growth, ideally including international expansion.
• Experience preparing an organization for an IPO is strongly preferred.
• Experience owning or partnering closely with procurement/vendor management, including contract negotiation and spend controls.
• Strong systems acumen (e.g., NetSuite, Workday, or similar ERP; billing platforms for usage-based revenue).
• Excellent communication and executive presence; able to partner directly with the CFO, CEO, board, and investors.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; MBA a plus.

• The estimated pay range for this role is $275k - $350k with a 30% annual bonus.
• Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Temporal’s equity plan.
