Why This Role

Ready to bring real rigor to a global consumer brand's finance function? This Controller seat sits at the center of a growing, product-driven company's accounting operations, with direct line to the CFO and genuine ownership over how the close, consolidations, and controls get built from here.

  • Drive process improvements and strengthen internal controls across the organization
  • Support ad hoc projects including system implementations, M&A due diligence, and integration work as needed

What You Bring

  • CPA required
  • Big 4 public accounting experience strongly preferred

  • Background in consumer goods, retail, or a similarly fast-paced, product-driven industry
  • 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including people management
  • Strong technical accounting knowledge (GAAP) and demonstrated ability to research and apply complex standards
  • Proven experience owning the full close cycle in a company of meaningful scale
  • Strong proficiency in ERP systems, Power BI, Excel, and AI tools
