- This is a full-time remote position
Our client is seeking a Finance/Accounting professional with a deep understanding of how to grow the department without having administrative functions slow down the organization. The ideal candidate will be one who is able to "tell us what we don't know" and make suitable implementations of tools and personnel which will enable the company to carry out its mission.
Core responsibilities
- Lead the finance team (4 people, plus external accountants), which is responsible for managing the accounting, payroll, and other finance functions for multiple entities in different jurisdictions
- Manage core financial processes, including:
- Accounting (including managing external accountants/auditors/tax planners & managing monthly closing process)
- Governance and internal controls (i.e. managing corporate processes that control entities + finances)
- Reporting (i.e. to Executive Director, budget owners, etc)
- Manage internal systems, policies and procedures to allow for growth of all entities.
- Interface with Management, Treasury, Legal, and other teams to help them achieve their goals through the data that is collected by Finance.
- Work with teammates involved in planning by providing Actual/Historical data. This will allow the collective organization to better shape Budgets/Forecasts and assist with monitoring spending and metrics.
- Assist leaders with providing metrics and industry comparables to allow for benchmarking of spending and compensation.
- Depth of experience. We want to add someone to the team who brings years of experience across different organizations, who can manage a complex organization w/ significant assets.
- Culture and geographical fit with the company. The ideal candidate is humble, entrepreneurial, and cares about the impact of their work. Because we operate globally, the ideal candidate will be one who can interface with teammates across multiple time zones.
- Able to adapt to a new environment. Success in this role will mean adapting (sentence got cut off? Could be "...adapting to the unique needs of the organization")
- A proactive project-manager type. We don't want someone who will sit back and be content performing a narrow function, waiting to be given instructions. We want someone who is eager to improve the org, and has the skills to make those improvements by translating ideas into plans, and managing a team to execute those plans.
- Knowledge & interest in our mission We want someone who believes in our larger mission, and is interested in solving the new challenges facing the company.
- 5+ years in a Senior manager / Financial Controller role, or equivalent experience.
- Prior background at a Big 4, investment bank or commercial bank
