Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer, this role covers the full accounting cycle, ERP ownership, tax and audit compliance, and oversight of payables, receivables, and procurement. As the company continues to scale within a complex global multi-entity environment, the Controller will ensure the accounting controls, processes, and systems that support sound decisions remain reliable and compliant. This role is centered on accounting operations and reporting, not forecasting, budgeting, or commercial finance.
