The Assistant Controller will liaise with various cross functional leaders and teams including, Technical Accounting, Financial Reporting, Tax, Treasury, Capital Markets, Strategic Finance, People, Legal, Product, Engineering and many others. Our fast paced environment requires excellent organization and strong execution to manage a variety of complex projects simultaneously.

Lead and develop high-performance, high-integrity Global GL, Accounting Operations, International Accounting, and Global Equity and Payroll teams.
Oversee timely monthly and quarterly close processes and support the SEC & regulatory reporting requirements.
Ensure accounting policies supporting US GAAP and appropriate internal controls are in place and followed.
Ensure compliance with internal policies and external requirements; produce accurate, timely, and useful management reports.
