Overview
Metropolis is an artificial intelligence company that uses computer vision technology to enable frictionless, checkout-free experiences.

We envision a future where people transact in the real world with speed and ease, even online, and power checkout-free experiences wherever you go. Who you are
Metropolis is seeking a Controller to play a key leadership role in the execution of corporate accounting operations.

They set the vision, establish world-class standards, and directly shape the company’s IPO and public-company readiness. What you’ll do
Enterprise Leadership: Own all corporate controllership functions including revenue accounting, consolidations, client reporting, AR/AP, and compliance. IPO Readiness & Governance: Build SEC/SOX-ready processes, lead audits, and establish scalable internal controls. Transformation: Redesign the financial close (manual-to-automated), deploy new ERP/TMS/AI-enabled solutions, and integrate acquisitions. Strategic Partnering: Deliver insights to ELT/Board; partner with FP&A on forward-looking analysis; support M&A due diligence and post-merger integration. Team Building: Hire and develop senior leaders across accounting, setting up a durable organizational model. What we’re looking for
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA required. 15+ years progressive accounting/controllership experience, with 5+ at senior leadership. Strong technical accounting knowledge (GAAP/IFRS) and consolidation experience. Proven track record of leading large-scale transformation (systems, processes, talent). Deep experience in IPO/public company processes, SOX, and SEC reporting. Hands-on leader who has built close-to-reporting processes in complex environments. Comfortable with ambiguity and building from ground up. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work across cultures and geographies. Nice to have
High-growth, complex, multi-entity operating experience (SaaS, marketplaces, payments, or real estate). Compensation, culture and by-join notes
When you join Metropolis, you’ll join a team of world-class product leaders and engineers, building an ecosystem at the intersection of parking, mobility, and real estate. The anticipated base salary for this position is $275,000.00 USD to $290,000.00 USD annually. The actual base salary offered is determined by factors including qualifications, experience, education, and location. Base salary is one component of Metropolis’s total compensation package, which may also include healthcare benefits, a 401(k), disability coverage, life insurance, stock options, bonuses, and more. Metropolis is an equal opportunity employer. We make all hiring decisions based on merit, qualifications, and business needs, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic. We value in-person collaboration and may require on-site presence as part of our culture. Equal Opportunity and privacy note
