We are actively seeking a dynamic finance leader to join our team as the Corporate Controller.

In addition, the successful candidate will join the company’s leadership team, reporting to the Chief Financial Officer, on our journey from the current single location, pre-revenue stage, to an operating company with a broad range of commercial and development activities, and therefore will be looked to for a wide range of financial, process and business insight.
A strong accounting background, including a CPA certification and experience as the corporate functional leader of a dynamic, growing company is valued. Additionally, although we do not presently have plans to go public, we do expect to be doing periodic financings, so experience with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance, a successful track record with a public accounting firm and experience operating a company with SEC reporting requirements is also important.

- Investor interactions and reporting: Supporting investor diligence, reporting needs, audit confirmations, tax forms (K1s) and more detailed reporting as needed.
- Controls environment: Growing and strengthening the system of controls to ensure material accuracy (and prepare to be functionally “Sarbanes-Oxley compliant”) and that we are well-prepared for potentially being a public company in the future.
- Financial operations: Managing and growing key related financial functions, including accounts payable, payroll and cash management.
- Company leadership team: As a member of the company’s leadership team, providing insight on process improvement, business planning and financial optimization, including inventory management, insurance, ERP, compliance and other issues as they arise.
- Audit Committee: Leading interactions and reporting with the Audit Committee; with CFO.
- Technical accounting advisor: Informing the business on technical accounting considerations as the Company expands and commercializes its technology.
- Team management and development: Serving as a coach and mentor to employees and building an exceptional team. Managing accounting team in accomplishing work in each area of responsibility, setting objectives, overseeing work, providing feedback and working with team members on career development plans.
