Corporate Controller & M&A Integration Lead

What Will You Be Involved With?

• Exception-Based Review: Design and oversee an automated anomaly detection process to flag variances or unusual entries early in the cycle, shifting the team’s focus from data entry to high-value analysis and "Close Quality" KPIs.

• Global Consolidation: Manage the complex eliminations and intercompany flows across the organization, ensuring high-fidelity reporting of consolidated results.
  
  

• 
  The "No PO, No Pay" Mandate: Design and enforce a global Purchase Order (PO) architecture. You will be the executive owner of the procurement tech stack, ensuring that 100% of non-payroll spend is pre-approved.
• Operational Scalability: Identify and automate manual bottlenecks in the accounts payable, receivable, and expense management workflows to support a $1B+ market cap.
  
  

• 
  Cash Command: Oversee global cash positioning and 12-week rolling cash forecasts. Manage banking relationships and ensure 100% debt covenant compliance.
• Sub-Certification: Implement a "Sub-Certification" program where subsidiary leads certify financial results, ensuring a clear chain of accountability for the CEO/CFO.
