Controller positions focus on delivering results in their domain. This page aggregates open Controller roles and what employers typically expect.
Metabase is the easiest way for people to get insights from their data, from tiny startups who get up and running quickly to major corporations with tens of thousands of users. That's why people love us. We bring data tools with the elegance and simplicity of consumer products to the crufty world of enterprise business intelligence. We provide an opinionated open source starting point for how companies should measure, analyze and share their data, which is used by tens of thousands of companies. Metabase's BizOps & Finance team builds the systems keeping the company running smoothly behind the scenes. We cover a wide range of areas — finance and accounting, sales operations, legal operations, compliance, and account management — but we treat them all as flavors of operations. Whatever the task, we take a systems-driven approach — design it, build it, and run it (ideally, automatically). Our goal is to free the rest of the company to focus on building great software. We're hiring an experienced Controller to own accounting and financial operations at Metabase. It's a broad startup controller role: you'll own core accounting and audit, along with tax, payments, and expense management. Today we run as a small, high-leverage team that delivers much of this through external firms - accountants and tax professionals - so your initial focus will be on managing those partners. Over time, there's scope to bring accounting in-house. This is a role for someone who's an expert in their domain but comfortable in a fluid, ambiguous environment - and energized by building out our financial operations as well as running them.
