Global Corporate Controller

About Robot.com At Robot.com, we automate businesses to achieve peak efficiency and productivity, freeing human time for higher-level tasks. We believe that the future will be powered by clean and effective technological solutions, and we are committed to providing low- or no-cost delivery services to everyone. We are one of the top tech startups emerging from Latin America operating directly in the US market. As a dynamic, fast-paced organization, we value collaboration, creativity, and innovation, and we are looking for leaders who share our passion for building the future of autonomous, robotic last-mile delivery.

The Opportunity We are seeking a dynamic, forward-thinking Global Corporate Controller to lead our worldwide accounting operations, financial reporting, and compliance framework across the United States and Colombia. Reporting directly to the CFO, you will serve as the chief architect of our financial close, multi-currency consolidations, and internal controls framework as we scale toward IPO readiness and public company standards. We are not looking for a traditional, backward-looking accounting manager; we need a modern, tech-forward finance leader who leverages AI automation to eliminate manual workflows, dramatically shorten the monthly close cycle, and act as a strategic business partner across our international operations.

As our Global Corporate Controller, a typical day might include:

• Accelerating the Global Close: Leading and orchestrating the end-to-end monthly, quarterly, and annual operational close across US, Colombian, and Mexican entities—continuously re-engineering processes to dramatically shorten close cycles without sacrificing data integrity.

• Managing Multi-Currency Consolidations: Directing multi-subsidiary, multi-currency consolidations, intercompany eliminations, and FX remeasurement/translation (USD/COP)

• Driving AI & Automation Initiatives: Championing and deploying AI-driven tools, workflow automation, and intelligent reconciliations across AP, AR, payroll, and close management to eliminate manual spreadsheets and repetitive tasks.

• Guiding System Evolution (QBO to ERP): Managing the current accounting environment within QuickBooks Online (QBO) while designing and executing the roadmap to migrate to a scalable, enterprise-grade ERP (e.g., NetSuite OneWorld, SAP) capable of handling multiple currencies and statutory requirements.

• Directing SEC & Technical Accounting: Overseeing technical accounting research, revenue recognition, policy documentation under US GAAP, and preparing financial statements and disclosures aligned with SEC reporting and IPO-readiness standards.

• Overseeing Local Statutory & Tax Compliance: Ensuring timely local statutory reporting and tax compliance in each jurisdiction (e.g., Colombian IFRS/NIIF and DIAN requirements), and coordinating with external tax advisors on transfer pricing and cross-border tax matters.

• Leading Audit Readiness: Serving as the primary point of contact for external audit firms and accounting/audit service providers, ensuring clean, timely, unqualified audit opinions and establishing SOX-ready internal control environments.

• Team Building & Leadership: Building and developing an agile team with an eye toward public company readiness and providing broader accounting and reporting leadership guidance for finance, operations, treasury, and other peer groups

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partnering with regional operational leaders, engineering teams, and executive management to translate complex financial data into actionable unit economics and operational metrics.

This job might be the right one for you if you:

• Work Authorization: Authorized to work in the United States, Colombia, or Mexico, based on where you'll be located. Ability to travel to the US (e.g., a valid B1/B2 visa) is a plus. We are unable to sponsor work visas for this role.

• Education & Credentials: Hold a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance; an active CPA or other country equivalent is preferred; Master’s degree or other credentials are valued.

• Proven Track Record: 10+ years of progressive accounting and financial leadership experience, including 4+ years as a Corporate Controller, Assistant Controller, or Director of Accounting in a high-growth, multinational tech environment, with demonstrated success compressing the monthly close.

• US GAAP & SEC Expertise: Possess deep, practical mastery of US GAAP and experience preparing or overseeing SEC-grade financial reporting and disclosures.

• Close Acceleration Track Record: Have direct, demonstrable experience diagnosing operational bottlenecks and significantly compressing the monthly close timeline.

• Consolidation Mastery: Have deep experience managing operational close plus complex multi-currency, multi-entity consolidations (specifically USD and Latin American currencies).

• AI & Automation Driven: Actively leverage AI automation, intelligent document processing, and modern accounting tools to build frictionless financial workflows.

• Systems Agility: Have hands-on familiarity with QuickBooks Online (QBO) alongside proven experience selecting, implementing, or operating an enterprise ERP for future scale.

• Cross-Border Leadership & Business Acumen: Combine technical rigor with strong commercial acumen, capable of partnering cross-functionally across operations, tech, and finance.

• Language Proficiency: Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. Bilingual fluency in English and Spanish (written and verbal) is optimal to seamlessly liaise with US leadership, Latin American teams, and local regulatory bodies.

You might also have:

• Direct experience leading an accounting function through an IPO, SPAC, or other public-company readiness initiative.

• Background in a Big 4 or top-tier national public accounting firm.

• Familiarity with hardware/fleet inventory accounting, logistics, or robotics manufacturing cost structures.

Location: Hybrid (United States / Colombia / Mexico) Compensation:
