Controller
About The Position
We offer a flexible working policy that supports a healthy balance between personal and professional well-being. This role requires in-office presence on Tuesdays and Thursdays to collaborate, connect, and learn from peers, while also maintaining the flexibility for meaningful work-life balance. Being a Controller at iManage Means… You will own the integrity of iManage's global accounting operations, reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer and serving as a key member of the CFO's leadership team. You'll lead Accounting and Accounts Payable, partner closely with Internal Audit, and set the standard for how a scaling, global SaaS company closes its books, controls its risk, and reports its results. This role is as much about people and process as it is about numbers. You'll build a high-performing accounting organization, strengthen the control environment as iManage grows, and partner across FP&A, Tax, Treasury, Commercial Ops, and IT to make sure the financial backbone of the company scales with the business.
