Controller

EnergyHub•Brooklyn, NY

23d

About The Position

As our Controller, you’ll partner closely with our executive team to help build the systems and processes that strengthen the G&A backbone of the company. As an independent subsidiary business of Alarm.com, we have been a part of a public company reporting environment for the past decade, though have been largely operating with a centralized G&A function at the Alarm.com level. We’re taking a meaningful step towards a decentralized model at this stage in our maturity and hiring a Controller to report directly to our CEO, with a dotted line to the Alarm.com CFO. The role will blend traditional corporate controllership responsibilities with divisional ones, relying upon and coordinating with Alarm.com finance leaders in areas such as Technical Accounting, Tax, Internal Audit, FP&A, and Investor Relations. This is an opportunity to be on the ground floor of a dedicated finance and accounting movement for a scaling SaaS business within a public company environment.
