About The Position

Maven Machines is reimagining how the world moves freight. We are a fast-growing tech startup based in Pittsburgh that is building the next era of fleet management, dispatch, and infrastructure technologies for the transportation and service industries. In a few short years, we’ve grown from an idea to create smart driver safety tracking to becoming a fleet management and telematics company that has successfully deployed to thousands of drivers across the country with some of the nation’s top 100 fleets. Maven is hiring a Controller to own the day-to-day finance function and help build a strong foundation for the company’s next stage of growth. This is a hands-on role for someone who can bring rigor, reliability, and visibility to our financial operations while working closely with a Fractional CFO. We are looking for a strong finance operator who can run the core accounting and finance function today and has the potential to grow over time into a broader finance leadership role, including VP of Finance or CFO.
