About Us

At THEKER, we’re taking on one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century: redefining how physical work gets done in the world.

We are a robotics and AI company building intelligent, adaptable systems that solve problems traditional automation never could. From Barcelona, our mission is to create a generation‑defining company leading the robotics revolution.

By joining us, you will have the chance to do the most meaningful work of your life, setting a new standard for industrial automation and driving breakthroughs with global reach, while being surrounded by a focused, talent‑dense team that shares this ambition and is here to win.

Your Role

We are looking for a Financial Controller to own THEKER's financial operations during this critical phase of growth.

Your mission is clear: build the financial infrastructure, establish controls, and give leadership full visibility over the company's financial health at all times. You will own day‑to‑day financial operations, from cash management and month‑end close to cost control and compliance, ensuring the company runs with discipline and accuracy.

This is a hands‑on, operational role. You will work closely with the founding team on financial decisions as they arise, but your primary focus is execution: keeping the books clean, the numbers accurate, and the processes running without gaps.

What We’re Looking For

• Degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field.
• Solid experience in financial controlling, accounting, or FP&A roles.
• Hands‑on experience with month‑end close, cost control, and cash management.
• Experience in high‑growth or transformation environments.
• Ability to build financial models from scratch and drive decisions based on data.
• High attention to detail and ability to operate independently with limited guidance.
• Fluent English. Spanish is a plus.
• Based in Barcelona or willing to relocate (100% on‑site role).

Nice to have

• Experience in startups, hardware companies, or tech environments.
• Knowledge of Spanish accounting and tax regulations.
• Experience managing public funding or grants (CDTI, Torres Quevedo, etc.).
• Exposure to audit preparation processes.

You’ll thrive at THEKER if

• You're excited by a fast‑paced and ambitious environment. The opportunity ahead of us is enormous, and we're going all in to capture it.
• You want responsibility early on, delivering at world‑class standards.
• You enjoy building processes from scratch and making order out of ambiguity.
• You're open to feedback, collaborative, and comfortable making decisions with imperfect information.

Main Responsibilities

• Own the month‑end and year‑end close process, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
• Manage cash flow, burn rate, and runway tracking with regular reporting to leadership.
• Control operating expenses, process vendor invoices and payments, and manage accounts payable.
• Maintain the general ledger, reconcile bank statements, and keep the chart of accounts clean and up to date.
• Prepare and monitor budgets by department, tracking actuals vs. plan and flagging variances proactively.
• Support audit processes and ensure compliance with local tax and accounting regulations.
• Build simple financial models to support operational decisions (headcount planning, project costing, capex tracking).
• Manage relationships with external accountants, auditors, and banking contacts.
• Design and implement financial controls and approval workflows as the team grows.

What We Offer

• Being part of a fast‑growing robotics and AI company with genuine ambition, where your career can accelerate alongside us.
• The chance to make a real impact from day one, building financial infrastructure that matters.
• A focused, talent‑dense team where your work is visible and your decisions count.
• An environment where new ideas are encouraged and your contributions shape both the operations and the company.
• 100% on‑site work in Barcelona.

What The Process Looks Like

• Intro call with Martín (Chief of Staff).
• Business case at our offices (2h).
• Conversation with the founders.
• Conversation with one of our investors.

These steps can be completed in 7 days.
