Job description

The Corporate Controller is a Vice President level manager and the principal accounting executive at the company. A member of the Corporate Leadership Team reporting to the Chief Financial Officer, the Corporate Controller is accountable for the company's global accounting plans, operations, management reporting, accounting systems, and internal controls, and ensures the integrity and accuracy of the company's financial statements. The Corporate Controller works closely with the CFO and other executive officers in support of corporate decision-making, monitoring and improving business performance, and evaluating and improving corporate risk management.

Enthought is a lean, automation-first company: every role, technical or not, is expected to use agentic AI tools to automate routine work. For the Corporate Controller, this means using AI agents to automate routine accounting work such as transaction processing, reconciliations, the close, and reporting, while designing the processes, setting the controls, verifying the results, and taking unqualified responsibility for the integrity of the company's financial statements.

Key Responsibilities

• Design an agent-first finance function, applying deep accounting knowledge to determine where agentic AI tools can automate routine work across transaction processing, reconciliations, the close, management reporting, and audit preparation, and re-engineering processes around them to compress reporting cycles and free the team for analysis and business partnership
• Provide strategic management and oversight of global accounting operations, management reporting, accounting systems, and internal controls
• Ensure internal controls, data security, and auditability keep pace with automation, so that every AI-assisted process is documented, controlled, and reviewable, with the company's financial data handled only in approved, secure configurations
• Develop and implement accounting policies and procedures, including policies governing the use of AI in accounting operations, and drive improvements that ensure the integrity and accuracy of the company's financial information
• Assist in the management of the company's treasury and risk management functions
• Manage relations with the company's independent auditors, including annual and special audits
• Collaborate with technology team on decisions including the selection and secure deployment of AI and automation tools for the finance function, and oversee accounting systems implementations and upgrades
• Serve as a business and accounting advisor to the company's executives and group vice presidents
• Hire, train, and retain skilled accounting staff, and develop the team's fluency in directing AI tools as a core professional skill
• Issue timely and complete management reports and statements
