Job description

About The Company

General Intuition is the frontier lab for acting in space and time. We build large action models and world models that can perceive, predict, and act across virtual and physical environments. General Intuition builds on the strength of Medal, the world's largest and fastest-growing platform for gaming clips, where millions of gamers capture, share, and discover new games every year. We recently raised $320M at a $2.3B valuation led by Khosla Ventures with participation from General Catalyst, Eric Schmidt, and Jeff Bezos, to discover the next generation of real-world intelligence.

The Role

As Global Controller, you'll own US accounting, reporting, and compliance end-to-end - from day-to-day bookkeeping to technical GAAP calls, tax filings, audits, and the processes that make us more efficient every quarter.

You'll move fluidly between living in the ledgers, leading month-end close, automating workflows, and coordinating auditors across multiple jurisdictions. We need insane attention to detail, mastery of US GAAP, and strong US + international tax knowledge - someone who raises the bar on quality while helping us move fast.

What We're Looking For

• You own the general ledger and the monthly, quarterly, and annual close in US GAAP - revenue recognition, accruals, capitalization, and reconciliations - fast and precise, with the policies and internal controls to back it.

• You run US federal and state corporate tax plus international tax - quarterly estimates, filings, cross-border entity structures, and transfer pricing - coordinating external advisors and staying ahead of regulatory change.

• You own payroll compliance - payroll taxes, filings, and the PEO/provider relationship.

• You lead audits and reporting - annual financial statements, audit prep, investor updates and due diligence, plus the management dashboards and variance analyses behind strategic decisions.

• You build and automate scalable finance processes across accounting, billing, payroll, and reporting - an AI-native operator who uses modern AI tooling to kill manual work and error risk, excited to build a lean, heavily automated finance function.

• You bring 10-15 years including Big 4 / public accounting, deep US GAAP and financial-statement expertise, and hands-on US + international tax across multi-entity structures and complex reconciliations.

• You thrive autonomously in a fast-paced startup - comfortable with ambiguity, extreme attention to detail, happy in the weeds. Bonus: you've stood up a finance function from scratch.
