Job description

We're working with a fast-growing construction technology business that retrofits heavy machinery with easy-to-use software and Physical AI, tackling safety and productivity challenges directly on the jobsite. Their subscription-based automation model delivers field-ready solutions without the upfront cost of new equipment.

Backed by more than $18M in venture funding and recognized for four consecutive years on a leading construction robotics industry Top 50 list, they're now building out their financial leadership team to support the next stage of growth, including a path toward IPO readiness.

Role Overview

This is a rare opportunity to build a finance function from the ground up as the first foundational US finance leader for the business. You'll own a broad, hands-on mandate - from day-to-day controllership, treasury and tax to spearheading IPO-readiness - while partnering closely with the global leadership team and scaling your own team along the way.

Where you will make a difference

• Own the monthly and quarterly US GAAP close, including complex revenue recognition across hardware and subscription models (ASC 606)
• Manage hardware COGS/BOM, inventory tracking, fixed-asset and capex accounting, and gross margin analysis
• Oversee AP/AR and payroll cycles while driving ERP improvements, internal controls, and external audit support
• Lead federal and multi-state tax compliance, transfer pricing, and R&D credits, directing external specialists as needed
• Direct cash and FX management, and establish investment, borrowing, and delegation-of-authority policies
• Manage bank credit facilities, equipment capital leases, and fleet financing strategies
• Spearhead SEC-ready financial reporting, GAAP conversion, segment reporting, and fast-close frameworks as part of IPO-readiness
• Design the risk-control matrix and ITGCs, and drive SOX Section 404(a) readiness
• Manage equity-compensation accounting and help establish foundational corporate governance

Who you are

• Founder's mentality - proactive, adaptable, and comfortable building processes, policies, and teams in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
• Experience as a finance leader with ops-first controllership experience at a hard-tech, robotics, or manufacturing company
• Deep US GAAP fluency across revenue recognition (ASC 606), cost/inventory accounting, and leasing (ASC 842)
• Hands-on experience with treasury, debt/leasing, and equipment or fleet financing

Nice to have (not essential):

• Direct experience leading or playing a key role in a US IPO or public-company readiness process
• Background in construction tech, construction equipment, or other capital-equipment businesses
• Korean language proficiency, to support communication with the global HQ team

Compensation & Setup

• Performance-based incentives
• Flexible work environment

Why It’s Worth a Look

• Join a fast-growing company helping modernize one of the world's largest industries through construction automation and intelligent equipment technology
• Be part of a growing US operation, with your work directly shaping the development, coordination, and scaling of field operations and internal processes
• Work alongside cross-functional teams across operations, field support, product, and leadership in a highly collaborative environment
