About the Job:

We're Sendlane, an established SaaS provider disrupting the eCommerce industry by unifying the marketing tech stack for DTC brands with a unified approach to email, SMS, and reviews. If you're reading this, you're at least considering ditching your current gig and leveling up. Look no further, compadre. We have got a challenge for you.

The search is on for our next Controller (Remote position, but preference for candidates local Austin, TX or willing to relocate)

The position will report directly to the VP of Finance and collaborate closely with senior leadership, along with a number of external stakeholders, including auditors, tax consultants, and private equity partners. The Controller will play a key role in overseeing all accounting functions, ensuring tax compliance, and implementing robust internal controls and policies. Additionally, this role will be crucial in guiding our financial planning and analysis, as well as in managing strategic goals.

But before we get too much more into the job itself, let’s talk about you!

You have an eye for detail that misses nothing, paired with unmatched organizational skills, ensuring everything is kept in perfect order. You have B2B SaaS experience. You're the kind who takes pride (and ownership) in their work, driven by a commitment to excellence. You are truly passionate about accounting and finance and can nerd out about ASC 606, pivot tables, or the art of cash forecasting. Lastly, you like being hands-on but will be able to scale into a managerial role as we build out the finance team over the next few years.

So far, so good?
