What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Accountant position at Osmo?
Who We Are At Osmo
Osmo is a digital olfaction company, on a mission to give computers a sense of smell to improve the health and wellbeing of human life. Why? Our sense of smell both enriches and saves lives, and has a deep and direct connection to our emotions and memory. This foundational understanding of smell's impact has directly informed the development of our latest innovation: Generation.
Generation is a new kind of fragrance house powered by Olfactory Intelligence (OI) to blend AI with world-class perfumery. It will help brands create emotionally resonant scents faster, more accessibly, and with greater creative clarity. Our technology allows us to explore vast scent possibilities, discover novel ingredients, and design fragrances informed by both data and artistry.
Beyond fragrance, Olfactory Intelligence has applications across industries including manufacturing, security, medicine, and more. We believe in the power of automation and thoughtfully applied AI/ML to solve problems beyond the reach of human intuition alone. Osmo is headquartered in New York, NY, with a new facility in New Jersey, and offices in Somerville, MA.
Osmo is seeking a Senior Accountant with strong manufacturing and cost accounting experience to join our Finance & Operations team. This role will be critical in ensuring accurate financial reporting, strengthening ERP processes, and partnering closely with operations in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. You’ll report to the Director of Finance & Operations and play a hands-on role in scaling the company’s financial foundation as we grow.
