Corporate Controller - Public Medical Device Company, Manufacturing Scale-Up (Hybrid)

Ready to architect the financial future of a medical device company at a pivotal growth stage? This is a rare opportunity to build financial infrastructure from the ground up while a new manufacturing facility comes online.

Our client is a publicly traded medical device company with approximately 30 employees, headquartered in the greater Washington D.C. area. Following a recent successful asset sale to a Fortune 500 acquirer that validated their technology platform, they are now fully funded to scale up manufacturing and bring their next breakthrough product to market. This is a company with zero debt, proven commercial products generating revenue, and a clear 2–3 year timeline to their next major launch. The culture is fast-paced, collaborative, and mission-driven.

As Corporate Controller, you will partner with the VP of Finance to build the accounting infrastructure required to support high-volume manufacturing and commercial growth while maintaining rigorous public company standards. You will own the Book of Record and serve as the backbone of financial integrity during a transformational period.
