We're looking for a Project Manager & Financial Controller to lead Atomic's highest-priority cross-functional projects, starting with our expansion into Europe, and help ensure the integrity of Atomic's books and financial operations across a growing number of entities and product lines. You'll report directly to the CFO, and to the Financial and Operations Principal (Fin Op) on broker-dealer work, and coordinate with leadership across finance, compliance, legal, and operations.

As our first project manager, you'll build the project management function from the ground up, managing company-wide projects while building finance processes in some areas and strengthening them in others. In your first year, you'll also back up treasury, support risk and controls work, and support tax reporting as we quickly ramp up and build out processes and teams covering those areas.

Atomic is a remote-first company, and this role is fully remote; however, candidates must be based in the US or LATAM in the Americas Timezone (GMT-4 to GMT-8).

• Propose, design, and implement projects to shorten and improve the month-end close process, using Net Suite and other systems. Move work into pre-close activities throughout the month, and leverage automated functionality available within existing systems, to immediately shorten the close.
• Enhance and develop consolidated accounting policies and controls appropriate for a fintech environment, across existing and new products and entities.
• Prepare the company for a consolidated audit in 12–24 months.
• Back up the CFO on treasury: cash positioning, payment approvals, bank relationships, and the cash runway forecast.
• Partner with key stakeholders across finance, compliance, legal, operations, and engineering leadership.

• 3–5 years of project management experience leading cross-functional projects, with a track record of delivering complex initiatives on scope and on time
• Experience managing regulatory, licensing, or market expansion projects in financial services
• Proficiency with project management tools (e.g., Jira, Asana,  ,…
