• Internal control & audit:
• Design and operate WEKA’s internal control environment and segregation-of-duties framework, manage the external audit relationship, and build the controls foundation the company needs as its reporting requirements grow
• Leadership:
• Build, develop, and lead a globally distributed accounting and finance operations team, structured so that responsibility for building and operating processes is appropriately separated from responsibility for assuring them

This is a role for a controllership-heavy leader who is equally comfortable operating — someone who can set technical accounting positions with authority and build the systems, processes, and team that deliver reliable numbers at scale

Deep technical accounting expertise, including ASC 606 revenue recognition for subscription and/or consumption models. CPA (or international equivalent) strongly preferred; MBA a plusA track record of building or materially improving a quote-to-cash cycle and/or leading an ERP or billing systems implementation — not only overseeing its accounting outputs

Excellent communication and cross-functional partnership skills, sound judgment, and the highest standards of integrity

Public-company experience required — including SEC reporting, SOX compliance, and the rigor of a public-company close and control environment (IPO-readiness or pre-IPO scaling experience strongly preferred)
