  • Develop and maintain control checklists and flags to detect reporting or policy deviations.
  • Coordinate automation of financial control procedures and standard reporting routines with internal teams.
  • Review new financial processes and participate in improvement initiatives to enhance control and compliance.
  • Liaise with external and internal auditors, prepare audit support documentation and respond to audit requests.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (Product, Marketing, HR, BizOps, Legal) on financial flows, contract terms, and cost control.

You’ll need:

  • Higher education in Finance, Accounting, or Economics.
  • At least 5 years of experience in financial control, internal audit, or corporate finance roles (experience in SaaS or tech companies is a plus).

  • Upper-intermediate English or higher (for regular interaction with international teams and auditors).

  • Knowledge of SaaS business models and subscription-based revenue structures.
  • Experience in implementing or improving financial policies and documentation workflows.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
