Controller

Simbe Robotics is a leading retail robotics company providing in-store intelligence solutions that help retailers optimize operations, improve shelf execution, and deliver valuable data insights.

Our autonomous robots and multi-modal data collection systems are transforming how retailers manage inventory and make data-driven decisions.

Simbe is hiring its first Controller to build out the accounting function as the company scales.

This is a hands-on role from day one — you'll get up to speed quickly on the business and how accounting operates today, including our existing outside accounting relationships, and start finding quick wins and areas to help right away.

From there, you'll build the systems, processes, and controls that carry Simbe through its next phase of growth — enterprise scale-up, recurring annual audits, and early international expansion.

This is a builder's role: you'll design and stand up processes rather than inherit a mature function.

You will work closely with the finance team to shape how Simbe's accounting operations scale from here, rolling up your sleeves early and taking on increasing ownership as the function matures.

• Oversee the Close — Take oversight of the monthly close, starting hands-on with today's process and evolving it toward a 5–7 day close as ownership and systems mature.
• Oversee Reconciliations & Technical Accounting — Provide oversight of reconciliations and technical accounting, and serve as the primary point of contact for the external audit — PBC list, workpapers, and the auditor relationship.
• Build proper controls — for a company of Simbe's size and maturity.
• Partner with FP&A — Work with the Finance Director and FP&A tooling (Planful) to support the forecasting build and keep it moving.
• Oversee AR/Collections — Provide oversight of AR/collections performance, partnering with the finance data analyst to keep invoicing, cash application, and the collections cycle pacing with enterprise rollout volume.
• Manage Outside Tax & Audit Relationships — Own the ongoing relationship with tax and audit service providers, including managing any transitions as the company scales.
• Support Lender Reporting — Own reporting and covenant compliance on the company's existing debt facility.
