Job description

Overview

Metropolis is an artificial intelligence company that uses computer vision technology to enable frictionless, checkout-free experiences. We reimagine parking to allow millions to drive in and drive out, delivering speed, ease and convenience in everyday life. We are building an ecosystem at the intersection of parking, mobility and real estate, with a culture that values inclusion and collaboration.

Who you are

Metropolis is seeking a Controller to play a key leadership role in the execution of corporate accounting operations. The Controller is the enterprise-level architect of the accounting function — owning strategy, governance and transformation. They set the vision, establish world-class standards, and directly shape the company’s IPO and public-company readiness.

What you’ll do

  • Enterprise Leadership : Own all corporate controllership functions including revenue accounting, consolidations, client reporting, AR / AP, and compliance.
  • IPO Readiness & Governance : Build SEC / SOX-ready processes, lead audits, and establish scalable internal controls.
  • Transformation : Redesign the financial close (manual-to-automated), deploy new ERP / TMS / AI-enabled solutions, and integrate acquisitions.
  • Strategic Partnering : Deliver insights to ELT / Board; partner with FP&A on forward-looking analysis; support M&A due diligence and post-merger integration.
  • Team Building : Hire and develop senior leaders across accounting, setting up a durable organizational model.

What we’re looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA required.
  • 15+ years progressive accounting / controllership experience, with 5+ at senior leadership.
  • Strong technical accounting knowledge (GAAP / IFRS) and consolidation experience.
  • Proven track record of leading large-scale transformation (systems, processes, talent).
  • Deep experience in IPO / public company processes, SOX, and SEC reporting.
  • Hands-on leader who has built close-to-reporting processes in complex environments.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and building from ground up.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work across cultures and geographies.
  • Nice to have

  • High-growth, complex, multi-entity operating experience (SaaS, marketplaces, payments, or real estate).
  • When you join Metropolis, you’ll be part of a team building an ecosystem at the intersection of parking, mobility and real estate. We strive for an inclusive culture where every voice is heard and the best idea wins as we grow.

    Compensation and benefits

    The anticipated base salary for this position is $275,000.00 USD to $290,000.00 USD annually. The actual base salary is determined by qualifications, experience, skills, education, certifications, and location. Base salary is one component of Metropolis’s total compensation package, which may include healthcare benefits, a 401(k) plan, disability coverage, life insurance, stock options, bonuses and more.

We make all hiring decisions based on merit, qualifications and business needs, without regard to race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, or pregnancy), national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic under federal, state, or local law.
