Corporate Controller

Overview

Vivani Medical (NASDAQ : VANI) is a publicly traded biopharmaceutical and medical technology company developing a highly differentiated and innovative drug delivery platform. We are preparing to scale our financial infrastructure to support growth and to continue improving our controls and compliance.

We are seeking a transformational, build-stage Corporate Controller who will play a hands-on and highly visible role in building out Vivani’s accounting foundation for our next stage of growth. This role combines traditional Controller responsibilities – closing the books, ensuring SEC and SOX compliance, etc. – with the opportunity to take ownership of the role and function by modernizing systems, automating manual processes, and designing and implementing a scalable control environment.

The ideal candidate brings both technical accounting depth and change management experience, thrives in a dynamic and lean growth-stage environment, and takes pride and satisfaction in hands-on problem solving to shape a foundation that supports both operational excellence today and strategic growth in the years ahead.

This position reports directly to the CFO and will manage internal and external accounting resources.

Responsibilities

• Direct and coordinate the monthly, quarterly and annual financial closing process, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with U.S. GAAP and SEC requirements
• Prepare and file financial SEC reports (e.g. 10-Ks, 10-Qs, Section 16 filings) and ensure timely coordination with auditors and legal counsel
• Maintain and improve internal controls to support SOX 404(a) compliance; coordinate documentation, testing, and remediation; prepare for transition to SOX 404(b) when appropriate
• Own and continuously improve the company’s accounting policies, procedures, and systems to increase automation and efficiency – including new system implementations, as appropriate
• Manage external audit and auditor review processes and relationships with auditors, tax advisors, and accounting consultants
• Provide technical accounting guidance for complex or non-routine transactions (equity awards, leases, collaborations, R&D accruals, etc.)
• Prepare materials and financial analyses for Audit Committee and Board meetings
• Support FP&A, budget and BvA activities
• Build relationships across the company with peers and functional leaders
• Other duties as assigned
