Assistant Controller

As Assistant Controller, you will play a critical role in driving the transformation of Grindr's accounting function, and serve as the leader who makes our monthly close run like clockwork. Reporting to the Controller, you will own key financial processes, and partner every day with FP&A, business leaders, legal, and IT. This is a role to build, not just maintain: you will shape how a lean public-company finance team works, bring in best-in-class practices, and use Oracle Fusion, automation and AI to turn manual work into insight. This is a hybrid role based in our New York office and will require you to be in person Tuesdays and Thursdays. About the Job: • Lead the monthly close from start to finish: set the calendar, drive the deliverables, keep stakeholders in the loop, and deliver clean, on-time results every month. • Own and drive the transformation of our AP, Oracle and monthly reporting, moving easily between hands-on execution and the bigger-picture roadmap, with AI and automation as core tools. • Partner with the Controller to set the team's vision and priorities, and coach and grow the accountants on your team. • Be the go-to finance partner for FP&A, budget owners, legal and IT: the person who makes the numbers clear and makes good controls easy to follow. Role Requirements: • Deep public-company experience, including 10-Q and 10-K support and work with external auditors. • Strong knowledge of internal control frameworks and SOX methodology, with a record of designing and operating controls that pass audit. • A strong foundation in US GAAP and a sharp eye for risk: you know where the judgment calls are and how to assess them. • Proven leadership: you have built, led and developed a team of accountants, and people want to work for you. • CPA. • You use AI tools every day, and you are curious about what they can do next. You May Thrive in this Role if You: • Have driven an accounting transformation, from a new process or system to a big change in how the team works. • Have owned the month-end close for a public company from start to finish. • Have worked in a best-in-class accounting function, and know what great looks like. • Have hands-on experience with Oracle Fusion, Zip and accounts payable. Benefits and Perks: • Health, Dental & Vision Full premium coverage for you. Partial coverage for dependents. • Family Formation Up to $300,000 in fertility and family-building support, covering IVF, surrogacy, egg freezing, and adoption. • Retirement: 401(k) with 6% match and immediate vesting. • Compensation: Industry-competitive compensation, company bonus, and equity for every employee. • Gender-Affirming Care : Industry-leading gender-affirming offerings with up to 90% cost coverage, access to Included Health, monthly stipends for HRT, and more. • Time Off & Rest Flexible vacation policy.
