# Controller and Finance Lead

About the Company We're partnering with an early-stage space and maritime company building the first purpose-built offshore rocket launch platform. Launching from the sea offers advantages in cost, resilience and access to orbit, but no one has designed a solution around today's rockets. This team is changing that. The company has signed its first full-scale build agreement for a 200-ft offshore launch platform that goes on the water next year, with long-term revenue and plans for a fleet over the next five years. It is a small team, mostly engineering and operations, and it has commercialized faster than most startups. The Opportunity You will be the company's first full-time finance hire and report directly to the Co-Founder & CEO. You'll start hands-on with the transactions and operations of the first build, take full ownership of accounting and finance, and grow into the company's senior finance leader as it scales toward Series B/C and beyond. What You'll Do Run AP/AR for large, low-volume transactions during the first build Own the month-end close and manage the outsourced bookkeeper Own cash flow management, budgeting and budget-vs-actuals Build the reporting package for lea
