Head of Controllership

We’re hiring a Controller to build the next layer of Fleek’s finance function. This is a senior individual contributor role sitting within Finance, focused on creating a scalable controllership foundation in a business that has grown fast and now needs stronger process, rhythm, and control. You’ll work closely with leadership and cross-functional teams to design how accounting should operate as Fleek scales.

At Fleek, you’ll be doing something much more interesting: building controllership in a company where the business has real scale and complexity, but parts of the accounting operating model still need to be designed from the ground up. In practice, that means you won’t just maintain processes, you’ll challenge them, rebuild them and create the operating cadence the company grows into.

This role is especially compelling for someone who has seen what “good” looks like in a larger or more mature environment, but also knows how to operate in the messiness of an early-stage company. Some systems already exist here. Some may need to be rethought entirely. The opportunity is to bring judgment, structure, and momentum to help establish the finance discipline that underpins the next phase of Fleek’s growth.

What Makes You a Fleek Controller?

• Builder Mentality: You don’t just inherit processes, you redesign them when they’re not fit for purpose. You’re excited by the idea of creating a controllership function, not just running one.
• Comfortable with Ambiguity: You know how to operate when the company isn’t at zero-to-one, but the finance function partly is. Existing processes don’t intimidate you, even when they need to be torn down and rebuilt.
• High Agency: You don’t wait for perfect alignment or clean inputs. You can drive an agenda, create momentum and push important operational changes through the organisation.
• Influence Through Credibility: You can create buy-in outside finance, whether that’s around month-end discipline, information flows or better controls. People trust your judgment because it’s practical and grounded.
• Scale-Informed: You’ve seen systems and accounting environments at scale, and you know how to apply that pattern recognition without becoming rigid or over-engineered.

What You'll Do:

• Build the Controllership Foundation: Design and establish the accounting processes, controls, and operating rhythm Fleek needs for its next phase of scale.
• Redesign What Doesn’t Work: Assess existing systems and workflows, identify where they break down, and rebuild them where needed rather than patching around weak foundations.
• Own the Month-End Operating Cadence: Create a cleaner month-end close rhythm across finance and partner.
