Global Controller
About this role
Bedrock Robotics is hiring a Global Controller, full-time, on-site in San Francisco, CA, in the INDUSTRIAL sector.
Join the team bringing advanced autonomy to the built world
At Bedrock, we're moving AI out of the lab and into the real world. Our team includes veterans who helped launch Waymo, scaled Segment to a $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue. Today, we're deploying autonomous systems on heavy construction equipment across the country, improving safety on job sites and accelerating schedules on critical infrastructure projects.
We're not here debating the future of AI. We're deploying it in the real world. In just two years, we've raised $350M and achieved the first fully autonomous excavator deployments in construction.
This is where algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You'll work alongside construction veterans and world-class engineers to solve physical-world problems that simulations can't touch. If you're ready to do meaningful work on hard problems, we'd love to have you join us.
The Role:
We're growing fast and expanding product and revenue lines. We’re looking for a hands-on
yet strategic Global Controller to lead our accounting function, support financial infrastructure at scale, and serve as a key partner to our Executive Leadership Team as we move toward investor-grade financial operations.
What You'll Do:
Own and Scale Core Accounting
Lead all accounting operations: GL, revenue recognition, AP/AR, payroll, consolidations, and equity accounting.
Drive timely and accurate monthly closes and prepare internal and external financial statements under US GAAP.
Oversee complex accounting streams, including interchange, deposit interest, SaaS fees, and lending.
Design and maintain internal controls for external audits and eventual SOX compliance.
Build Scalable Infrastructure
Own and improve our accounting systems; manage third-party integrations
Partner with Product and Engineering to automate financial workflows — including revenue data pipelines, ledger mapping, and reconciliations.
Ensure audit-traceable processes for high-volume, tech-driven financial data.
Optimize Bedrock’s procure to pay systems; including the implementation of new purchasing software
Finance Business Partnering
Work closely with FP&A to align financial reporting with operating metrics and forecasts.
Support board and investor reporting — including gross margin tracking, cost structure analysis, and scenario planning.
Lead technical accounting memos for complex arrangements, such as embedded finance, multi-entity structures, or vendor contracts.
Compliance and Audit
Lead external audits and coordinate with tax, legal, and compliance teams on filings and regulatory requirements.
Prepare for future SOX and public company standards (as applicable).
Stay current on evolving regulation and accounting treatments (e.g., ASC 606, Fair value etc.).
What You'll Bring:
+15 years of accounting/finance experience, including:
Public accounting background (Big 4 strongly preferred)
Leadership in a high-growth company, ideally Series B-D stage
Strong familiarity with product-linked revenue (interchange, lending, deposits, fees)
CPA required; deep knowledge of US GAAP
Proven success building accounting teams, processes, and systems in a scale-up environment
Ability to collaborate cross-functionally and influence senior stakeholders
Systems-oriented: experience with ERP, Business Intelligence (BI), Procure to Pay (P2P), Stripe, Mercury, or similar tools
Comfort navigating uncertainty in fast-moving product-led environments
Experience in robotics, vehicle, hardware or industrial automation is a plus
Experience in accounting within the construction space is also a plus
We want our hiring process to be accessible to everyone. If you need an accommodation to participate in the application or interview process, please let your recruiter know so we can support you.
