Controller

Few people get to build a bank from scratch. Even fewer get to build one at a moment when banking itself is being reinvented. The dollar is the best product in the history of the world, with practically infinite global demand, but distribution is broken.

You co-lead the finance systems implementation - GL, subledgers, close tooling, reconciliation infrastructure - and design the internal control environment from the ground up. You coordinate internal and external audits, partner with Risk and Compliance on model governance, and work directly with Product and Engineering on how new launches hit the books. You govern AI-enabled workflows in finance - anomaly detection, reconciliation support, policy drafting - which almost nobody in banking has had to do yet. YOUR FIRST SIX MONTHS - Months 1-2: GL entries are live and source system connections are in place. You've mapped the
