Job Description
Who we are
The real world is the next frontier, and at Metropolis, we are creating the artificial intelligence to make it responsive. We are pioneering the Recognition Economy — a future where mundane repetition disappears and being known unlocks access, comfort and belonging everywhere you go.

The future isn’t coming; it’s here, and we need builders, innovators and problem solvers to help us create it.
Who you are
Metropolis is seeking a Controller to play a key leadership role in the execution of corporate accounting operations. The Controller is the enterprise-level architect of the accounting function — owning strategy, governance, and transformation. They set the vision, establish world-class standards, and directly shape the company’s IPO and public-company readiness.
What you'll do
- Own all corporate controllership functions including revenue accounting, consolidations, AR/AP, and compliance
- Build SEC/SOX-ready processes, lead audits, and establish scalable internal controls
- Redesign the financial close (manual-to-automated), deploy new ERP/TMS/AI-enabled solutions, and integrate acquisitions
- Deliver insights to ELT/Board; partner with FP&A on forward-looking analysis; support M&A due diligence and post-merger integration
- Hire and develop senior leaders across accounting, setting up a durable organizational model
What we're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA required
- 15+ years progressive accounting/controllership experience, with 5+ at senior leadership
- Strong technical accounting knowledge (GAAP/IFRS) and consolidation experience
- Proven track record of leading large-scale transformation (systems, processes, talent)
- Deep experience in IPO/public company processes, SOX, and SEC reporting
- Hands-on leader who has built close-to-reporting processes in complex environments
- Comfortable with ambiguity and building from ground up
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work across cultures and geographies
While not required, these are a plus:
- Master’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
- High-growth, complex, multi-entity operating experience (SaaS, marketplaces, payments, or real estate)
When you join Metropolis, you’ll join a team of world-class product leaders and engineers, building an ecosystem of technologies at the intersection of parking, mobility, and real estate. Our goal is to build an inclusive culture where everyone has a voice and the best idea wins. You will play a key role in building and maintaining this culture as our organization grows. The anticipated base salary for this position is $275,000.00 USD to $290,000.00 USD annually. The actual base salary offered is determined by a number of variables, including, as appropriate, the applicant's qualifications for the position, years of relevant experience, distinctive skills, level of education attained, certifications or other professional licenses held, and the location of residence and/or place of employment. Base salary is one component of Metropolis’s total compensation package, which may also include access to or eligibility for healthcare benefits, a 401(k) plan, short-term and long-term disability coverage, basic life insurance, a lucrative stock option plan, bonus plans and more. #LI-WT1 #LI-Onsite
Metropolis values in-person collaboration to drive innovation, strengthen culture, and enhance the Member experience. Our corporate team members hold to our office-first model, which requires employees to be on-site at least four days a week, fostering organic interactions that spark creativity and connection
