About the position:

We're seeking a detail-oriented Senior Accoutant - Finance Operations to serve as the operational backbone of our finance team.

You'll be the go-to person keeping our financial operations running smoothly during an exciting growth phase that includes a recent acquisition, our first audit and evolving investor reporting requirements.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
