## Job description

🌀 The Company Founded in 2022, Filigran is a global cybersecurity company on a mission to empower defense teams to be proactive through open-source solutions that uncover threats and drive action. Filigran stands out in the cybersecurity ecosystem through its open-source, AI-powered and threat-informed approach to Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM). Our eXtended Threat Management (XTM) platform brings together threat intelligence, exposure validation and cyber risk reduction, enabling organizations to better understand their threat landscape and take action. At the heart of Filigran is our open-source approach. Our vision is to unite defenders into a global community to make security more open, resilient and collaborative. As Filigran continues to scale globally, we are building the organization, infrastructure and capabilities needed for our next stage of growth. How we scale matters just as much as how fast we scale: our CORE values: Cohesion, Openness, Responsibility and Equity shape how we work together, make decisions and build for the future.

🎯 The Role

As Head of Financial Controller, you will own the full accounting function across Filigran's entities, including revenue recognition, consolidation, monthly and year-end close, and internal controls. You will act as the finance function's technical backbone building the infrastructure, controls, and processes needed to support a fast-scaling, multi-entity, international organization. You will report directly to the VP of Finance. The team is small so this role demands both strategic ownership and significant hands-on execution.

💼 Your Responsibilities

General Accounting Operations

- Own the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of all financial transactions across Filigran entities
- Continuously improve a scalable monthly/quarterly close process
- Ensure revenue recognition is correctly applied and documented

Multi-Entity Oversight

- Lead consolidation across Filigran's growing international entity structure (including new entity set-ups as the company expands)
- Partner with the VP of Finance on transfer pricing, inter company transactions, and cross-border compliance matters

Controls, Risk & Governance

- Perform ongoing gap analyses of accounting processes and proactively design and implement internal controls and policies
- Manage the yearly financial audit end-to-end, acting as the primary point of contact for auditors
- Own the relationship with the external accounting firm, holding them to a high standard of accuracy and responsiveness

Systems & Scalability

- Identify opportunities to automate and streamline accounting workflows
- Build documentation that make the accounting function auditable and transferable

Leadership & Cross-Functional Support

- Act as a thought partner to the VP of Finance on technical accounting matters and process design
- Manage a current team of 3 general accountants.
- Grow the team to help support scalability and growth.
- Support ad hoc business requests, including finance topics adjacent to accounting (e.g., payroll coordination)

🔎 Preferred Experience

- 10+ years in accounting roles, including senior/lead or controller-level experience
- Strong knowledge of French accounting standards; exposure to multi-GAAP/consolidation environments is a strong plus
- Proven ability to build processes and internal controls from scratch in a fast-growing or scaling environment
- Comfortable operating with high autonomy and ambiguity; adapts quickly to change
- Prior people management experience
