About Humanoid
Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND-01 Alpha - our rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.
About the Role
We're hiring a Global Controller to join our Finance team, based in London. In this role, you'll own accounting, controllership, and financial reporting across Humanoid's global entities.
What You'll Do
Global Controllership & Entity Management
- Own global controllership: Own accounting and controllership across Humanoid's global entities — US, UK, Canada, Germany, and other jurisdictions as needed — including local statutory compliance.
- Manage entity setup: Manage the setup, accounting, and ongoing operation of new entities as the group expands into additional markets.
- Ensure accurate books: Ensure accurate, timely, and complete books and records across all entities, with robust controls and clear ownership.
Intercompany & Transfer Pricing
- Build the intercompany framework: Set up and operate the intercompany framework — agreements, charges, settlements, and reconciliations across the group.
- Lead transfer pricing: Design and implement transfer-pricing policies and documentation in partnership with the tax team, and ensure they are correctly reflected in the accounts.
- Manage eliminations: Manage intercompany eliminations and ensure consistency across entity and group reporting.

Consolidation & Financial Reporting
- Own consolidation: Own the consolidation of entity reporting into accurate group financial statements on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis.
- Lead the close: Lead the global month-end and year-end close, driving speed, accuracy, and continuous improvement in the process.
- Prepare financial statements: Prepare group and entity financial statements under IFRS / GAAP, and manage external audits end to end.
- Deliver trusted reporting: Deliver reporting and analysis that the CFO, leadership, and Board can rely on.
Systems, Controls & Automation
- Own SAP: Own and optimise the SAP environment for accounting and consolidation, ensuring it scales with the business.
- Leverage AI tools: Leverage AI tools to automate close, reconciliation, and reporting processes, improving efficiency and accuracy.
- Build controls: Design and maintain a strong internal-control environment and accounting policies, building toward audit- and IPO-readiness.
- Build the team: Build and lead a high-performing global accounting team as the function grows.
What We're Looking For
- CPA or CA qualification is required.
- Extensive controllership / accounting experience, including managing accounting across multiple international entities and currencies.
- Proven experience setting up intercompany and transfer-pricing frameworks and consolidating multi-entity reporting.
- Strong technical accounting knowledge under IFRS and/or US GAAP, and experience managing external audits.
- Hands-on experience with SAP for accounting and consolidation.
- Experience using AI tools to streamline accounting, close, and reporting processes.
- Experience across both startups and public companies, with the range to operate at startup pace and to public-company standards.
- Direct experience scaling a company through to IPO, building the accounting function and controls required for a public listing.
- A builder's mindset — able to stand up processes, controls, and systems in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.
- Experience with the specific jurisdictions in scope — US, UK, Canada, and Germany.
- Experience in a venture-backed, high-growth startup or scale-up, ideally in hardware, robotics, deep tech, or manufacturing.
- Familiarity with SOX-style control environments and public-company reporting cadence.
