Job Description
Our client is a cybersecurity company built to help organizations reduce exploitable risk--fast, measurably, and defensibly. They combine a disciplined operating model for risk reduction with a platform-led approach that turns exposures and detections into prioritized remediation plans, validated outcomes, and executive-ready reporting.
Their methodology centers on Exposure-Driven Security Operations wherein they identify what is truly exploitable, drive decisions on what matters most, and orchestrate the work required to reduce risk quarter over quarter. They operationalize this through a repeatable cadence--weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual--using EOS-style execution rhythms to ensure risk reduction is not a one-time project, but an ongoing program.
Their services are delivered as Managed Preemptive Detection & Response (MPDR) and structured risk reduction programs that connect security operations to the business outcomes leaders care about. Outcome is fewer critical exposures, faster decision cycles, and clear accountability. They partner directly with customer IT and security teams to plan remediation, guide execution without being the change implementer, and validate results so every quarter shows tangible progress, not noise.
They operate as a distributed company with teams in the United States, Mexico, and the Philippines, enabling always-on delivery and scalable operations. Their reporting and governance model is designed for executive stakeholders supporting CIO and CISO decision-making, and producing board-, lender-, and investor-grade narratives tied to measurable reduction in exposure and risk.
The Company Controller owns the integrity of the company’s financials and controllership function while leading the finance workstream for their Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance transition. This role ensures a fast and accurate close; strong internal controls; audit-ready reporting; and an operating cadence that scales across a multi-country footprint (U.S., Mexico, Philippines). The Controller will also produce and present executive-level reporting for the Board, debt providers, and investors and build financial models that support planning, decisions, and capital strategy.
EXPECTATIONS
Close is predictable, on time, and defensible with clean reconciliations and minimal post-close adjustments. Financial statements and KPIs are Board-ready with clear narratives on performance, drivers, and risk. Controls, approvals, and segregation of duties are defined and enforced, especially within Dynamics 365. Dynamics 365 Finance is implemented with clean data, usable dimensions, strong workflows, and high adoption. Cash forecasting, scenario planning, and financial modeling inform executive decision-making.
