Assistant Controller

Harver delivers a suite of automated solutions that optimize talent decisions for some of the world's leading organizations. Rooted in over 40 years of science and rich data insights backed by industrial-organizational and cognitive science, we enable organizations to engage, hire, and grow the right talent in a fast and fundamentally unbiased way.

Putting the right person in the right role is life-changing — for the individual and for the organization. That's not a tagline. It's the reason we come to work. We've applied 35 years of assessment science to one of the hardest problems in business, helping thousands of organizations hire with more confidence and less guesswork. Now we're entering our most exciting chapter yet — new products, a sharpened focus, and a market that genuinely needs what we've built.

The people here are something else. Smart, authentic, genuinely invested in the work and in each other. This isn't a place where you coast — you'll be pushed and expected to deliver. But you'll do it alongside people who care, led by a vision that's worth working hard for.

If that sounds like your kind of place, we'd love to meet you.

We are seeking a hands-on Assistant Corporate Controller to lead our global accounting operations in a fast-growing, private equity-backed SaaS company. This is a role for someone who thrives in a startup-style environment — you won't have a large team above you to catch things, and you'll be expected to roll up your sleeves alongside a lean team that includes offshore accounting support. The ideal candidate is a CPA with deep technical accounting chops, strong SaaS experience, comfort in multi-entity global environments, and a genuine appetite for leveraging technology and AI to drive efficiency. This is not a role for someone who just manages the work — it's for someone who does it, improves it, and helps us scale.

If you're passionate about working in a dynamic, fast-growing company — with cutting edge technology, smart colleagues, and opportunities for development — come grow with us!
