The KILLSTAR brand-universe is an invitation for people to explore, discover, and become who they are. We help affirm this invitation by creating an inclusive, supportive environment where our team members are embraced exactly as they are.
As Financial Controller, you will be a key member of the finance team, working closely with the CFO to lead and manage all aspects of financial operations, controls, and reporting. You’ll be expected to get deep into the detail—rolling up your sleeves to own the numbers, while also helping drive strategic decision-making through robust financial insight.
This is a high-impact, hands-on role ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-growth environment, enjoys building processes from the ground up, and can balance precision with commercial awareness.
If this sounds like the opportunity for you — we would love to hear from you!
