Description

ReOrbit is redefining how satellites are built, launched, and operated. We design and deliver intelligent, software-defined satellites that bring unprecedented flexibility and performance to customers worldwide. Our growth is accelerating as we secure new customers, scale production, and deepen our technological edge in the fast-moving space industry.
We are now seeking an experienced Senior Financial Controller to take full ownership of the company’s day-to-day finance, accounting, treasury, and compliance — freeing up our CFO to focus on strategy, investors, and growth. This is a high-impact role in a fast-growing deep-tech scale-up, offering strong exposure to leadership and potential for expanded responsibilities over time.

The Senior Financial Controller will be the end-to-end owner of ReOrbit’s finance function, supported by:

  • One internal finance associate handling operational/transactional work.
  • Our outsourced finance/accounting provider (e.g., GreenStep) for bookkeeping, payroll, and compliance execution.

You will be responsible for ensuring accuracy, compliance, and insight across all financial processes, preparing investor-ready reporting, and managing treasury and banking relationships.
It’s an exciting chance to join a dynamic start-up, with the opportunity to make a real impact, to reach our goal of pushing the boundaries of space data transfer.

    • Lead annual audit preparation and coordination with external auditors.
    • Manage grant reporting and compliance for public funding.
    • Budgeting, Forecasting & Analysis
    • Lead the budgeting and forecasting process, working closely with the CFO and business leaders.

    • Process & Controls
    • Strengthen internal controls and ensure finance processes are scalable for growth.
    • Drive process automation and efficiency improvements in finance operations.

    • 8–12 years of progressive finance experience, ideally combining accounting and FP&A in a start-up, scale-up, or high-growth SME.
