Description
At Eudia, we move fast. Unlike traditional enterprise software companies, our teams ship solutions in days, not months—delivering real impact for some of the world’s largest companies, including Cargill, Coherent, DHL, and Duracell. We’re solving one of the most complex, unsolved challenges in AI: bringing trust, accuracy, and security to legal automation.
We’re a team of builders, operators, and problem-solvers who are passionate about reshaping an industry that has long been resistant to change. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll be challenged, take ownership from day one, and work alongside some of the brightest minds in AI and legal—we’d love to meet you.
The role
Eudia is hiring a Controller to own the accounting function and build it for scale. You will run the close, the audit and the controls for our entire business. You will also consolidate and sign off on financials for our international entities and multiple business units.
This is a player-coach role. You will lead and develop the accounting team while staying hands-on in the work. You will be a collaborative and supportive teammate to the rest of the business. You will build the policies, controls and systems that carry Eudia from Series A and beyond.
