Global Controller

Global Controller

Operations & Finance | Remote (Uruguay) | Full time

At SunnyData, a leading Databricks technology partner, our mission is to empower customers with scalable architectures, robust data engineering pipelines, seamless data consumption layers, and advanced ML and AI applications.

As a Global Controller, you will own the accounting backbone of a fast-scaling, multi-entity, multi-country services business and turn it into a function that can carry the company through its next stage of growth.

This is the first dedicated Controller role at SunnyData, reporting to the VP of Operations and Finance and partnering closely with executive leadership. It is a builder’s seat, not a caretaker’s. You will own the global close, consolidation across our US parent and international subsidiaries, and the internal controls that keep a multi-currency, intercompany business clean and audit-ready.

Success looks like a faster, tighter close, consolidated financials you can stand behind, transfer pricing and intercompany flows that hold up under scrutiny, and a finance function that gives leadership real-time visibility instead of month-old answers.

The Impact You Will Have

Global Close & Consolidation: Own the end-to-end monthly close across the US parent and international subsidiaries (Uruguay, Argentina, Mexico, and Nepal), including consolidation, intercompany eliminations, and multi-currency revaluation.

Internal Controls

Design and operate scalable controls across the sales-to-cash and procure-to-pay cycles, balancing rigor with the agility a high-growth company needs.

Intercompany & Transfer Pricing

Maintain intercompany billing, financing, and cost-allocation flows in line with our transfer pricing framework, partnering with external advisors across jurisdictions.

Financial Planning & Forecasting

Lead long-term business planning, annual budgeting, and rolling forecasts in alignment with corporate goals.
