Job description

Unite America seeks a full-time Controller. Reporting to the Sr. Director of Finance & Strategy and serving as a key member of the Strategy & Operations team, the Controller will lead accounting operations across a portfolio of affiliated entities. This role owns the accuracy, timeliness, and integrity of financial reporting-including close, controls, and cash management-ensuring leadership has clear, decision-ready financial information.
This is a hands-on role in a lean, multi-entity environment, with direct responsibility for executing core accounting processes. Over time, the Controller will build and scale the function, strengthening infrastructure, systems, and team capacity as the organization grows.
The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise in GAAP and multi-entity financial management, paired with the ability to translate complex financial data into clear, decision-ready insights on financial performance, variances, and risk. They proactively identify issues, implement practical solutions, and continuously improve processes and controls. This person is a strong communicator who can partner across teams, align stakeholders around financial realities, and exercise sound judgment in navigating the complexities of related but distinct entities.
This role is open to remote candidates, with the option to be based in Denver, CO. Travel 1-2 times per quarter for team meetings and retreats is required. Unite America offers a relocation stipend for those interested in moving to Denver.
Unite America believes that there is strength in diversity and strongly encourages candidates from diverse backgrounds and from across the political and ideological spectrum to apply.
OUR ORGANIZATION
Unite America is a non-partisan, philanthropic venture fund (composed of several legal entities) that invests in candidates, campaigns, and organizations in order to advance nonpartisan election reforms that will foster a more representative and functional government capable of solving America's most pressing challenges.
Founded in 2014, Unite America and its 35+ person team has grown to be a leader in the democracy reform movement. The organization has existed in its current form, and with its current primary focus, since 2019; in that time, we have successfully mobilized tens of millions of dollars from scores of philanthropists to candidates and reform campaigns across the country.
Recent victories where we played a leading or a major supporting role to win: a major anti-gerrymandering campaign in Virginia; a first-of-its-kind, top-four open all-candidate primary system in Alaska that helped elect one of the most ideologically diverse slates of statewide officeholders in recent history; and a ballot initiative in Nevada to implement Alaska-style reforms in that state. We are poised to dramatically scale our impact in the years to come.
At Unite America, we are working to build a more representative and functional government that puts voters first and reflects the diversity of our country, and an inclusive democracy in which leaders embrace problem-solving over fueling divisiveness. Likewise, we have a vision of building an organization that reflects diverse identities, experiences, and perspectives, a culture of working across differences toward common goals, and a workplace where everyone feels included, respected, and heard. To that end, Unite America is proud to have made diversifying our team, ensuring more equitable opportunity, and fostering a culture of belonging a priority. Our organizational values reinforce this commitment as we work to model the leadership we seek, solve problems together, and take care of one another, to name a few.
