Remote Axiom Controller View Jobs in Edison, NJ (NOW HIRING)

IM8 is a next-generation health and longevity brand co-founded by David Beckham and Prenetics (NASDAQ: PRE), on a mission to make world-class nutritional science accessible to everyone. Launched in late 2024, IM8 grew Q1 2026 revenue nearly 6x year-over-year to $33.8M, and the company has raised full-year 2026 IM8 revenue guidance to $190M-$210M. Over 60% of revenue is generated outside the US. We ship to 43 countries, and our athlete partner roster includes David Beckham, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Aryna Sabalenka, Ollie Bearman, and Inter Miami CF.
We are built on science, not story - our flagship Daily Ultimate Essentials carries 90 active ingredients, we run randomized controlled trials on our products, and we hold a clinical-grade standard in a category notorious for shortcuts.
Our business is subscription at its core. Every basis point of NRR we add compounds - into LTV, into payback, into the ability to outspend everyone else on acquisition. Retention isn't a department at IM8. It is the model.
POSITION OVERVIEW
We are hiring a VP of Finance / Controller for IM8, based in the US, to own the financial backbone of IM8 as we scale. This is a rare blend of public-company-grade controllership and forward-looking strategic finance: you will run a clean, audit-ready close and SEC reporting while actively shaping the numbers that drive commercial decisions. You will operate hands-on and lean - building and tightening process so the business can move fast without breaking. This is not a caretaker finance seat; it is a builder's seat for someone who is scrappy, commercial, and aggressive about creating advantage.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Controllership & Close: Own the full accounting function and a fast, accurate monthly/quarterly close across multiple entities and geographies.
- US GAAP & Technical Accounting: Serve as the technical authority on US GAAP; own revenue recognition, inventory/COGS, and complex/judgmental areas for a DTC consumer brand.
- SEC Reporting & Compliance: Own SEC filings and reporting (10-Q, 10-K, supporting schedules) and ensure full, on-time SEC compliance as part of a listed group.
- SOX & Internal Controls: Design, document, and operate SOX-compliant internal controls; partner with external and internal auditors to keep us audit-ready year-round.
- Strategic Finance & FP&A: Build budgets, forecasts, and models that shape - not just report - the business. Partner closely with commercial, growth, and ops to pressure-test unit economics, margin, and spend, and bring a forward-leaning point of view to the numbers.
- Cash, Treasury & Audit: Own cash flow, working capital, and treasury; lead the annual audit.
- Team & Systems: Build, lead, and right-size the finance team and stack as the business scales; sequence "attack then optimize" - get throughput up first, then tighten and reduce.
- This role requires flexibility to work across non-US timezones, a key responsibility to ensure seamless collaboration with international teams and partners.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
- A clean, efficient close and zero surprises in SEC reporting and audit.
- SOX controls that hold as we scale, without slowing the business.
- Finance seen as a commercial partner that actively shapes decisions, not a back-office function.
REQUIREMENTS (MUST HAVE)
- 6-10+ years of progressive finance/accounting experience
- Experience in finance/accounting leadership at a US public company.
- Active CPA.
- Deep, current US GAAP and SEC reporting expertise.
- SEC compliance and filing expert (10-K / 10-Q) and SOX / internal controls.
- Background in consumer health and/or consumer wellness
- A strategic finance mindset - comfortable being hands-on in a high-growth environment.
PREFERRED
- High-growth / scaling DTC consumer brand experience.
- A genuine blend of controllership and strategic FP&A (you can both close the books and shape the plan).
- Experience building and sizing finance teams through rapid change.
