Reports To
Senior Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer
What You Will Be Doing
ChargePoint is seeking a technically deep, operationally excellent accounting leader to serve as Corporate Controller - reporting directly to the Chief Accounting Officer (CAO). The level will be calibrated to the candidate's experience and capabilities; what is non-negotiable is a hands-on finance operator who blends rigorous accounting expertise with systems fluency, AI-tool command, and the leadership credibility to run a high-performing global team.
This role owns Record-to-Report (R2R), Treasury, and Tax - three critical pillars that underpin ChargePoint's financial integrity and capital efficiency. AR, Revenue, Payroll, Stock Administration, and Internal Audit sit separately under the CAO structure, allowing the Controller to maintain focused depth across their three domains. The scope spans a complex, multi-entity global organization with operations across North America, Europe and India, SEC reporting obligations, and an active agenda of automation and AI-enabled transformation.
The ideal candidate has walked the full path: Big 4 foundation, deep ERP and reporting-system experience, a proven track record deploying AI and automation in a finance context, and demonstrated breadth across controllership, treasury, and tax in a publicly traded company. Experience in high-tech, clean energy, or manufacturing is essential.
What You Will Bring to ChargePoint
Record-to-Report (R2R) / Controllership

• Own the global accounting close - monthly, quarterly, and annual - with relentless focus on cycle-time reduction, accuracy, and scalability; actively engineer process improvements rather than merely managing them.
• Oversee all corporate accounting operations: consolidations, intercompany eliminations, foreign currency translation, fixed assets, accounts payable, and global statutory reporting across all legal entities.
• Ensure timely, accurate internal and external financial reporting, including SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K) and global statutory compliance; own the technical accounting review for complex or novel transactions.
• Architect and lead automation initiatives across the R2R stack - deploying AI tools, other automations, and advanced analytics to eliminate manual work, reduce error, and scale operations without proportional headcount growth.
• Design, implement, and maintain a rigorous SOX 302/404 internal control framework; own audit readiness and manage the external auditor relationship.
• Define and track controllership KPIs - close cycle time, error rates, automation coverage, control deficiencies - and report regularly to the CAO.
• Build, develop, and retain a high-performing global R2R team; model hands-on leadership, willing to go deep in systems and data alongside the team.

Treasury

• Own global treasury operations: daily cash positioning, short-term liquidity management, cash flow forecasting, and bank relationship management across all operating geographies.
• Develop and execute treasury policy covering investment guidelines, counterparty risk, FX hedging strategy, and intercompany cash pooling.
• Manage foreign currency exposure - identify, quantify, and mitigate FX risk through appropriate hedging instruments in coordination with external advisors and the CAO.
• Oversee all global banking infrastructure: account structures, signatories, payment controls, and treasury management systems; ensure segregation of duties and strong controls over cash disbursements.
• Lead debt compliance and reporting obligations, including covenant monitoring, lender reporting, and capital structure analysis.
• Partner with FP&A and the CAO on cash flow planning, capital allocation scenarios, and liquidity modeling to inform strategic decision-making.
• Evaluate and implement treasury technology enhancements - TMS optimization, payment automation, and cash visibility tools.

Tax

• Oversee the global tax function in partnership with external advisors and any in-house tax resources; ensure timely, accurate tax provision (ASC 740) on a quarterly and annual basis.
• Manage federal, state, and international income tax compliance, including review of tax returns, extensions, and estimated payments prepared by third-party advisors.
• Drive transfer pricing governance - maintain intercompany agreements, benchmarking studies, and documentation aligned with OECD guidelines and local statutory requirements.
• Coordinate on R&D tax credits, FIN 48 / uncertain tax positions, and other material tax attributes; maintain appropriate reserves and disclosures in SEC filings.
• Support tax planning initiatives in collaboration with Legal and Finance leadership, including entity structuring, international expansion, and M&A diligence.
• Ensure compliance with indirect taxes (Sales Tax/VAT/GST) across US, Canada, Europe and other international jurisdictions; partner with operations and legal on sales tax nexus and compliance; ensure market place facilitator (MPF) compliance and system support globally.
• Manage tax audit risk - respond to federal, state, and international inquiries; coordinate with external advisors to defend positions and minimize exposure.

Cross-Functional Leadership & Finance Transformation

• Serve as a systems-fluent finance partner across the organization - collaborating with FP&A, IT, Legal, and Operations to align accounting infrastructure with broader business strategy.
• Lead and drive major finance transformation initiatives: ERP optimization (Oracle NetSuite), chart-of-accounts governance, reporting-layer modernization, and adoption of AI-enabled close and reconciliation tools.
• Contribute to SEC disclosure processes, including review of Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A), footnote preparation, review and tie out, and coordination with external auditors on complex accounting matters.
• Support investor relations and audit committee reporting as a credible, senior technical accounting voice.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA required.
• Experience: 15+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience in publicly traded companies (20+ for VP-level candidates); minimum 7 years in a senior leadership role managing global, multi-entity teams.
• Public accounting: Big 4 background with a strong audit and technical accounting foundation.
• Scope: Demonstrated leadership across at least two of three domains - R2R/Controllership plus Treasury and Tax - in a complex multinational environment.
• SEC / technical accounting: Deep expertise in U.S. GAAP, including ASC 606 (revenue), ASC 842 (leases), ASC 718 (stock comp), ASC 740 (income taxes), and consolidation / intercompany accounting.
• SOX: Deep familiarity with SOX 302/404 - design, documentation, testing, and remediation at scale.
• ERP: Hands-on expertise with Oracle NetSuite, including configuration, chart-of-accounts design, reporting modules, and close workflow automation; able to sit with the systems team and drive solutions, not just direct from the sidelines.
• Automation mindset: Proven track record deploying workflows and automations, AI-assisted reconciliation, or intelligent close tools that measurably reduced manual effort and error rates.
• Leadership style: Hands-on and credibility-first - equally comfortable presenting to the CAO and rolling up sleeves to diagnose a consolidation issue or a treasury cash break.
• Sector: Proven experience in multinational publicly traded companies; high-tech, clean energy, or manufacturing strongly preferred.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in both SaaS and hardware/manufacturing environments, including OEM, channel, and subscription revenue models.
• Background in companies with $500M-$2B+ revenue undergoing rapid growth, system scaling, or post-IPO maturation.
• Experience managing or co-leading a treasury function, including FX hedging, bank relationship management, and TMS tools.
• Hands-on experience implementing or significantly expanding AI-powered finance tools - AI-assisted close, anomaly detection, automated reconciliation (BlackLine, Trintech, or equivalent).
• Proficiency in data analytics and BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker) - ability to build finance dashboards, not just consume them.
• Experience drafting and defending complex technical accounting positions; familiarity with SEC comment letter processes.
• International tax experience, including transfer pricing documentation, VAT/GST compliance, and multi-jurisdiction filing coordination.
