Business Process Controls, Senior Manager

ABOUT FLUIDSTACK We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it. We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI. We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply! HOW WE OPERATE - Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role. - Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible. - Reason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins. - Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward. - Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world. ABOUT THE ROLE As Fluidstack scales rapidly to meet the demands of the world’s leading AI organizations, we are building the financial and operational rigor required of a public-company-ready organization. As a Manager, SOX - Business Process, you will play a critical role in designing, implementing, and continuously improving the internal control environment that underpins our core business processes — from revenue and vendor operations to financial close and cross-functional workflows. You will partner closely with Engineering, Finance, Sales, and Operations to embed controls into scalable systems, reduce risk, and ensure compliance without slowing down the business. This role requires a balance of technical SOX expertise and operational thinking, with a focus on building efficient, automated, and audit-ready processes in a fast-moving environment.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS - Experience in SOX compliance, internal audit, or accounting, with hands-on involvement in building or operating internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR). - Strong understanding of SOX 404 requirements, including control design, documentation, and testing, ideally in a fast-paced or evolving environment. - Experience designing and implementing controls within core business processes (e.g., order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, record-to-report), with a focus on scalability and automation. - Ability to identify process and control gaps in ambiguous environments and drive pragmatic, risk-based solutions. - Experience partnering cross-functionally with Finance, Accounting, and Operations to embed controls into day-to-day workflows. - Strong ownership mindset with the ability to independently drive initiatives and manage multiple priorities in a high-growth setting. - Familiarity with process documentation and mapping tools (e.g., Lucidchart, Miro). - Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including clear and concise control documentation. - CPA required. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS - Experience taking a company through a SOX readiness or pre-IPO journey, including building controls from the ground up. - Background in a high-growth technology, infrastructure, or AI/ML company. - Experience with ERP systems in evolving environments (e.g., NetSuite implementations or optimizations). - Experience working directly with external auditors and preparing for first-year SOX audits. - Track record of implementing automated or scalable controls in partnership with engineering or systems teams. - Comfortable operating in lean teams, with a willingness to roll up sleeves and execute. SALARY & BENEFITS - Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity). - Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms. - Health, dental, and vision insurance. - Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
