Corporate Controller

Description:

As the Corporate Controller at Giga, you will own the financial integrity of a company at the center of the AI infrastructure boom. This is not a steady-state accounting role — it's a critical role underpinning Giga’s capital decisions, regulatory strategy, and operational scaling. You'll lead an accounting team through the complexity of multi-entity consolidations, the technical accounting demands of a high-growth business, and support Giga’s mission critical finance team as it raises debt and equity capital to build out proprietary AI infrastructure. If you want to build something that matters and leave a fingerprint on how a category-defining company manages its financial foundation, this is your role.

Where you'll work We are an in-office culture — velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is ideally based in our San Francisco, Long Beach, or Houston offices, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays.

That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent if you live outside one of our hubs. If you're the right person for this role, we'll have a conversation about what works.

• Manage external auditor relationships and lead the annual audit process end-to-end.
• Partner cross-functionally with legal, operations, and executive leadership to evaluate and account for complex transactions, including project financing, M&A activity, and capital raises.
• Establish and maintain a robust internal controls framework (SOX-ready or equivalent) as the company scales toward a potential liquidity event.
• Drive the implementation and optimization of financial systems and ERP infrastructure to support scale.

Requirements
