Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND‑01 Alpha - our rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.

• Ensure accurate books: Ensure accurate, timely, and complete books and records across all entities, with robust controls and clear ownership.

Intercompany & Transfer Pricing

• Lead transfer pricing: Design and implement transfer-pricing policies and documentation in partnership with the tax team, and ensure they are correctly reflected in the accounts.

• Manage eliminations: Manage intercompany eliminations and ensure consistency across entity and group reporting.

Consolidation & Financial Reporting

• Lead the close: Lead the global month-end and year-end close, driving speed, accuracy, and continuous improvement in the process.

• Prepare financial statements: Prepare group and entity financial statements under IFRS / GAAP, and manage external audits end to end.

• Deliver trusted reporting: Deliver reporting and analysis that the CFO, leadership, and Board can rely on.

Systems, Controls & Automation

• Own SAP: Own and optimise the SAP environment for accounting and consolidation, ensuring it scales with the business.

• Leverage AI tools: Leverage AI tools to automate close, reconciliation, and reporting processes, improving efficiency and accuracy.

• Build controls: Design and maintain a strong internal-control environment and accounting policies, building toward audit- and IPO-readiness.

• Build the team: Build and lead a high-performing global accounting team as the function grows.

What We're Looking For

• Extensive controllership / accounting experience, including managing accounting across multiple international entities and currencies.

• Proven experience setting up intercompany and transfer-pricing frameworks and consolidating multi-entity reporting.

• Strong technical accounting knowledge under IFRS and/or US GAAP, and experience managing external audits.

• Experience using AI tools to streamline accounting, close, and reporting processes.

• Experience across both startups and public companies, with the range to operate at startup pace and to public-company standards.

• Direct experience scaling a company through to IPO, building the accounting function and controls required for a public listing.

• A builder's mindset — able to stand up processes, controls, and systems in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.

• Experience with the specific jurisdictions in scope — US, UK, Canada, and Germany.

• Experience in a venture-backed, high-growth startup or scale-up, ideally in hardware, robotics, deep tech, or manufacturing.

• Familiarity with SOX-style control environments and public-company reporting cadence.

• Experience building and leading distributed accounting teams.
