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.
