Leads Spider Labs’ Japan business with full P&L ownership, directing sales, marketing, customer success and inside sales, optimizing GTM performance, and representing Japan in global management.
About this role
Controller (head of finance and accounting) at Spider Labs (Spider AF), a global marketing-fraud-prevention SaaS startup with its Tokyo HQ plus offices in Lisbon, Cork and New York, strengthening its finance/accounting structure with capital markets in view.
As the domain owner for finance and accounting, the role consistently handles monthly, quarterly and annual closing, audit response, internal controls and FP&A, with the mission of not just running the close but building an IPO-ready disclosure and internal-control structure. The first ~90 days prioritize building the consolidated-closing structure (including overseas subsidiaries) and speeding up monthly close, establishing J-SOX internal controls and payment/approval controls, and building audit-firm relationships. The broader remit covers closing and disclosure (single-entity and consolidated, accounting policy and estimates), internal/financial controls (J-SOX, delegation-of-authority matrices, separation of preparer and approver, bank-balance reconciliation), audit and tax response, and later FP&A advancement. The execution layer combines internal staff, external accounting firms, dispatch staff and AI agents. Employment is full-time (正社員), primarily in-office in Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo, with remote negotiable. The posting is in Japanese.
