Pivot

ABOUT US Every company that scales lives or dies by its procurement function. It manages the vendor relationships that keep operations running, the financial guardrails that prevent overspend, and the supply chain resilience that determines whether a company survives a crisis or folds under one. And yet, the people doing this work spend 80% of their time in spreadsheets. Not because they lack ambition, because the tools haven't changed in 25 years. Pivot is building the AI operating system for procurement: enterprise-grade infrastructure that hands the manual grind to AI agents so procurement teams can do what they were actually hired to do, shape the strategic future of their companies. Our platform combines intake, approvals, vendor management, invoice matching, and ERP integrations in a single AI-native platform. We've lived this frustration firsthand. We built Pivot because we couldn't find what we needed, and because we believe procurement shouldn't be the last function to enter the AI era. It should be the first. The adventure started mid-2023 with three founders, former C-levels from fintech unicorns (Qonto and Swile) and highly experienced engineers from top-notch tech companies. We’ve since raised $40M in a Series B round, totaling our funding to $70M, coming from tier-1 investors. We’ve built a team of 70, are operating across 25+ countries, and are trusted by enterprise leaders like DoorDash, Lemonade, Wolt, and Flix We're looking for smart, execution-driven people who care about building something exceptional. YOUR ROLE We just raised a $40M Series B. This brings a whole set of challenges for the finance function in order to set solid foundations to continue hyperscaling. As Financial Controller, you will manage 3 external accounting firms across our 3 office geographies (UK, US, and France), doing everything from consolidating accounts to putting in place systems to automate and ensure financial visibility and control. You'll report to the Head of Finance. This is a builder role. We're a tech company and we expect you to think like one: automate what can be automated, learn new tools fast, and use Pivot to manage Pivot's own procurement. WHAT YOU'LL DO CONSOLIDATION & CLOSING * Own the monthly close process end-to-end. * Consolidate accounts across our multi-entity structure (France, US, UK) and automate manual processes through technology. * Deliver timely financial statements under French GAAP and IFRS where applicable. MANAGING OUR ACCOUNTING FIRMS * Coordinate and manage our three external accounting firms (France, US, UK). * Over time, help lead the transition to internalise accounting. REPORTING & CONTROLS * Build the reporting layer that makes financial data available in real time. * Own SaaS reporting to our Board of Directors. * Design and enforce internal controls across procure-to-pay, revenue recognition, and payroll. * Lead the annual statutory audit and manage tax compliance across jurisdictions (VAT, CIT, payroll taxes). * Own accounting policies and the overall integrity of financial data. FP&A & BOARD SUPPORT * Produce accurate budget vs. actuals and own the variance analysis. * Help prepare the yearly budget and reforecasts together with the Head of Finance. * Prepare board and investor reporting materials in partnership with the Head of Finance. * Support fundraising prep and future subsidiary openings as we scale. FINANCE STACK & AUTOMATION * Own the finance tech stack and how the pieces connect — ERP, billing, expense management, AP automation. * Identify and drive process improvements that remove manual work from the close cycle. * Use Pivot internally to manage our own procurement and vendor workflows. REQUIREMENTS * You have at least 3 years in audit/accounting/finance, including time in a Big 4 or structured audit environment. * Strong technical accounting knowledge. * You're comfortable with multi-entity consolidation across jurisdictions. * You're tech-savvy: you learn new tools fast and look for ways to automate before doing things manually. * You communicate clearly with non-finance stakeholders — you make numbers easy to understand, not just accurate. * Fluent in both French and English. MINDSET * You have a sharp eye to detail and structured mindset. * You care deeply about accounting and finance — not just as a function, but as a lever for the business * You always want to keep learning and are comfortable confronting ideas. * You enjoy the cadence of an early-stage startup and want to bring the best of yourself. * You are a good team player and want to share good vibes with smart and caring co-workers.
