Financial Reporting & Control Manager

Who are we?
We are a female-founded scale-up, currently made up of around 100 AltoVitians. Our fully-remote team hails from 26 different countries and collectively speaks 29 languages. Most of the time, it is our differences that are celebrated (whether they are in cultures, personalities, preferences or passions). However, despite those differences, there are a few principal attributes that we share which define an AltoVitian. AltoVitians are tenacious, humble, and thoughtful. Being humble is important because it enables us to keep learning every day, and tenacity is necessary because in a high performing environment as fast-paced as AltoVita, taking it slow is simply not an option!

Today is a particularly exciting time to join our team, we closed our Series A financing round in late 2022 and will be starting the Series B rounds in the coming year. This next chapter won’t always be a smooth ride, but it will be filled with innovation, excitement and opportunities, so if you are ready for the challenge (and the fun!) of growing with us, we would love to hear from you.
