About Convergent Research
Convergent Research is a non-profit science studio best known for pioneering the Focused Research Organization (FRO): a startup-style team built to tackle one ambitious scientific problem that academia and industry can’t. We’re launching moonshot science projects which may change the trajectory of scientific progress. Today we support 14 FROs and counting across the US, the UK and Chile, with an annual budget of $75 million and growing.
Large-scale brain mapping, climate measurement and software for math all have something in common: they each need a nonprofit legal entity, payroll providers, health benefits, boards, contracts, office space, press releases, websites… For every FRO we support, Convergent provides the backend infrastructure that lets them move fast.
About the Role
As the Controller, you oversee the full accounting operation across Convergent, its disregarded entities and its subsidiaries, from the general ledger and monthly close to internal controls, audit and regulatory compliance. You will also build and run our federal grants program: designing the compliance infrastructure, monitoring every award, and executing against 2 CFR Part 200 from award setup to closeout.
Reporting to the Head of Finance, you will lead a team of Finance & Accounting Managers and serve as our in-house expert on GAAP and federal grant compliance, weighing in on matters of significance with team, FRO and Convergent leaders.
This is a fully remote position with domestic travel required quarterly for team and organizational onsites, and as needed.
