The Construction Controller will implement best-in-class systems, manage compliance, and provide leadership in financial planning as Vessel scales its building program nationally.
Competitive base salary, performance based bonus, participation in our Employee Stock Option Program and comprehensive benefits.
Who You Are

Hands-on experience with NetSuite (required); exposure to Procore or similar construction project management systems strongly preferred.
Proven ability to partner with operations leaders and project managers.
Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
CPA, CMA, or CCIFP designation preferred, but not required.
Based in New York City; this is primarily an in-person role at our NYC office.

Partner with project managers, VPs of Field Operations, and factory leadership to ensure alignment of budgets, schedules, and actuals.
