Corporate Controller (Broomfield)
About Xero Shoes Xero Shoes makes natural-movement footwear — minimalist, barefoot-inspired shoes, boots, and sandals — built to let feet do what they’re designed to do. We’re a global brand with an omnichannel model spanning direct-to-consumer e-commerce, wholesale, and international distributor channels, with operating entities across the United States, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic. Backed by private equity, we’re a fast-moving, dynamic company in a period of growth and change. If you want real ownership, global complexity, and the chance to make an immediate impact on a scaling finance function, this is the role. About the Role We’re looking for a hands-on, technically strong Controller to own day-to-day accounting operations across our multi-entity, multi-currency global structure. Reporting directly to the CFO, you’ll run the close, drive financial reporting under U.S. GAAP, prepare our quarterly SEC filings, and maintain a strong internal controls environment.
