At Density, we build the most advanced people-sensing system in the world. Density can tell you how many people are in any room in real-time, with very high degrees of reliability, and without invading individual privacy. The result of distributing this platform is lower emissions, less waste, better access, safer buildings, and better designed cities. It is a long-term pursuit and one we could use your help achieving.
Our product is being deployed by many of the world’s most admired brands. What these customers have in common is space. Collectively they own, operate, and occupy billions of square feet of corporate real estate. How the world relates to workspaces and commercial real estate is changing fast, which is why our customers need us now more than ever.
We count over 1 million humans per day. Over the next 18 months, we plan to count 100 million every 24 hours.
That’s where you come in.
Our people counting solution requires sophisticated hardware paired with our analytics platform. This makes our accounting function a bit more complicated than you might find at the average hardware or software company. We source all of our hardware components and assemble our sensors in-house, so there are components to purchase, work in process inventory to track, and cost of goods sold to calculate. Having a precise understanding of our margins is critical as we scale.
To effectively scale that rapidly we require good data, and we need you to lead an accounting function that ensures we have timely and accurate information to act upon. The Accounting Manager is responsible for all areas relating to general ledger accounting functions, financial & tax reporting. This is a highly visible role with exposure to all functional departments and reports to the Controller. In addition to daily and monthly responsibilities, the Accounting Manager will assist the Accounting team with executing and creating new processes to support our growing organization. The ideal candidate is a detail-oriented, self-motivated, team player with a very strong working knowledge of system processes, internal controls, GAAP, and SOX regulations. The candidate should be comfortable working collaboratively in teams and independently, handle multiple projects at once, and excel when faced with new challenges and problems.
