Financial Controller

Mission

At Embat, we’re building the next generation of treasury technology for mid-market companies — and we’re growing fast. As our Controller, your mission is to own and scale our finance operations, ensuring accuracy, transparency and automation at every step. You’ll report directly to the Co-CEO and play a key role in turning finance into a strategic advantage as we scale internationally.

About Embat

Embat is an innovative fintech reimagining how companies manage cash, liquidity and treasury operations. We’re already working with some of the most dynamic companies in Europe and backed by top-tier investors. We're now scaling fast in markets like the UK and DACH, and building the financial backbone to support that growth is critical.

We don't believe in doing things "the way they've always been done." We're building a modern finance stack, and we need a Controller who is tech-forward, embraces automation, and is excited to work in a product-driven environment where finance and innovation go hand in hand.
