About JobGet

As the #1 app focused on everyday workers, JobGet is redefining the future of hiring. Founded in 2019, JobGet began as the only mobile-first hiring platform for everyday workers. Since then, we’ve grown by joining forces with Snagajob, the largest hourly job board in the U.S., followed by Seasoned, the leading platform for restaurant hiring. Each acquisition has brought JobGet closer to the frontline, making the platform faster, smarter, and more effective.

While most platforms chase volume, JobGet is laying the foundation for a new kind of hiring infrastructure focused on precision, speed, and real outcomes. Our AI-powered engine learns, adapts, and improves continuously. Employers don’t just get candidates, they get hires. Workers don’t just search, they get matched. The result is a more efficient hiring process with less friction and better results.

We serve a diverse range of industries, from food service and customer support to healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing. With access to over 200 million job seekers, our platform leverages cutting-edge AI to match qualified, role-ready candidates, automating key parts of the hiring process for faster decisions and better outcomes. By combining scale with precision, we’re transforming how businesses hire and how people find meaningful work.

Our mission is simple: to help everyday workers thrive by providing accessible, frictionless hiring solutions that deliver real results. Join us as we continue to build the future of work for the millions of people who power our world every day.

What You’ll Do 

We are seeking a highly experienced and strategic Contract Senior Controller to provide crucial leadership for our finance department on a temporary basis across our US and Canadian entities. This is a critical, hands-on, short-term engagement, potentially lasting 3 months. The ideal candidate is a seasoned finance professional who can immediately step in to ensure the continuity of daily financial operations and provide strategic, forward-looking insights. Beyond maintaining the status quo, we are looking for a fresh perspective to review current finance processes, identify opportunities for automation, and help develop a strategic roadmap for the department.

Strategic Review & Process Optimization

• Identify areas of inefficiency and recommend actionable improvements for greater accuracy, faster closing cycles, and better visibility across borders.
• Research and propose opportunities for automation of routine financial tasks
• Begin to draft a preliminary strategy and future-state plan for the global finance function. This will be prepared in collaboration with our current controller (who will be out of the office for the first 4 weeks of the contract).
