Job Description:

Come Dream with Us at Hatch

There's nothing like a great night's sleep-the cozy, wrapped-up-in-a-heavy-blanket kind of sleep. The fire-crackling, curtains-drawn, DO NOT DISTURB kind of sleep. You know, the good stuff.

But here's the thing: while 85% of people agree sleep is the key to their well-being, more than half are unsatisfied with their own. Whether it's stress, interruptions, work, or little ones waking in the night, so many people need help getting truly restorative rest.

That's where we come in. At Hatch, we're on a mission to help people build better sleep habits-so they can feel more focused, energized, and present in their lives. We've designed best-in-class smart sleep devices, paired with science-backed sleep content, to help people unwind nightly, sleep deeply, and wake gently. More than 5 million sleepers of all ages have made space for rest with Hatch, with our baby products in 1 in 3 nurseries and our adult product, Restore, taking over nightstands (and TikTok) worldwide.

The Role: VP, Controller

We're seeking a seasoned and solution-oriented VP, Controller to lead our Accounting organization and bring clarity, control, and operational excellence to Hatch's financial processes and infrastructure. This is a pivotal leadership role for someone who thrives on structure, loves process, is analytical and finds satisfaction in building resilient systems and processes that scale.

You'll play a key role in shaping and scaling our accounting function while helping guide the company's financial health with strong GAAP compliance, robust internal controls, and thoughtful decision-making. You'll oversee our full spectrum of accounting operations-month-end close, compliance, system / process improvements, automation, and cash management-while managing both local and remote teams. This is a unique opportunity to build the backbone of a high-growth business that is on a mission to revolutionize the sleep industry, while working alongside cross-functional teams bringing business knowledge, expertise, and clarity to every interaction.
