About Passport:
Passport is reinventing cross-border e-commerce logistics as the modern international shipping carrier of choice for hundreds of top direct-to-consumer brands (our customers include Kylie Beauty, Bombas, Native, Ritual, Seed.com, and more). We ensure end consumers in countries around the world receive their package by optimizing multiple proprietary networks of first-mile warehouse pickups, last-mile local parcel delivery, and customs brokerage to reshape international shipping and post-purchase experiences. Leveraging much-needed software, automation, integrations, and support with transparency into logistical data not provided by legacy carriers today helps e-commerce merchants and marketplaces navigate their international footprint to reach their global potential.
We’re a growing, ambitious team looking to upend the trillion-dollar international parcel shipping industry through a world-class experience. At Passport, you will have the opportunity to work with some of the biggest e-commerce merchants in the world and think strategically on how to add value to their international business. See this TechCrunch (https://tcrn.ch/2TKQ4eO) article to understand why brands love us.
You’ll be excited to mentor the strong Accounting Manager (+ adding another team member this year – accounting is, for the most part, done by an outsourced firm) and continue building trusted financial information for management, the Board and company. You love learning, growing and scaling systems, processes, data/information and teams. For you, it’s about improving the overall ecosystems around financial information to help the company succeed.
One of our Values is “You are an owner”. We’re growing quickly, and there are gaps to fill and skills to develop along the way. If you want a job with a clearly defined role and monthly consistency, we’re not the right fit.
You are highly motivated and proactive, and love being the first accounting leadership hire into a thriving startup, scaling and owning all things accounting and financial reporting. Reporting to the Head of Finance (also the first hire into Finance/Accounting), this inidual will be responsible for directing the accounting activities of the company. The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys the challenge of working at a fast-paced startup, solving problems, and pioneering processes to better streamline and enhance financial operations. You will play a critical role in ensuring that we build a high-performing accounting function, while partnering across the business to ensure our systems and processes are running smoothly.
