Opportunity Overview

TuSimple’s Senior Accountant is a member of the growing Corporate Controllership team, which is moving toward the standardized and global Controllership model. As a SOX compliance accountant, you will play a key role in providing oversight of internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”). In this role, you will be responsible for collaborating with various business partners in documenting the process over ICFR. You will apply risk assessment and a strategic thinking mindset to evaluate the design of internal controls, identify weaknesses, and recommend solutions and process improvements that lead to increased efficiencies, enhanced ICFR, and SOX compliance.

As the company continues to grow, the role may require you to participate in other tasks under the purview of Corporate Controllership. This may include, but is not limited to: monthly consolidations of financial statements for our U.S. and international entities, quarterly and annual financial reporting, and performing research and preparing memos over complex accounting matters.

You are a team player who is passionate about what you do. You pay attention to details, stay organized, have excellent oral and written communication skills, adapt to new situations, and can work independently in a fast-paced environment.

Join us and be a part of excellence!
