About Pearl Talent :

We’re hiring a  Finance Controller for —which places top 1% talent from around the world into operational roles at startups. We’ve bootstrapped our company to a couple of million in revenue and are adding six to seven figures in net new annualized revenue each month. Our clients are fast-growing startups and phenomenal US-based businesses that have raised over $3B in funding from Sequoia, a16z, Founders Fund, Y Combinator, and other top VC firms.

I’m a 3x founder and most recently was investing into deep tech companies as COO of a fund in SF :   https : / / www.linkedin.com / in / montyngan / . I grew up in the Philippines myself—which is why I care so much about giving international talent opportunities to work at the best companies in the world) and most recently was investing.

At Pearl, we know that although opportunities aren’t created equal in the world, ambitious talent is. And it’s our mission to give hires from around the world who are sharp and hungry the opportunity to earn far more than they would in their home countries while learning from the best founders.

This is a completely WFH opportunity, where you’ll come in and help us lead and set the direction of our fast-growing client success team. We’ll need someone who can overlap working ET hours.

You’ll balance hands-on execution with strategic oversight, ensuring Pearl’s finances are both rock-solid and future-ready.
