About the Role

Camunda is looking for a Senior Director, Accounting & Controlling to lead and evolve our global Accounting function as we scale toward €500M ARR. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who combines solid technical accounting depth with a genuine drive to build, automate, and improve; a leader who approaches complexity with a “I can figure this out” and “bias for action” mindset rather than defaulting to caution.

You will be accountable for the full accounting engine: close, reporting, controls, and policy. But equally important is your ability to move at pace, partner credibly with Sales, RevOps, and the broader business, and exercise practical judgment that enables growth rather than slowing it down. This is not a role for someone who over-indexes on risk at the expense of momentum.

A central part of this role is transformation. Camunda has an Enterprise Agentic Automation Team and a genuine appetite to modernize how Finance operates. We’re looking for someone who is energized by that opportunity, who sees AI-enabled automation not as a buzzword but as a lever they personally want to pull, in partnership with the teams around them.

Camunda operates as a German GmbH consolidating under IFRS, with subsidiaries in the U.S., UK, and Singapore. Our core ERP is NetSuite. This role reports directly to the CFO and is a key member of the Finance leadership team.

Team scope (15 FTE): Accounting Operations, Revenue Accounting, Group Reporting, Tax & Treasury, Global Payroll
