Slamcore is looking for a Financial Controller to manage the day-to-day financial operations of a scaling AI hardware company at a pivotal moment in its growth. You will report to the CFO and play a key role in ensuring the financial operations of the business run effectively, with strategic oversight provided by the CFO.

Who we are

Slamcore is a London-based company that builds AI-embedded hardware for industrial intralogistics and warehouse operations.

We have raised substantial VC funding from investors including Toyota, Samsung and top tech VCs, with a commercial footprint spanning Europe and North America.

Our vision for this role

We’re flexible on how working time is structured across the week (whether full-time or part-time), and the role can be performed largely remotely, with occasional in-person time as needed.
