Job description

Horizon Recruitment is recruiting for a Controller & Finance Director on behalf of a well‑capitalized, high‑growth junior mining company based in British Columbia. With significant financing secured and a major development project advancing, the company is building its internal finance function for the first time. Reporting directly to the CFO, this newly created leadership role will establish the financial infrastructure needed to support the next stage of growth. This is an opportunity to move beyond maintaining existing processes. You’ll build them. From strengthening financial controls and reporting to developing systems and leading a future accounting team, you’ll have a direct hand in shaping how finance supports the business as it scales. The ideal candidate is someone who has successfully built a finance function in a growing organization and enjoys creating structure in an evolving environment.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the company's transition from quarterly to monthly financial reporting cycles.
  • Build and strengthen the finance function by implementing scalable accounting processes, policies, and internal controls.
  • Own financial reporting, including month‑end working papers, board reporting, and continuous disclosure support.
  • Oversee day‑to‑day accounting operations while ensuring the integrity of the general ledger.
  • Partner with external accounting providers and auditors to deliver accurate, timely financial reporting.
  • Improve capitalization practices, accounting policies, and disclosure controls appropriate for a publicly listed company.
  • Support treasury activities, including cash flow forecasting, vendor payments, and liquidity planning.
  • Work closely with operational leaders to implement site‑level financial controls, including inventory and capital asset tracking.
  • Evaluate finance systems and recommend improvements that support future growth.
  • Build and mentor an internal accounting team as the organization transitions away from outsourced accounting.
  • Serve as a trusted finance partner to operational leaders by providing meaningful financial insights that support decision‑making.
  • Travel periodically to the project site to build relationships and support on‑site finance initiatives.

Requirements

  • CPA designation or equivalent professional accounting qualification.
  • Minimum of 8 years of progressive accounting and financial reporting experience.
  • Public company reporting experience is required.
  • Experience within mining, natural resources, or another capital‑intensive industry is strongly preferred.
  • Demonstrated success building or transforming finance functions in a growing organization.
  • Strong understanding of financial reporting, internal controls, and continuous disclosure requirements.
  • Experience preparing information for boards of directors and audit committees.
  • Strong systems aptitude, including experience with QuickBooks or similar accounting software.
  • Advanced Excel skills and the ability to develop meaningful financial reporting and analysis.
  • Experience with flow‑through share accounting is considered an asset.
  • Excellent communication and relationship‑building skills.
  • Self‑directed, practical, and comfortable making decisions in an evolving business environment.

Remuneration

  • Base salary: $150,000 – $175,000, depending on experience.
  • Short‑term incentive target of 20% – 25%.
  • Long‑term equity incentive target of 25% – 30%, vesting over two years.
  • Competitive extended health and benefits package.
  • Hybrid work arrangement based in Metro Vancouver with a minimum of three days per week in the office.
  • Periodic travel to the project site.

Only candidates eligible to work in Canada will be considered.
