Role Summary

Novamera is a venture-backed mining-technology company commercializing a proprietary platform that integrates subsurface imaging, digital simulation, and robotic extraction to unlock complex and narrow-vein ore bodies. As the company transitions from R&D and field validation into scaled commercial deployments across multiple jurisdictions, Novamera requires a Corporate Controller to build and operate a finance function that can support capital-intensive projects, complex revenue models, and institutional- grade reporting.

The Corporate Controller will be responsible for establishing and maintaining Novamera’s financial infrastructure, controls, and reporting systems. This role will serve as the operational backbone of the finance organization, ensuring that government funding, project-based revenues, and investor capital are accurately tracked, compliant, auditable, and aligned with strategic decision-making.

This is a hands-on leadership role reporting to the CFO (or COO if CFO is not yet in place), with significant interaction with external auditors, government agencies, investors, and operating teams.
