About PIC

At PIC we're not just building data centers; we're reimagining how AI infrastructure gets developed, financed, and scaled by combining hyperscale-grade facilities with direct access to energy, land, and fiber at a scope that simply doesn't exist anywhere else. Backed by a best-in-class supply chain, world-class partners, and advanced partnerships with major hyperscale customers, PIC is poised to become a multi-billion dollar platform with ambitions to layer cloud, compute, and advanced manufacturing on top of our energy foundation.

If you want to work at the intersection of AI, energy, and infrastructure at a scale that will shape the next decade of compute, join our team.

About the role

This is a rare opportunity to join an AI Infrastructure company at inception. It’s a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who thrives on building from the ground up. You’ll build PIC’s finance function from first principles, designing the systems, processes, and insights that deliver accuracy, real-time visibility, and scalability as the company grows. You see finance not as a back-office function, but as a strategic enabler of execution and growth.

As the Controller, you will be the accounting leader of the group, and PIC’s first dedicated accounting leader: senior enough to design the function, pragmatic enough to dive into the details while operating with minimal infrastructure, and motivated by creating systems that last. Bonus if you can vibe-code your own solutions: whether that's a Python script to automate a reconciliation, a Zapier workflow to eliminate a manual handoff, or partnering directly with an engineer to build something more robust. We want someone who sees automation as part of the job, not someone else's problem.

Your mission

You will ensure that accounting records and financial information are always accurate, complete, and available. You will set a best-in-class standard from day one and grow your scope as the company expands. You are equally comfortable with the pace and ambiguity of an early stage environment and the rigour and discipline that infrastructure businesses demand.
