Job Description

RMT Global Partners is looking for a talented, energetic, and conscientious Assistant Controller to join our close-knit team.  Founded in 2011,we work with manufacturers from around the world to design, source and supply our airline customers with innovative and enriching products like eco-friendly service ware, functionally optimized crew equipment, and luxurious passenger comfort items. As an Assistant Controller at RMT, you will report directly to the Controller and support them in the management of the company’s financial and accounting operations, as well as provide operational support to the team.

What it’s really like working here

We are a small company that values teamwork, dependability, and proficiency.  You will have a large amount of autonomy and the responsibility to make decisions and set your own priorities.  We have a fantastic team, some with decades of experience in the airline industry, to help guide you and ensure your success. 

While autonomy and flexibility are desirable to some, it can be challenging for others.  You will sometimes have to wear many hats and be willing to learn new things on a daily basis.  Each day will be different with new challenges to overcome and problems to solve.  Currently, this job is a hybrid position (office/mostly remote) subject to change by management.  At the end of the day, you will help support a team that works closely with the world’s largest airlines developing innovative products and tackling tough global challenges like sustainability.
