Finance Coordinator

We’re open to remote candidates within Canada. 

At Metalab, we design, build, and ship some of the world’s most beloved products. Founders at early-stage startups hire us to help build businesses from scratch. Leaders at global enterprises hire us to explore new technologies and launch new products. 

We're a distributed team with offices in Victoria and Vancouver. The majority of the company works remotely around the world, so you must be comfortable working independently with minimal supervision. As a Finance Coordinator at Metalab, you’ll help keep our company running smoothly by handling accounts payable and assisting with accounts receivable and other finance duties.

We are looking for someone to fill a parental leave position; this person needs to be detail-oriented, self-motivated, and takes satisfaction from a job well done. If you have the experience—or education—then this may be the right opportunity for you.
