Fluent, Inc. (Nasdaq: FLNT), is a fast-growing company transforming online advertising through a commitment to performance and people-based marketing. Backed by a powerful team of experts, Fluent’s customer acquisition platform uses real-time, self-reported consumer insights to help our clients reach, acquire, and retain their ideal customers. As the company continues to grow, the team is proud to be a premier acquisition partner to hundreds of leading brands; we also have a shiny trophy case with some tokens from Crain’s and Forbes.
Following the spin-off of our business from its former parent company earlier this year, we are looking to hire an exceptional and passionate Controller with prior public company experience. The Controller will lead the Accounting function and own the financial reporting process, reporting directly to the CFO. Fluent is a public company but operates with a “start-up” culture. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, get excited about building and developing teams, systems and processes, and have a burning desire to be part of a winning team where you can truly accelerate great missions, we want to meet you.
