Position Summary Marex is seeking a Controller to serve as the senior financial leader for our domestic operations. This is a hands-on ownership role responsible for the full month-end close, financial statement preparation, general ledger integrity, team oversight, and the continued development of controls and reporting infrastructure as the company scales.

Marex's incentive plan is company-wide, formula-driven, and paid on a defined schedule — not discretionary.

It has three tiers:

Tier 1 (quarterly): rewards company sustainability — approximately 4% of base for Leaders at on-target performance Tier 2 (annual): rewards hitting budgeted growth targets — brings total structured incentive to approximately 12% of base Business Unit Kicker (annual): rewards above-budget performance — up to an additional 30% of base for Leaders when business units outperform their plans In the 3PL industry, most employees see little to no structured incentive opportunity. Marex's plan is intentionally different — built on the idea that when the company wins, the people who build it should win alongside it. What Marex Offers Direct visibility to the CFO and executive leadership team A clearly defined team and operating structure with room to build A growth path for the right candidate, including potential expansion into international operations Professional development support and a culture that rewards ownership and execution Our Culture & Core Values Marex is a technology-enabled transportation solutions provider that operates with a mission to drive growth in the overall health of the people, businesses, and systems it connects through logistics. At Marex, we operate with urgency, accountability, and precision — defining clear deadlines, owning outcomes, valuing details, planning proactively, and executing with resilience to build long-term, sustainable success.
