Own monthly close, design and implement SOX caliber controls, lead PCAOB audit and IPO readiness for a manufacturing hardware company.
Worth knowing: Company expects prior IPO S-1 and SOX 404 experience
About Standard Bots Standard Bots builds AI-native industrial robot arms deployed at manufacturing facilities across the U.S. In June 2026 we closed a $200M Series C at a $1B valuation, led by RoboStrategy with continued backing from General Catalyst and new participation from the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund and Samsung Next.
