Role Overview:

We’re looking for a hands-on Finance Operations Manager to join our growing team. In this role, you will take ownership of the company’s financial operations, with end-to-end responsibility for overseeing day-to-day finance, reviewing operational efficiency and continuously implementing improvements to our finance processes and systems.

You’ll initially work closely both with our Founder and our Chief Technology Officer, and wider technical team, to build a financial landscape that supports compliance and fuels sustainable growth. You’ll need to be comfortable making commercially driven decisions; balancing risk management with the need to support ambitious but sustainable growth plans.

You’ll be a natural problem solver with a strong bias to take action, adaptable in your approach and confident operating in a business where priorities can shift and finance plays a critical role in enabling progress, not slowing it down. If you thrive in dynamic environments, enjoy autonomy and flexibility and take pride in building and shaping finance functions from the ground up, this could be the perfect role for you.

👋 The Company

The electric vehicle revolution needs to be accelerated to avoid climate disaster. Our mission is to get dirty petrol and diesel vehicles off our roads as quickly as possible and replace them with clean electric cars and vans. What might surprise you is that the majority of electric vehicles are not bought by individuals, they’re bought by companies. But these companies still face challenges as they electrify their vehicle fleet. Rightcharge removes these barriers to help them electrify faster.

Our core products today are the Rightcharge Card and Rightcharge Home Reimbursement. Combined, these two products give companies access to the largest aggregated network of public chargers in Europe (over 800,000 individual chargers), as well as the most sophisticated solution to accurately reimburse employees for charging their work vehicles at home. Less than 18 months from launching our B2B product, we’ve signed up some of the UK's largest fleets including The AA, Stagecoach and Vinci. Our goal is to continue accelerating this growth, our brand, positioning, brand awareness, product awareness and channel strategy will play a huge role.
