Job Description
We’re looking for a Head of Finance to build and lead a dedicated Finance function for Bolt’s Micromobility business, from financial governance and accounting to treasury and compliance, driving the financial maturity of a high-growth vertical.
With over 200 million users in 50+ countries, Bolt is one of the fastest-growing tech companies in Europe and Africa. And it’s all thanks to our people.
We believe in creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, regardless of race, colour, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, or ability.
Our ultimate goal is to make cities for people, not cars. And we need your help on this mission!
This is a rare opportunity to build a Finance function from scratch, with the full backing, systems, and expertise of the Bolt Group behind you. As Bolt’s Micromobility business has grown into a significant, operationally complex vertical, the time has come for a dedicated Finance team built specifically around its needs. You’ll own the strategy and execution of this function, with accountability for accounting, financial controlling, treasury, compliance, and, critically, the financial governance framework that underpins the business.
In the initial phase, financial operations are delivered through Bolt Group’s central Finance functions. A core part of this role is managing those relationships effectively, influencing, negotiating, and aligning with Group teams while progressively building dedicated capabilities within the Micromobility business. Success requires as much organisational credibility and stakeholder management as technical depth.
Define the financial governance framework for the Micromobility business, including intercompany structure, transfer pricing model, asset ownership principles, and cost allocation between the business and Bolt Group central functions. Act as the primary interface between Micromobility and Bolt Group Finance across accounting, controlling, treasury, and tax workstreams, defining scope, managing service quality, and driving continuous improvement. Own the delivery of accurate and timely financial statements (IFRS and statutory) across all jurisdictions; lead month-end close, audit coordination, and balance sheet oversight. Manage treasury operations, payment authorisation, accounts payable, and tax and regulatory compliance across all operating markets. Design and build the target operating model for a dedicated Micromobility Finance team, driving system and process improvements, and developing a sequenced hiring plan as the business grows.
You have demonstrated experience in accounting, IFRS, financial controlling, and multi-jurisdictional statutory reporting, ideally with a relevant professional qualification (e.g. ACCA, CIMA, ACA, or CPA). You have a proven track record of designing entity governance structures, transfer pricing frameworks, and intercompany arrangements, ideally through a carve-out, spin-out, or M&A context. You have experience managing outsourced finance functions, shared service centres, or complex inter-company service agreements, with the ability to hold partners accountable while maintaining productive, trust-based relationships. You have exceptional stakeholder management skills: comfortable influencing, negotiating, and aligning with divergent priorities across a large, matrixed organisation. You have an entrepreneurial mindset, energised by defining your own operating approach and building a function from scratch with a high degree of independence.
Experience is great, but what we really look for is drive, intelligence, and integrity. So even if you don’t tick every box, please consider applying!
