Finance Manager

ABOUT ZOOMO

At Zoomo, our vision is to transition every commercial urban mile to light electric vehicles - to build cities that are quieter, cleaner and more equitable. We build the world's most durable utility e-bikes and the fleet software that keeps them on the road, and we service them through our own hubs.

Founded in Sydney in 2017, Zoomo now operates across Australia, the UK, Spain, France, Germany, Canada and the US, with a team of around 200 people from 45 nationalities. Our bikes and platform are the trusted fleet partner to major players in food, grocery and parcel delivery, including Uber Eats, DoorDash, Just Eat Takeaway, Deliveroo, Amazon, FedEx, Domino's, Pizza Hut, Glovo and Getir.

Expect to join a high-performing team that wants to lead the charge towards carbon-neutral cities - and a company that has gone from startup to multi-country operator faster than most. That transition is what this role is about.

THE ROLE

As a Finance Manager working with global teams, you will own the finance function for the markets assigned to you. You will lead month-end, half-year and year-end closing, protect the integrity of the General Ledger, and make sure reporting and tax compliance meet local market requirements. You will also oversee the payables, receivables, cash and payroll-related accounting that keep those markets running, support audits, and give commercial teams clear numbers and commentary they can act on.

You will lead a small team and work closely with the other Finance Managers, the wider finance team and local advisors. The role suits someone who wants real ownership in a fast-paced, growing business, and who is happy to get hands-on with any financial question or project and to work across time zones with colleagues in other markets.

Zoomo leaders have a servant mindset in how they work with their teams and customers.
