HEAD OF FINANCE, M-KOPA MOBILITY

[https://app.ashbyhq.com/api/images/user-content/1d985516-2a99-43c0-b591-957f5adaceb9/baf3bc42-31e4-4775-99e3-bcd469f04633/image.png]

The Head of Finance's purpose is to make sure M-KOPA Mobility is resourced to grow, translate capital into vehicle and operations at speed and efficiency, and provide leadership and investors a view of business performance they can trust and act on.

You will achieve this purpose by leading finance for M-KOPA Mobility: supporting fundraising strategy and execution, owning the business plan and budget, producing clear reporting that lets leadership understand and improve business performance, and running Mobility’s treasury and procurement execution within the Group framework.

Mobility is a fast-growing, early stage business unit within M-KOPA’s wider Group. It operates autonomously with the agility needed to act on an early stage and dynamic market opportunity. It draws on Group Finance for its accounting backbone, follows Group finance policies and controls, and it held to Big 4 audit standards

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

- Capital strategy & fundraising:

- Own the Mobility financial model, maintaining its structure, assumptions and outputs so it is the single source of truth for planning, capital raising and decision-making

- Work with the Managing Director to shape Mobility's capital strategy, including capital structure options, sequencing of raises, and funding sources

- Lead finance data collection and preparation for due diligence, working with Group Finance so requests are answered accurately and on time

- Prepare and present portfolio analysis and performance to investors and lenders

- Financial reporting:

- Work with the M-KOPA Group finance team to review and interrogate management accounts and the monthly close for Mobility, ensuring accuracy and clarity

- Lead monthly business performance reviews, helping M-KOPA leadership to understand business performance, key drivers, and prioritize improvement opportunities

- Work with the Head of Portfolio to reconcile credit loss and recovery numbers across portfolio metrics and accounting views, so priced and reported risk agree

- Prepare the financial content of the board reporting pack, and keep business unit and Group reporting consistent

- Oversee statutory and tax filings delivered through the Group finance backend, and ensure Mobility's controls and records meet Group policy and Big 4 audit standards

- Financial planning & analysis:

- Own the annual business plan, budget, and financial targets for Mobility

- Build the finance systems for the business unit, including reporting and insights that give leadership a clear, timely view of commercial and financial performance

- Represent Finance in decisions on pricing, retention economics and new investment cases, bringing the unit economics behind each

- Treasury execution:

- Oversee funding and payment execution inside the Group delegation framework

- Forecast Mobility's cash and funding needs, and work with Group Treasury on the capital Mobility draws for growth and working capital

- Procurement:

- Manage the Mobility procurement team, setting purchasing policy and approval limits for the division

- Ensure Group procurement policies are strictly adhered to while enabling Mobility's rapid growth with speed and cost-efficiency

This is a central role serving all Mobility markets, a member of the Mobility Leadership Team, and the first point of contact for Finance matters raised by the Managing Director, the General Manager and the Head of Portfolio.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
