Our mission for you: Build the accounting foundation of a hypergrowth energy-tech scale-up from the ground up. Your work will ensure audit readiness, enable our Series B fundraising, and create the financial infrastructure that supports our ambitious growth journey. You'll own end-to-end accounting operations, transition us from external to in-house accounting, and build scalable processes that grow with us.

The challenge: This isn't about maintaining existing processes — it's about creating them. You'll establish scalable accounting infrastructure while navigating complex energy market transactions, multi-stakeholder structures, and regulatory requirements. It's fast-paced, hands-on, and requires both precision and pragmatism.

The opportunity: If you love building, scaling, and growing with a company, this is your role. Grow from hands-on operator to Accounting Lead, build your team, and develop the skills that prepare you for Finance Leadership positions.
