Role
Who you are

- The ideal candidate is a strong financial modeler with cross-functional operations experience
- They thrive in a fast-paced, data-rich environment and can translate complex datasets into clear business actions while also improving company processes, vendor performance, and compliance execution
- 8+ years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, corporate finance analytics, or related fields
- Prior experience leading FP&A transformation or implementing an FP&A platform
- Experience in high-growth or operationally complex environments (mobility, logistics, hardware-enabled businesses, multi-market operators preferred)
- Expert-level financial modeling, forecasting, and quantitative analysis skills with advanced Excel/Sheets and BI experience
- Strong systems experience (FP&A platforms, ERP integrations, BI tools)
- Advanced Excel/Sheets; working SQL proficiency required
- Experience working with large operational datasets
- Familiarity with procurement, insurance admin, AP workflows, or compliance reporting preferred
- Highly organized and deadline-driven, capable of balancing analytics, reporting, and cross-team operational execution
- Excellent communicator who can collaborate with senior leadership and field teams
- Comfortable working in ambiguity, building structure from incomplete information, and improving processes at scale
- High ownership mentality; thrives in high-expectation environments
What the job involves
- Veo is entering its next stage of scale. We are evolving from a founder-led, spreadsheet-driven environment into a disciplined, systems-enabled finance organization that drives strategic decision-making across the business
- This Finance Manager will lead that evolution. This is not a reporting role. This is a build-and-lead mandate
- You will own FP&A transformation, upgrade financial systems and reporting infrastructure, and partner directly with executive leadership to drive financial rigor, operational efficiency, and business accountability
- This position reports directly to the CFO and serves as a key leader within Finance
- The Finance Manager will play a dual-role supporting Veo’s Finance and Operations leadership
- Approximately 60% of this role focuses on building advanced financial models, operational dashboards, forecasting tools, pricing and margin analysis, and data-driven insights that drive strategic decision-making across the business
- The remaining 40% of the role supports corporate operations—including procurement, state and local compliance, insurance administration, and AP optimization—helping improve efficiency, reduce operational risk, and strengthen internal controls
- Financial Analytics & Strategic Modeling (60%):
- Own and elevate Veo’s financial planning and analytics function
- Lead transition from spreadsheet-based reporting to a scalable FP&A platform (e.g., Jirav, Cube, Fathom, etc.)
- Design and implement forecasting, budgeting, and long-range planning frameworks
- Build executive-ready dashboards and KPI packages across revenue, unit economics, fleet performance, cost structure, and market profitability
- Create scenario modeling frameworks for pricing strategy, city expansion, capital deployment, and margin optimization
- Establish standard definitions, data governance, and reporting cadence across the company
- Lead monthly performance reviews with department leaders and hold teams accountable to financial targets
- You will be expected to run the current process while you architect the new system
- Corporate Operations & Business Enablement (40%):
- Procurement & Vendor Administration:
- Oversee vendor spend analysis and contract lifecycle management
- Drive SaaS and technology cost rationalization initiatives
- Implement procurement controls and reporting discipline
- Lead and manage vendor negotiations through financial analysis
- State, Local & Regulatory Compliance:
- Own financial data and process to managing state, city, and municipal compliance filings
- Implement tracking systems for permits, renewals, and reporting obligations
- Reduce operational risk through improved documentation and workflows
- Insurance & Risk Administration:
- Maintain insurance cost tracking models and spend databases
- Assist with premium allocation modeling, budgeting, and ongoing policy analysis
- Support business with COI requests and needs
- AP & Finance Operations Optimization:
- Optimize AP workflows and vendor file structure
- Improve expense management controls
- Strengthen internal reporting tied to the chart of authority
Our take
Envisioning a green and sustainable mobility landscape as a solution to the current carbon-polluting transit system, Veo manufactures and supplies electric bikes and scooters which don’t require charging stations. The company is committed to a future with fully electric vehicles, with a focus on building strong partnerships with cities towards making eco-friendly transportation a reality.
Communities can implement Veo's fleets for free, as the company makes its money via rental charges and memberships. This encourages cities and campuses to introduce Veo's eco-friendly transport solution. The vehicles have their batteries swapped out by technicians, rather than needing to be charged at a station, enabling them to be available 24/7.
Capitalising on the fact that the ecological impact of transport is at the forefront of consumers' minds, Veo has grown to serve over 40 cities and college campuses. By manufacturing its own vehicles, as opposed to sourcing them elsewhere, the company has been able to release new models to combat found issues and design with its users in mind, allowing it to stand out from other micro-mobility providers. In 2023, Veo began selling its scooters directly to consumers as well, indicating a new market avenue for the company. It achieved EBIT profitability in 2024, indicating the success of its business model and an ecosystem here to stay.
