What the job involves

- In this role, you’ll be responsible for overseeing the full AP lifecycle, strengthening financial controls, driving operational excellence, and supporting strategic initiatives within Finance & Accounting
- You will ensure financial accuracy and integrity while enabling the business to move quickly and efficiently
- Lead, coach, and develop the Accounts Payable team, ensuring strong performance, high engagement, and continued professional growth

- Own the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of AP policies, processes, and internal controls as Clutch scales and prepares for public-company readiness

- Support ad-hoc analyses, strategic initiatives, and cross-functional projects that enhance Clutch’s financial operations and infrastructure
Our take
Buying used cars is notoriously something of a minefield - but used car sales platform Clutch is making big strides to sweep away the risk. The marketplace lists certified vehicles for users to shops, and has home delivery, along with a full carfax, insurance, warranty, and optional financing.
The used car sales market has been undergoing something of a digital overhaul in recent years, with a flurry of used car marketplaces cropping up to offer similar services. Canada, however, remains relatively non-competitive compared with the U.S. and Europe. This means Clutch has the luxury of importing a tried-and-tested model into a relatively spacious market.
Clutch will, however, have to face off with close competitor Canada Drives. The two companies enjoy comparable levels of funding and are currently the top competitors in Canada’s used car market. With this market hotting up significantly, Clutch will need to tread carefully to ensure they come out on top.
