<title>About the role</title>

<text>

As a Financial Controller, you will be responsible for taking care of 200,000+ physical vehicles: electric scooters, e-bikes, and cars that get leased, manufactured, shipped across borders, deployed on streets, maintained, depreciated, impaired, and eventually written off. Each of those steps has accounting implications across multiple entities, currencies, and regulatory environments.

 

You’ll be working alongside Accounting, Operations, Hardware, Tax, FP&A, and Finance Technology. This is a hands-on role with real strategic visibility; when leadership asks “how is Rentals performing?”, your work is a big part of the answer.
