Joko & our Finance Team Founded in 2018, Joko has reached a scale and trajectory that few European startups can match: Strong and rapidly growing revenue, having multiplied dramatically over the past five years Already profitable with ambitious growth targets, and a path to becoming a large scale global company Live in the US, with plans to open additional international markets in the near term Multiple revenue streams — with more business units launching in the coming years A fast‑growing team, with plans to significantly scale headcount in the near future The Finance team ensures that Joko builds a strong, profitable, and strategically sound business. Finance is at the heart of our decision‑making: we build sophisticated financial models, manage multi‑country P&Ls, steer cost efficiency across the company, and provide the analytical backbone that supports our aggressive growth targets. Today, the team consists of 2 Finance Managers, each owning specific P&L lines and partnering directly with business stakeholders across Online, Card‑Linked, Gift Cards, Marketing, Tech, Product, Care, and the US. We are planning to double the team to support our growing complexity and international expansion. You will report to Quentin, our COO. What You Will Do We are looking for an exceptional finance leader ready to take ownership of a fast‑scaling, multi‑country finance function — someone who can both set the strategic direction and get deep into the details when needed. Your Responsibilities As VP Finance Lead and scale the Finance team: manage and develop the current 2 Finance Managers, recruit 2 additional headcount to double the team, and continue growing it as the company scales toward 200+ people across multiple geographies. Build a world‑class finance organization. Own the company's financial strategy: drive financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting across all business lines (Online, Card‑Linked, Gift Cards) and geographies (France, US, and future markets). Our current modeling approach combines elasticity‑based CAC projections, cohort‑based revenue models, and granular bottom‑up cost budgets — you will own and continuously improve this. Be the financial voice at the leadership table: partner with the COO and co‑founders on key strategic decisions — market expansion, investment allocation, pricing, and business line prioritization. Drive investor relations: be a key main touchpoint for investors, shareholders, and bankers on all financial topics. Own financial communication, reporting, and fundraising preparation. Steer multi‑country P&L management: own consolidated and country‑level P&Ls (France, US, and upcoming markets), including transfer pricing, cost allocation, and local compliance. Manage cash and working capital: ensure efficient cash management across a complex business with multiple payment flows, Gift Cards working capital needs, and multi‑currency operations. Cash is king — make sure the whole company knows it. Own financial reporting and controls: be responsible for monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports, budget vs. actuals tracking, and re‑forecasts. Set up robust financial controls to prevent fraud and errors. Drive cost efficiency at scale: lead cost optimisation across the organisation, negotiate key contracts with suppliers, and ensure every team is accountable for their cost targets. We are moving to granular bottom‑up budgeting with clear ownership — you will champion this. Raise the bar on accounting practices: drive disciplined monthly accounting closing across all geographies (France, US, and future markets). Build toward group consolidation respecting international standards (IFRS) as we scale into a multi‑entity, multi‑country organisation. Ensure our accounting practices match the rigor expected of a company of our ambition. Leverage AI to transform finance operations: we believe AI will fundamentally reshape how finance teams operate. You will be expected to lead this transformation — identifying where AI can automate repetitive work (reporting, reconciliation, data extraction), augment decision‑making (forecasting, anomaly detection, scenario modelling), and ultimately allow a lean team to operate at the level of a much larger one. This is not a nice‑to‑have: we expect you to have a strong point of view on how AI changes the finance function and to actively drive its adoption across your team. Coordinate with external partners: manage relationships with our external accountants, auditors, and financial advisors. Oversee monthly accounting of the P&L and balance sheet, annual closing, and the audit of our financial statements. Who We’re Looking For Languages: You are fluent in English (the main language we use internally) and French (for relationships with our accountants and the administration), both written and spoken. International experience is highly valued as we expand across multiple markets. Experience: You have 10+ years of experience combining both traditional finance (corporate finance, investment banking, private equity, transaction services, or audit) and a senior finance leadership role in a high‑growth tech company or scale‑up. You have a proven track record of leading a team. Experience scaling a company from tens of millions to hundreds of millions in revenue and/or operating in multi‑country or multi‑entity setting is a strong plus. Strategic mindset: You think like a business partner, not just a finance controller. You can connect financial analysis to business decisions, and you're comfortable challenging leadership with data‑backed recommendations. Financial modelling and analysis: You have deep expertise in financial planning and analysis. You're comfortable building and owning complex models — from cohort‑based revenue projections to elasticity‑based cost models. You know how to extract signal from noise and build projections that actually help make decisions. Stakeholder management and communication: You have outstanding written and verbal communication skills. You can present complex financial topics to a senior audience with clarity and conviction. You're not afraid to expose and defend your decisions with demanding stakeholders, including co‑founders, investors, and external partners. Accounting expertise: You have a strong understanding of accounting principles and practices. You know what it takes to run rigorous monthly closings across multiple entities and geographies, and you have experience with or a clear vision for building group consolidation under international standards (IFRS). Operational rigor: You are structured, data‑driven, and detail‑oriented. You love solving complex problems by breaking them down into actionable pieces. You have a talent for spotting flaws and building processes that prevent them. International finance: You have experience with or strong appetite for multi‑country financial operations — including multi‑currency management, international tax considerations, and building finance operations in new markets. AI‑native mindset: You have a strong conviction that AI will transform the finance function. You actively use AI tools in your work today, and you have a clear vision for how AI can automate, augment, and accelerate finance operations — from reporting and reconciliation to forecasting and analysis. You are excited to build an AI‑first finance team. Mindset: You are passionate about Finance and about building something exceptional. You thrive in fast‑paced, high‑growth environments. You have an entrepreneurial mindset, you like getting hands‑on, and you're energized by the idea of scaling a company from tens of millions of revenue to billions.
