Head of Finance

Since our founding in 2021, we have had one clear goal: one app for all shared mobility, public transport, and taxis in Europe. No more 10 separate apps, IDs, and payment methods, and finally being done with always having the wrong app on your phone for the e-scooter on the corner. Today, Umob is live in more than 28 countries and 300 cities. With more than 300,000 available vehicles, we offer availability, reliability, and convenience. You find, compare, book, and pay directly via the Umob app. Think of, among others, the well-known electric bikes from Lime, scooters from felyx, e-scooters from Dott and Voi, cargo bikes from Cargoroo, and much more.

As Head of Finance at Umob, you are one of the 5 members of the MT and you provide direction to the further development and professionalization of the finance function. You translate financial insights into concrete decisions and play an important role in determining where Umob invests. Which activities deserve priority? What do our growth plans mean for cash flow and financing? And do the investments made result in the expected outcomes? At the same time, you maintain and improve financial models, analyze customer behavior, and build dashboards to monitor our progress. We build for the long term, and therefore like to invest in the right tools and processes to optimize/realize long-term value creation. And this within a very driven, energetic, and dynamic team. The growth phase the company is in requires a Head of Finance who is both strategically strong and hands-on and operationally involved. We work in small teams, can make decisions quickly, and require ownership and accountability from everyone.

Umob focuses on further growth within and outside the Netherlands, with both consumers and municipality(ies). This means that the Head of Finance must be comfortable both with the business model of a fast-growing consumer platform (CLV/CAC dynamics) and with bidding on tenders from and maintaining long-term relationships with municipalities.
