Chief Financial Officer

Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom Ember Core Ltd Full time £90,000 - £150,000
We're building the future of public transport — convenient, affordable, connected and zero-emission.

Our goal is to make it easier and more enjoyable to get from A to B with Ember than it is with your own car.

We're a tech company, not a traditional bus operator.

This allows us to use electric buses more intensively than anyone else in the world, leading to a massive emissions reduction.

It also helps us provide a much better passenger experience, with innovative features like demand-responsive stops.
We're still tiny, with two routes and 24 buses.

We've recently raised a Series A from some of Europe's leading climate VCs and are looking for mission-driven individuals who can help take us to the next level.

You'll be working directly with the Founders, taking ownership of the end-to-end finance function as well as playing a key role in advancing the broader business strategy.

As a full stack business with real assets on our balance sheet, a big part of the role will be ensuring our debt financing can scale with the business.

We've successfully worked with Triodos Bank to fund our first 40 vehicles but this set up will need to evolve as we go to 400 and then 4,000 vehicles in multiple geographies.

You'll need to build relationships with a wide variety of financiers, think practically about which legal structures work best and take charge of ensuring we have the right finance in place on the right terms to hit our growth plan.

This will include preparation of board materials (prose plus data -no slides), Balancing both the equity and the debt story means wearing the two hats of low risk and high growth simultaneously – they're not contradictory but you'll need to craft a narrative that shows we are transparent, ambitious and secure.

You'll be managing our existing Head of Finance and developing them further.

As a team of one they've brought us a long way already - you'll be supporting and driving them to take things to the next level whilst ensuring operational finance continues to run smoothly day-to-day.

With full oversight of the finance function in a growing business, you'll ensure that our processes are hyper efficient and not people heavy.

Our existing Head of Finance has set up a huge amount but scaling further will inevitably bring new challenges.

Things like payroll, treasury management, expenses and management accounts will all need to evolve as we scale in numbers and geographies.

You don't need specific transport or mobility experience – none of us had any experience with buses before we launched.

However, experience with scaling an asset-intensive business whilst staying nimble is helpful.

You'll primarily be based in our Edinburgh office as this role is an integral part of the senior leadership team.

Diversity and equality
At Ember, we support diversity across our team and customers. We work to ensure every employee feels respected and able to give their best, whether temporary, part-time or full-time.

We're happy to offer flexible working patterns where they make sense, are compassionate when it comes to time off and offer enhanced maternity and paternity leave.

Read more about our approach in our Equal Opportunities Policy .
You'll also be eligible for share options through an EMI scheme.

As founders, we see you becoming a thought-partner which means developing deep knowledge across the entire business – finance touches everything and everything touches finance.

You should have a natural curiosity and a feel for how commercial, technical, operational and legal developments can drive the PnL.

You'll be coming in as a finance expert but not necessarily a transport one.
Outstanding modelling skills and a clear vision for what makes a financial model into a powerful business tool. You'll own the development of our models and should be a very advanced user of Google Sheets or Excel.
Able to confidently self serve with data from across the business and build it into streamlined models.

Familiarity with MySQL, PostgreSQL or similar query languages is very helpful – if you don't have this we'd expect you to learn it so you can work autonomously.

A strong understanding of what's involved in managing working capital and treasury from a bottom up understanding of business needs.

Strong relationship building skills, understanding what different audiences are looking for and knowing how to negotiate effectively.
A focus on long term progress and making constant improvements along the way.
