Jobbeschreibung

The shift to electric mobility is happening. Electra is accelerating it.

Transportation is one of Europe's biggest sources of carbon emissions. Since 2021, Electra exists to make charging so simple that electric vehicles become the obvious choice for everyone.

In 5 years, we've built a team of 300+ talents from 21 nationalities in 10 countries.

We've grown into one of Europe's leading fast-charging operators by deploying fast, reliable infrastructure and user experiences across our own network, and we're now expanding to thousands more charging points in Europe with our own eMSP.

Backed by over €1 billion in funding, we're looking for bold, passionate, collaborative talents to drive Europe's energy transition.

As Senior G/L Accountant, you will play a key role in supporting the financial operations of Electra for the Alpine scope (Switzerland, Austria and Czech Republic). You will be responsible for coordinating accounting activities, preparing financial reporting, recording and monitoring accounting transactions, ensuring compliance with local tax regulations, and last but not least, contributing to the implementation of new accounting and P2P tools and processes. At Electra, we always try to be best in class when it comes to tools and process automation - and this aspect is key to this position.

In coordination with the Finance Manager Alpine and the HQ Finance Team, you will be responsible for:

Month-End & Year-End Closing / General Accounting

• In charge of delivering and controlling the statutory accounts across all three geographies (Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic), each under its own local GAAP
• Guarantee the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the general ledger and of every sub-ledger (accounts payable, accounts receivable, fixed assets, intercompany, accruals) across the Alpine entities
• Own the full month-end and year-end accounting cycle, including balance-sheet reconciliations, and ensure the books are always audit-ready
• Define, document and enforce consistent accounting policies and closing procedures across the three geographies, bridging local GAAP with group reporting standards
• Support in the financial audits in direct collaboration with the external auditors
• Act as full back-up to the accountant on day-to-day accounting, guaranteeing continuity of operations across the Alpine entities

Tax & Compliance

• Prepare VAT declarations (Switzerland & Austria)
• Ensure compliance with local accounting and tax regulations

Tools & Process Improvement

• Drive optimization and automation of finance processes, including AI-enabled initiatives
• Develop and maintain reporting tools, dashboards, and KPIs to strengthen financial steering and data quality across the entities
• Bilanzbuchhalter certification (or equivalent accounting qualification); a degree in accounting, finance, or a related field is a plus
• 5+ years of solid hands-on accounting background, gained either in an accounting firm / fiduciary or in industry
• Strong knowledge of accounting principles, local tax regulations, and VAT requirements
• Solid understanding of local statutory accounting requirements and audit processes (local GAAP, statutory financial statements, tax calculations, and VAT reporting)
• Experience as an external auditor is considered a plus
• Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a proactive, solution-oriented mindset
• Experience with SAP (or another ERP); exposure to finance transformation projects is a plus
• Ability to manage multiple priorities, meet deadlines, and thrive in a fast-paced environment
• Fluent in German and English (French or Czech considered a plus)
• Advanced Excel skills and familiarity with financial reporting tools
• A great opportunity in a fast-growing scale-up
• An entrepreneurial journey with real impact
• A motivated and passionate team of 300 + professionals
• A flexible, inclusive, and international work environment
• An attractive compensation package (base + bonus)
