About Us

Welcome at tozero, Europe's leading deep-tech startup specializing in the recycling of lithium‑ion batteries. Committed to accelerating decarbonization and transforming the material life‑cycle, we’re actively crafting sustainable recycling solutions for a cleaner and more innovative future.

What We're Looking For

  • Drive non‑equity financing efforts, securing CAPEX funding and project financing, and building strong relationships with banks, financial institutions, and grant providers
  • Shape and steer our financial vision, designing strategies that meet today’s needs while positioning us for long‑term growth
  • Head financial operations across the company, from budgeting, forecasting, and cash management to analysis and accounting — while being hands‑on in the early stages to establish a solid foundation
  • Act as the lead partner to the CEO and leadership team on financial strategy, while also preparing insightful reports for the advisory board
  • Provide oversight of budgeting and performance management, creating transparency through effective reporting tools, KPIs, and dashboards
  • Guide process improvements and operational efficiency projects, leveraging financial data and insights to support decision‑making
  • Ensure compliance and governance by overseeing the control environment, audits, and tax matters in collaboration with external advisors

Your profile

  • Proven experience in non‑equity financing for CAPEX and/or project financing, with the ability to engage directly with banks, project financiers, and funding partners
  • Strong track record in financial analysis, modeling, and reporting, with the ability to translate data into actionable insights
  • Strategic thinker with the ability to design and execute financial strategies that align with the company’s growth vision
  • Comfortable taking a hands‑on FinOps role initially, setting up systems and processes before scaling the finance function and building a team
  • Skilled in stakeholder management, with effectiveness in collaborating across teams and engaging diverse financiers, advisors, and partners
  • Energetic and positive approach to Finance & Strategy, seeing them as enablers of growth rather than back‑office functions
  • Entrepreneurial mindset, with adaptability to the fast‑moving, dynamic nature of the green tech/startup environment
  • Several years of experience in financial management, investment banking, project financing, or strategic consulting, ideally complemented by leadership experience in a senior role
  • Fluency in spoken and written English and German

Why us?

  • Free Snacks and Drinks: Stay energized with a variety of snacks and beverages throughout the day.
  • Jobticket: Enjoy a fully subsidized Deutschlandticket for convenient commuting across Germany.
  • Wellpass: Access to a wide network of gyms, wellness centers, and fitness classes to support your health and well‑being.
  • Dynamic Startup Environment: Be part of an exciting and fast‑paced startup culture, collaborating with experts in the field and contributing to cutting‑edge projects that make a real difference in sustainability.
