Job description

Join us and be a part of shaping the future of urban mobility!

Some complain about traffic but some are actually doing something about it. Join us on our mission to reduce traffic in Istanbul by increasing the accessibility of sustainable shared mobility.

Who are we?

Volt Lines is the only technology-enabled player in the Turkish market competing against legacy incumbents and it reduces emissions and traffic by turning premium 16-seater buses into a viable alternative to single occupancy vehicles.

What we do?

In Istanbul, over 50,000 buses operate at 31% efficiency. These buses, which contribute to the city's traffic with empty seats, could also be the solution to its problem. Volt Lines is the only shuttle service provider that has both software as well as a transport service. This allows for optimal harmonization of the software and operation resulting in the creation of great experiences and services. Notable examples of these innovative services include DRT and Marketplace. DRT (short for Demand-Responsive Transport) was covered by a Harvard Business School case study that is being taught at the MBA school. Marketplace on the other hand allows companies to sell empty seats on their buses to neighboring passengers who are going in the same direction at the same time.

Let's work together to shape the future of mobility.

As the Financial Planning & Controlling Executive, you will be the architectural lead for our financial health. You will own the entire financial lifecycle—from the granular accuracy of the 2-person accounting team to high-level rolling forecasts that drive our strategic decisions. This is a "player-coach" role requiring high-level IFRS/Local GAAP knowledge, operational rigor in fleet management, and the ability to manage external stakeholders (banks/tax authorities) with finesse.

Responsibilities

Financial Planning & Analysis (FP )

• Own the "Landing" (2x/month), Monthly Closing, and Rolling Forecasts.
• Transform raw data into actionable insights, specifically regarding fleet performance and unit economics.
• Monitor macro-economic indicators (CPI/PPI, fuel parity) to proactively adjust pricing and cost structures.

Financial Control & Operations

• Full Statement Ownership: End-to-end responsibility for the P , Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow statements.
• Treasury: Manage liquidity, FX exposure (crucial for TR operations), and bank relationships.
• Governance: Act as a checkpoint for payroll execution, variable incentive calculations, and all employee/driver payouts.

Compliance

• Tax & Audit: Manage tax accruals, maintain the relationship with the Tax Office, and support the annual external audit process.
• Process Improvement: Build the "guardrails" for expenses and payouts to ensure zero leakage.

Requirements

• Experience: 6–8 years in Finance/Accounting, with at least 3 years in a managerial or Senior FP capacity.
• Language: Native Turkish speaker with excellent English (written and verbal) for reporting and C-suite collaboration.
• Technical: Advanced Excel/Financial Modeling is a must; experience with ERPs (e.g., Logo, SAP, Oracle) and IFRS reporting is highly preferred.
• Industry: Experience in logistics, fleet management, or operationally heavy sectors is a massive plus.

Benefits

• Innovative Environment: Volt Lines operates in a fast-growing, innovative industry, offering opportunities to work on impactful projects with cutting-edge technology.
• Career Growth: Volt Lines is committed to employee development, offering opportunities for career progression, training, and skill enhancement.
• Work-Life Balance: Volt Lines offers flexible working hours as well as a flexible paid time-off policy that promotes a healthy work-life balance.
• Startup Culture: Volt Lines embodies a startup environment that promotes creativity, autonomy, and innovation, providing employees with the freedom to take initiative and make decisions.
• Inclusive Work Culture: Volt Lines values different perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences, and fosters an inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive.
• Impact on Urban Mobility: Volt Lines focuses on revolutionizing urban transportation and sustainability, giving employees a chance to contribute to a purpose-driven mission.
• Compensation and Benefits: Volt Lines offers its employees a best-in-class equity program (RSUs), the chance to earn up to 20 salaries in a year, private health insurance, food and transportation allowances among other perks.
