Job description

At Joko, our mission is to we help consumers save time and money when shopping online or in-store.

Founded in Paris, Joko is a tech company and certified B Corp with over 120 talents across Paris, Barcelona, and New York (and beyond). More than 7 million users already save money every day at 10,000+ merchants with Joko.

From cashback and automatic coupons to price alerts, we've kept expanding our products to make shopping smarter. Today, Joko is an AI shopping app: with Juno, our shopping assistant, users can find the right product at the best price in only a few seconds, with recommendations that get sharper the more they use it.

Having reached profitability in our core market, we're now scaling globally, with a strong focus on the US.

It's still day 1, come build the future of shopping with us!

OUR FINANCE TEAM

The Finance team ensures Joko's financial health and long-term success. We manage everything from financial planning and accounting to financing and cash management.

We make sure every euro is put to its best use, working closely with all teams, we provide the insights and structure needed to scale efficiently.

As we scale, we're splitting Finance into three specialized poles: FP&A, Finance Operations (Financial Control & Accounting), and Procurement. This role anchors Finance Operations (Financial Control & Accounting) - the pole that keeps Joko's financial information accurate, timely, and audit-ready. You'll report directly to Quentin, our COO.

WHY THIS ROLE IS SPECIAL

• You set the standards, not just follow them: as the pole's first hire, the processes, controls, and calendar you establish now become the backbone the rest of Finance builds on.
• A true partner in automation: you'll work hand-in-hand with a dedicated BizOps partner to automate what can be automated - this isn't a role where you're expected to grind through manual work alone.
• International scope from day one: France, the US, and future markets - you'll help build the multi-entity, multi-country accounting backbone as Joko expands.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

As Finance Manager, Finance Operations (Financial Control & Accounting), your main mission is to own the reliability, timeliness, and completeness of Joko's financial information. Rather than doing the bookkeeping - we have an external accounting partner for that - you set the standards, drive the calendar, and hold your internal and external stakeholders accountable.

• Drive the closing calendar: own the monthly and annual closing calendar, holding our external accounting partner and auditors to a high standard;
• Own our legal reporting package: make sure the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement are always accurate and delivered on time;
• Oversee AP/AR end to end: keep invoicing, payment runs, and collections under control;
• Lead our international accounting build-out: as we open new entities and markets, including our IFRS consolidation framework;
• Own cash management: reconciliation, yield optimization, and day-to-day treasury;
• Be the main point of contact for our banking and accounting partners, and a key interface for auditors as we scale toward IPO readiness;
• Continuously strengthen and document our financial processes and controls, working hand-in-hand with a dedicated BizOps partner to automate what can be automated, making everything more robust and less error-prone as the company scales.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Experience: 4-8 years, with a strong foundation in accounting or audit (Big 4 or equivalent), ideally combined with in-house experience in a scale-up.
• Education: A master's degree from a top business school. A double degree in accounting (DCG/DSCG) is a plus.
• Financial rigor: Deep understanding of French GAAP and treasury fundamentals - you bring the same discipline to a closing cycle as you do to a cash position.
• International mindset: Excited to build a multi-entity, multi-country accounting backbone as we expand; IFRS exposure is a plus.
• Stakeholder management: You build trust with partners inside and outside Joko, and you're comfortable holding them accountable.
• Problem solving: You dig into the root cause and fix things.
• AI centricity: You use AI in your daily work today, and you're excited to help automate reporting and reconciliation as part of Joko's AI-first finance ambition.
• Languages: Fluent French and English.
