M-KOPA Solar Jobs. Mobility Finance Manager driving asset finance strategy, portfolio performance management, and EV business financial operations, requiring a Finance/Accounting Degree, professional qualification (CPA/ACCA), and 6+ years finance experience. What this role actually is - This is a hands-on, high-ownership position. You will be the finance lead for a standalone entity — the person responsible for the monthly management reporting pack, the CFO-level executive commentary, the IFRS 9 Expected Credit Loss model, the lender and treasury compliance, and the unit economics that inform commercial decisions across multiple OEM brands. - You’ll manage the end-to-end monthly close: accruals, prepayments, intercompany, depreciation, FX. You’ll produce the variance analysis that isolates brand-mix effects from one-off items. You’ll monitor the loan book, analyse repayment behaviour by cohort, and own provisioning and bad debt trends. You’ll lead lender reporting and covenant compliance, manage drawdown documentation, and support due diligence processes. - And then — because this is Mobility — you’ll also be a commercial partner. You’ll sit alongside the commercial team to interrogate OEM economics, model new product launches, assess new supply agreements, and build the financial cases for board presentations and grant proposals. - This is not a role where the strategy happens upstairs and the finance team keeps score. You’ll shape both. What makes it different - Most finance roles at this level have inherited structures, established processes, and reporting cadences that largely run themselves. This one doesn’t. The tools, the workbooks, the ways of working — these are yours to design. You’ll identify automation opportunities, build controls from scratch, and ensure IFRS compliance in areas where judgement genuinely matters: IFRS 9, IFRS 16, IAS 21, revenue recognition, IFRS 18 readiness. - You’ll also have direct exposure to development finance and climate finance — two fast-growing fields where M-KOPA’s electric mobility business sits at an increasingly interesting intersection. Lender relationships here aren’t purely commercial. They span impact investors, development finance institutions, and climate finance structures. That’s a professional education you can’t buy. Qualifications - Qualified Chartered Accountant (CPA(K), ACCA, CA or equivalent), with a demonstrable track record in finance management or a senior finance role, including hands-on ownership of statutory and management reporting cycles. - Deep, applied IFRS knowledge — particularly IFRS 9, IFRS 16, IAS 21, and revenue recognition — and proven ability to manage audit processes end-to-end, from file preparation to auditor queries. - Exceptional financial modelling and communication skills: you can build a complex multi-scenario model in Excel and present its conclusions clearly to a CFO or a lender in the same week. - Big 4 training (PwC, Deloitte, EY, KPMG) is a strong advantage. Working knowledge of the East African electric mobility sector is a plus, though not required — curiosity and commercial instincts matter more. The reality check - This role will ask a lot of you. The entity is scaling fast, the reporting obligations are real, and the lender relationships require precision. There will be months where the close feels tight and the audit feels relentless. You’ll be operating across strategic and operational levels simultaneously — and some days the most important thing on your plate will be debugging an ECL model, not presenting to the board. - If that sounds manageable, it probably is. If it sounds energising — you’re probably the right person. ### How to Apply Click here to apply ## Apply Use the canonical Prime Job Alerts page for full application instructions and source verification.
