What awaits you
At Instagrid, you are part of the clean-tech revolution by bringing pure energy into your region, helping professional workers transitioning away from combustion generators and making it possible for them to experience a safe, efficient, clean and silent energy solution.
Your mission
As Head of Group Accounting & Finance Transformation, your mission is to build and continuously evolve the financial backbone of our company. You scale the finance organization in line with a business growing rapidly in revenue, geographic footprint, and operational complexity.

16. Challenge existing processes and leverage modern finance technologies
17. Partner closely with the CFO and leadership team to align the finance organization with broader business objectives
18. Build and develop a high-performing finance organization with a culture of continuous improvement and accountability
19. Support and oversee tax-related topics where required while keeping the primary focus on accounting excellence, scalability, systems, and finance transformation
What you bring
20. University degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field, with several years of progressive experience in international, multi-entity environments
21. Proven track record in driving automation, AI, or systems implementation within Finance
22. Strong curiosity for emerging technologies and the ability to translate them into scalable operational improvements
23. Hands-on, pragmatic mindset with a strong focus on execution and business impact
24. Ability to lead and develop high-performing teams in a fast-moving growth environment
