ABOUT THE COMPANY

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

We're looking for a strategic and hands-on
Head of Finance
to lead all aspects of finance at
tozero
, with a specific focus on financing our first industrial-scale plant.

You'll build and lead a finance function capable of supporting our next stage of growth – from securing major CAPEX funding to enabling full-scale recycling operations.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

  • Lead our financing strategy
    : Secure non-dilutive funding to build and scale our first industrial site – through a mix of grants, structured debt, and public-private funding mechanisms
  • Own key financial relationships
    : Build and maintain partnerships with banks, public funding bodies, infrastructure financiers, and grant providers
  • Own the finance function
    : Lead all core finance operations – budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, financial planning, accounting, and reporting
  • Be hands-on
    : In the early stages, be hands-on in setting up processes, systems, and tools that will serve as the foundation for scale
  • Strategic partner
    : Work closely with the CEO and leadership team to inform investment planning, capital allocation, and long-term financial strategy
  • Reporting & governance
    : Prepare board-level reporting, track performance metrics, and ensure financial governance, compliance, and audit readiness
  • Support scaling
    : Lay the groundwork for a finance team structure that can scale with the business

WHAT YOU BRING

  • Proven experience in CAPEX-heavy, project-based financing (e.g. infrastructure, manufacturing, energy, or industrial tech projects)
  • A strong network and/or working knowledge of banks, public funding agencies, venture debt, or infrastructure investors
  • Ability to structure and close complex financing deals (ideally across grants, debt, and equity instruments)
  • Strong financial planning, modeling, and analytical skills – and the ability to connect numbers to strategy
  • Experience building and leading a finance function from the ground up in a startup or scaleup environment
  • Hands-on and proactive working style, with the willingness to operate across strategy and execution
  • Strong stakeholder and partner management skills, both internally (team, board) and externally (financiers, advisors)
  • A growth mindset and entrepreneurial spirit, especially in the context of deeptech / industrial ventures
  • Fluent in English and German
