Finance Manager - Santa Monica, CA

Santa Monica, California, United States

Company Overview

At Veo, we are on a mission to end car dependency by making clean transportation accessible to all and advancing the next generation of fully electric micromobility systems. Our fleets are constantly evolving and feature a range of vehicles - from pedal and electric bicycles, to standing and seated e-scooters, e-cargo bikes, and ADA accessible devices. We design and build our own vehicles, hardware, and software systems in house and run all our local operations to provide safe, efficient, and responsive mobility services that make communities more sustainable and livable.  We are looking for exceptionally talented individuals who are ready to develop and implement new solutions to these exciting challenges. 

Why This Role Is Important:

Veo is entering its next stage of scale. We are evolving from a founder-led, spreadsheet-driven environment into a disciplined, systems-enabled finance organization that drives strategic decision-making across the business.

This Finance Manager will lead that evolution. This is not a reporting role. This is a build-and-lead mandate.

You will own FP&A transformation, upgrade financial systems and reporting infrastructure, and partner directly with executive leadership to drive financial rigor, operational efficiency, and business accountability.

This role requires someone who has done this before — who has modernized reporting, led FP&A system migrations, and partnered with operational leaders to raise financial capability across the organization.

This position reports directly to the CFO and serves as a key leader within Finance.

 

Overview:

The Finance Manager will play a dual-role supporting Veo’s Finance and Operations leadership. Approximately 60% of this role focuses on building advanced financial models, operational dashboards, forecasting tools, pricing and margin analysis, and data-driven insights that drive strategic decision-making across the business.

The remaining 40% of the role supports corporate operations—including procurement, state and local compliance, insurance administration, and AP optimization—helping improve efficiency, reduce operational risk, and strengthen internal controls.

The ideal candidate is a strong financial modeler with cross-functional operations experience. They thrive in a fast-paced, data-rich environment and can translate complex datasets into clear business actions while also improving company processes, vendor performance, and compliance execution.

Core Responsibilities: 

Financial Analytics & Strategic Modeling (60%)

Own and elevate Veo’s financial planning and analytics function.

  • Lead transition from spreadsheet-based reporting to a scalable FP&A platform (e.g., Jirav, Cube, Fathom, etc.).
  • Design and implement forecasting, budgeting, and long-range planning frameworks.
  • Build executive-ready dashboards and KPI packages across revenue, unit economics, fleet performance, cost structure, and market profitability.
  • Create scenario modeling frameworks for pricing strategy, city expansion, capital deployment, and margin optimization.
  • Establish standard definitions, data governance, and reporting cadence across the company.
  • Lead monthly performance reviews with department leaders and hold teams accountable to financial targets.

You will be expected to run the current process while you architect the new system.

Corporate Operations & Business Enablement (40%)

      Procurement & Vendor Administration

  • Oversee vendor spend analysis and contract lifecycle management.
  • Drive SaaS and technology cost rationalization initiatives.
  • Implement procurement controls and reporting discipline.
  • Lead and manage vendor negotiations through financial analysis.

      State, Local & Regulatory Compliance

  • Own financial data and process to managing state, city, and municipal compliance filings.
  • Implement tracking systems for permits, renewals, and reporting obligations.
  • Reduce operational risk through improved documentation and workflows.

      Insurance & Risk Administration

  • Maintain insurance cost tracking models and spend databases.
  • Assist with premium allocation modeling, budgeting, and ongoing policy analysis.
  • Support business with COI requests and needs.

      AP & Finance Operations Optimization

  • Optimize AP workflows and vendor file structure.
  • Improve expense management controls.
  • Strengthen internal reporting tied to the chart of authority.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • 8+ years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, corporate finance analytics, or related fields.
  • Prior experience leading FP&A transformation or implementing an FP&A platform.
  • Experience in high-growth or operationally complex environments (mobility, logistics, hardware-enabled businesses, multi-market operators preferred).
  • Expert-level financial modeling, forecasting, and quantitative analysis skills with advanced Excel/Sheets and BI experience
  • Strong systems experience (FP&A platforms, ERP integrations, BI tools)
  • Advanced Excel/Sheets; working SQL proficiency required.
  • Experience working with large operational datasets.
  • Familiarity with procurement, insurance admin, AP workflows, or compliance reporting preferred.
  • Highly organized and deadline-driven, capable of balancing analytics, reporting, and cross-team operational execution.
  • Excellent communicator who can collaborate with senior leadership and field teams.
  • Comfortable working in ambiguity, building structure from incomplete information, and improving processes at scale.
  • High ownership mentality; thrives in high-expectation environments.

 

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Competitive Compensation Package that consists of a base salary range of $120,000 - $150,000 + Annual Performance Bonus + Equity (Stock Options) + Full Range of Benefits. 
    • Veo is a total compensation company, and pay is determined by geographic cost of labor and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training - so not all candidates will be eligible for the upper end of the salary range. 
    • Our total compensation package for this role, including bonus potential, ranges from $120,000 - $160,000
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Competitive Benefits Package (Medical, Dental, Vision, Short Term Disability and more!) 
  • 401k with 3% match 
  • Opportunity to work in a fast-paced technology company

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
