Ever imagined saying, “I helped launch the future of transportation”?

We’re rewriting the rules of urban mobility. At Vay, customers tap a button and a car arrives - with no one inside - powered by our world-first Remote Driving technology on real public streets.

We’re live in Las Vegas and scaling fast, powered by a strategic investment of up to $410 million from Grab. Our mission is simple: replace private car ownership with a faster, cleaner, door-to-door mobility model. If you want to build something real, visible, and genuinely transformative, you’ll feel right at home here.

What’s happening at Vay

First to roll out vehicles in both Europe and the USA on public roads without a human being inside & currently the 2nd largest commercial, driverless car fleet in the Western World.

We've partnered with Kodiak to bring remote-driving technology to autonomous trucks in the US, showcasing our ability to integrate our system into heavy-duty commercial vehicles and expand the applications of our tech across the US.

We’ve completed over 150,000 trips so far and are busy multiplying our Las Vegas fleet just to meet demand!

...And soon we’ll be expanding across the US & Europe 🚀

Why this role is exciting

Build, don’t just maintain: Help develop and scale Vay’s accounting function during a transformational period of growth, creating the processes and controls where none exist yet.

Complex, multi-entity scope: Own core close responsibilities across multiple entities and countries, with real exposure to IFRS consolidations and technical accounting.

Shape how finance works: Use AI and automation to modernize the close, and contribute to systems, audit readiness, and management reporting as a trusted senior member of the team.

What you’ll be driving

Own key month-end close functions: Handle journal entries, account reconciliations, variance analysis, consolidations, intercompany, and foreign currency accounting across multiple entities and countries, and help shorten the close cycle.

Build and improve accounting processes: Develop new processes and reconciliations for areas without established procedures, and strengthen existing processes, internal controls, finance systems, audit readiness, and management reporting.

Navigate technical accounting: Research and conclude on accounting treatment for new or complex transactions with no established precedent.

Document procedures and policies: Create and maintain clear documentation of processes, controls, and accounting positions so the team can run them consistently as we scale.

Automate the close: Identify and help implement AI and automation to reduce manual month-end work.

Partner with FP&A and the business: Maintain and reconcile accruals and review monthly budget vs. actuals.

Support audit and tax: Prepare accurate audit deliverables and state and regulatory tax filings.

Guide junior team members: Share knowledge and support less experienced teammates on close tasks and complex transactions.
