How to Apply for Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

at In-Charge Energy

🏢 About In-Charge Energy

In-Charge Energy is accelerating transportation electrification specifically for commercial fleets, targeting large-scale emissions reduction rather than consumer EV charging. The company is building a market-leading EV infrastructure platform in a rapidly growing sector with significant environmental impact. This presents a unique opportunity to shape financial strategy in a mission-driven company at the forefront of sustainable transportation solutions.

About This Role

This CFO role uniquely combines financial leadership with oversight of the People (HR) function, requiring both strategic financial planning and organizational development expertise. You'll be responsible for the full finance function including accounting, FP&A, and capital strategy while partnering directly with the CEO on company strategy. The role demands someone who can build scalable systems for a growing EV infrastructure platform while ensuring alignment between financial performance and workforce planning.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing capital deployment strategies for new charging infrastructure projects while simultaneously working with the People team on workforce planning for expansion markets. You'd likely spend time analyzing financial models for fleet electrification contracts, meeting with the CEO to align financial and operational priorities, and developing scalable processes for both finance and HR functions as the company grows.
