It’s still day 1, come build the future of shopping with us!

The Finance team ensures Joko's financial health and long-term success. We manage everything from financial planning and accounting to financing and cash management.

We make sure every euro is put to its best use, working closely with all teams, we provide the insights and structure needed to scale efficiently.

As we scale, we're splitting Finance into three specialized poles: FP&A, Finance Operations, and Procurement. This role anchors Finance Operations — the pole that keeps Joko's financial information accurate, timely, and audit-ready. You'll report directly to Tanguy, our VP Finance.

Finance Operations is a brand-new specialized pole at Joko — previously bundled into a single generalist Finance Manager role. You'll be the first person to own this scope end to end, with direct visibility to the VP Finance and real influence over how the function is built as the company scales past 200 people across multiple geographies.

• You set the standards, not just follow them: as the pole's first hire, the processes, controls, and calendar you establish now become the backbone the rest of Finance builds on.

• A true partner in automation: you'll work hand-in-hand with a dedicated BizOps partner to automate what can be automated — this isn't a role where you're expected to grind through manual work alone.

• International scope from day one: France, the US, and future markets — you'll help build the multi-entity, multi-country accounting backbone as Joko expands.

As Finance Manager, Finance Operations, your main mission is to own the reliability, timeliness, and completeness of Joko's financial information. Rather than doing the bookkeeping — we have an external accounting partner for that — you set the standards, drive the calendar, and hold your internal and external stakeholders accountable.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Drive the closing calendar: own the monthly and annual closing calendar, holding our external accounting partner and auditors to a high standard;

• Own our legal reporting package: make sure the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement are always accurate and delivered on time;

• Oversee AP/AR end to end: keep invoicing, payment runs, and collections under control;

• Lead our international accounting build-out: as we open new entities and markets, including our IFRS consolidation framework;

• Own cash management: reconciliation, yield optimization, and day-to-day treasury;

• Be the main point of contact for our banking and accounting partners, and a key interface for auditors as we scale toward IPO readiness;

• Continuously strengthen and document our financial processes and controls, working hand-in-hand with a dedicated BizOps partner to automate what can be automated, making everything more robust and less error-prone as the company scales.

• Experience: 4–8 years, with a strong foundation in accounting or audit (Big 4 or equivalent), ideally combined with in-house experience in a scale-up.

• Education: A master's degree from a top business school. A double degree in accounting (DCG/DSCG) is a plus.

• Financial rigor: Deep understanding of French GAAP and treasury fundamentals — you bring the same discipline to a closing cycle as you do to a cash position.

• International mindset: Excited to build a multi-entity, multi-country accounting backbone as we expand; IFRS exposure is a plus.

• Stakeholder management: You build trust with partners inside and outside Joko, and you're comfortable holding them accountable.

• Problem solving: You dig into the root cause and fix things.

• AI centricity: You use AI in your daily work today, and you're excited to help automate reporting and reconciliation as part of Joko's AI-first finance ambition.

• Languages: Fluent French and English.
