Our Mission For You
Shape the financial backbone of a scaling energy-tech company where your work directly unlocks growth and builds the infrastructure for the Energiewende.
trawa enables mid-sized companies to access green, intelligent energy. We're growing fast, operating in one of the most complex markets in Germany, and we need someone who combines strategic thinking with the willingness to roll up their sleeves. You'll work across our entire Finance function, from building critical processes that determine how fast we grow, to jumping into the day-to-day when it matters. Real impact from day one.
What You'll Own
Build & Scale Finance Processes
Own and develop critical Finance processes end-to-end, with a focus on Accounting operations and Treasury fundamentals like cash planning and bank management
Drive automation across Finance workflows: identify inefficiencies, design solutions, implement tools
Jump into daily Finance operations when it matters: reconciliations, payment runs, compliance questions, you take ownership
Drive Strategic Projects
Contribute to cross-functional initiatives: ERP rollout, Audit preparation, international expansion
Manage strategic external relationships hands-on: banks, energy partners, auditors, from preparing materials to driving execution
Provide financial input for strategic decisions, from partnership structures to financing frameworks
Your First 90 Days
Month 1: Understand our business model, energy market complexity, and Finance process landscape. Meet key stakeholders, banks, auditors, energy partners, and take first ownership of recurring operational tasks.
Month 2: Take over core Finance processes in Accounting or Treasury. Stabilize what exists, identify the highest-impact inefficiency, and deliver a first automation or process improvement.
Month 3: Own your processes end-to-end and start building what doesn't exist yet. Shape how we structure Treasury, scale our Accounting operations, and drive strategic projects that directly unlock trawa's growth.
