Ever wanted to tell people, “Yeah, I helped launch the future of transportation”? Well, here’s your shot. At Vay, we’re flipping the script on mobility with Remote driving—delivering cars to customers with zero hassle and zero driver inside, offering a unique by the minute car rental service.

Our journey so far since our launch in 2018:

Revolutionary remote driving tech- We built the world’s first commercial remote driving product.

Breaking boundaries across continents- First to roll out vehicles in both Europe and the USA on public roads without a human being inside & one of only two companies in the States operating a commercial driverless service.

  • Build dynamic models to forecast operating and financial outcomes (e.g., unit economics, labor efficiency, fleet utilization)

  • Partner with Ops, Product, and Growth to support capital allocation, cost control, and revenue growth

Corporate Development (25%)

  • Support strategic transactions including fundraising, acquisitions, and partnerships

  • Conduct market and competitor analysis to strengthen M&A and investment theses

  • Collaborate on valuation models, due diligence, and post-deal integration planning

  • Present clear, compelling recommendations to senior leadership

What are we looking for:

  • 6–8 years in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, consulting, or corporate development

  • Exceptional modeling and Excel skills (SQL or BI tools are a plus)

  • Strong executive communication and storytelling skills

  • A track record of driving cross-functional initiatives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments

  • Experience in high-growth, operationally complex industries like mobility, logistics, fleet, or SaaS

  • Sharp problem-solving skills with a knack for translating complexity into actionable insight

  • CPA, CFA, or MBA is a plus, but not a must

  • Low ego, collaborative spirit, and a strong bias for action
