Introducing Masabi

// At Masabi, we’re driving the fare payment revolution, powering the journeys of millions all over the world. We build fare collection platforms that allow riders to seamlessly buy and present tickets for public transport either on their mobile phones, from a ticket machine, or even by tapping their bank card to travel.

Our Justride platform is used in over 250 locations globally, including some of the largest cities in the world. With our industry-first mobile ticketing SDK, we’ve partnered with large players in the transport space, including Uber, Moovit and Transit.

The Role_

// We’re looking for a VP of FP&A to help take Masabi’s financial planning function to the next level. This role isn’t just about reporting and oversight, it’s about building a forward-looking, commercially minded FP&A team that delivers clarity, drives performance, and supports growth.

You’ll bring structure to our budgeting and forecasting cycles, build models that reflect how we sell, deliver, and renew, and work closely across departments to ensure financial thinking becomes embedded in everyday decisions.

You’ll be a key partner to the CFO and executive team, shaping how we tell our financial story and make strategic choices. As we implement new planning infrastructure, your leadership will help teams access timely insights, streamline reporting, and operate with greater confidence and accountability.
