LionVolt WAH

Company description
LionVolt is a deep-tech startup working on a revolutionary battery using a 3D anode architecture that will boost battery performance and bring an important contribution to achieving global net zero goals. A step change in battery performance is in high demand from our application markets, and our architecture boosts energy density and charging rates without compromising safety and duration/life.

Our multinational and highly diverse team consists of 50 people across multiple locations. Our innovation centre is based at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, a leading European innovation hub, and we have a cell manufacturing facility in Scotland.  In addition, we are expanding our manufacturing capacity with a new production line at the Brainport Industries Campus (BIC) in Eindhoven, giving us everything we need to realise our innovation.

As Financial Controller, you’ll play a central role in shaping and professionalizing LionVolt’s financial operations.

You’ll also support strategic financial topics such as cap table management and investor reporting, and assist with legal and financial preparations for upcoming funding rounds.

This is a role for someone who gets excited about helping build a fast-growing company — someone who wants to leave their mark on processes, systems, and structure, and who enjoys the mix of operational finance and strategic involvement.
