Company Overview
Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most. At Joby, we've been working to make that dream a reality since 2009 and we're now in the final stages of certifying our aircraft with the FAA. With plans to launch our aircraft in the US and Dubai, we're now scaling manufacturing and preparing for the launch of our commercial service.
Overview
This role will require you to provide world class financial leadership and support as we develop partnerships and initiatives that will accelerate aircraft development and go-to-market efforts, including advanced hydrogen-electric, turbine-electric, and autonomous versions of the Joby aircraft. You will work with senior internal company stakeholders to develop and review complex financial models and provide strategic analysis and advice to optimally structure these initiatives. Strong communication skills, an entrepreneurial mindset and deep business/financial acumen are required for success, as this role works across all levels and functions of the Joby organization and regularly engages executive leadership.
You will work closely with the Finance team, the CFO and support the wider Strategy, Policy, Operations, Legal, and Product teams. You will help build and lead large scale partnerships from the ground up, and your contribution will be key to unlocking the delivery and scaling of this exciting new service.
The ideal candidate will have expert-level financial modeling skills, a strong command of finance and accounting concepts, exceptional analytical abilities, and the judgment to operate effectively in highly ambiguous and confidential environments. The ideal candidate is a confident and effective presenter who can balance strategic thinking with attention to detail while moving quickly in a results-driven environment.
