About Hypervolt Limited
Hypervolt is one of the world’s highest-rated energy transition companies, offering the industry’s most advanced platform for electric vehicle charging. With an end-to-end range of software and hardware products designed from the ground up, the company operates across multiple markets from its headquarters in Singapore and its operating hubs across the world in our global markets. Hypervolt is founder-led, extremely capital-efficient, and scaling rapidly — with a lean operating model that prioritises long-term enterprise value creation on zero external capital dependency.
This is the first senior finance hire at the group level, and the scope reflects that. The VP of Finance, Group will be responsible for two distinct but interconnected mandates: overseeing the financial organisation of a fast-scaling technology and hardware business across the UK and Singapore, and establishing a Treasury & Investment platform in Singapore to deploy the group’s retained earnings and excess cash into a diversified portfolio.
This is a build-it role. The right person will design the group’s financial architecture, stand up the treasury function, implement the transfer pricing framework, and set the controls that will underpin the company’s next phase of growth. It carries the breadth and strategic weight of a CFO position — and is expected to evolve into one as the platform matures and the group scales. In the near term, the VP of Finance will also work closely with the CEO and the Chief Investment Officer to define and benchmark the capital allocation strategy.
The role demands someone who is equally comfortable running a multi-entity P&L as they are engaging with institutional-grade investment discussions. Candidates from technology and hardware companies, asset management firms, family offices, hedge funds, and sovereign wealth funds are all in scope — what matters is the combination of operational finance leadership and strong financial acumen.
The VP of Finance will own the consolidated financial reporting, planning, and control framework across all Hypervolt entities — including the UK operating company, the Singapore holding entity, and any future subsidiaries as the group expands geographically. They will lead annual budgeting, quarterly forecasting, and long-range financial planning, and will serve as the primary financial counterparty to the CEO on all strategic decisions, from capital allocation to market entry to M&A evaluation. This person will have a direct line to the CEO and a seat at the table on every major business decision — this is not a reporting function.
With a Singapore‑headquartered group operating across multiple jurisdictions (including the UK and other key markets), transfer pricing and intercompany governance are central to tax compliance, auditability, and regulatory hygiene. The VP of Finance will design, implement, and maintain a robust transfer pricing framework that ensures arm’s‑length pricing across all intercompany transactions — including management charges, IP licensing, intercompany services, and cost‑sharing arrangements. They must ensure compliance with applicable transfer pricing rules and documentation requirements across the Group, including HMRC (UK) and IRAS (Singapore) guidance, and be prepared to defend the Group’s positions under audit. Direct experience structuring and operating intercompany arrangements in a Singapore‑centred multi‑entity group (UK–Singapore or comparable cross‑border context) is essential.
The VP of Finance will own the group’s tax strategy across jurisdictions, with a particular focus on optimising the group’s effective tax rate while maintaining full compliance. This includes leveraging Singapore’s competitive corporate tax regime — including potential incentive schemes such as the Global Trader Programme, Financial Sector Incentive, or Pioneer Certificate where applicable — managing UK corporation tax obligations, and ensuring VAT/GST compliance across all operating markets. Familiarity with the Pillar Two global minimum tax framework and its implications for a scaling multi-entity group is expected.
The VP of Finance will establish and lead the group treasury function from scratch. This encompasses cash flow forecasting, liquidity management, bank relationship management, and FX risk mitigation across GBP, SGD, USD, and EUR exposures. Given the group’s capital-efficient model and strong cash generation, treasury is a core strategic function — not a back-office afterthought. The role includes oversight of banking relationships across both digital platforms (such as Revolut Business) and traditional institutions (such as DBS and OCBC), and responsibility for optimising the group’s working capital position and cash deployment strategy.
Hypervolt’s long-term capital allocation strategy is anchored by Phalanx, the group’s Singapore-based Treasury & Investment platform. Phalanx exists to deploy retained earnings and excess cash into a diversified portfolio of assets, with an overriding emphasis on stability, capital preservation, and compounding over long time horizons.
The capital allocation strategy — how much to deploy, into which asset classes, at what risk tolerance, and over what time horizon — will be defined collaboratively by the CEO, the VP of Finance, and the Chief Investment Officer (or equivalent investment lead). This is a shared strategic responsibility, not one that any single role determines in isolation. The VP of Finance is expected to be a full participant in shaping and benchmarking that strategy, bringing rigour around liquidity requirements, tax implications of different allocation approaches, and the interplay between operating cash needs and deployment capacity.
The direct management of the investment portfolio — security selection, execution, rebalancing, and performance monitoring — will sit with the CIO. The VP of Finance’s distinct responsibility is the cash pipeline: determining how much capital is available for deployment at any given time, ensuring liquidity buffers are maintained for operational needs across the group, and executing the transfer of funds from operating entities into the Phalanx structure in a tax-efficient and compliant manner. They will ensure that the group’s cash generation rhythm and the platform’s deployment cadence are aligned, and that at no point does investment activity compromise the operating liquidity of the business.
The VP of Finance should therefore have a strong working understanding of institutional asset management — enough to be an informed counterparty to the CIO, to scrutinise risk exposures, and to contribute meaningfully to allocation decisions. They do not need to be a portfolio manager, but they do need to understand how one thinks. Familiarity with the regulatory and licensing requirements for managing investment activities out of Singapore, including potential MAS licensing considerations, is expected.
The VP of Finance will oversee the finance function end-to-end: accounts payable and receivable, payroll across jurisdictions, statutory audit coordination, and ERP/accounting system selection and implementation. They will establish the financial controls and processes appropriate for a company preparing for institutional-grade transparency — whether that ultimately means private fundraising, strategic partnerships, or a public listing. In the early stages, this means being hands-on; over time, it means building the team beneath them.
The ideal candidate will bring 10–18 years of progressive finance experience, with a demonstrable track record in at least two of the following: technology or hardware company finance leadership (VP Finance, Group Financial Controller, or Finance Director level), asset management or portfolio management (family office, hedge fund, or sovereign wealth fund), and cross-border corporate structuring — ideally involving the UK and Singapore or a comparable multi-jurisdictional setup.
Candidates must be based in Singapore or eligible to work in Singapore without sponsorship. This is a locally based role and we are seeking candidates with an established presence in the Singapore market and deep familiarity with the local regulatory, tax, and financial services landscape.
Candidates who have previously been the first senior finance hire in a scaling company — who have built the function rather than inherited it — will be particularly well suited.
A professional accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CPA, or equivalent) is expected. A CFA charter or MBA with a finance concentration would be advantageous given the investment interface. Candidates without formal qualifications but with exceptional track records in institutional finance will also be considered on merit.
The right person will be energised by the opportunity to build a financial platform from the ground up in one of the world’s premier financial centres. They will be comfortable operating with a lean team initially, and will bring both the strategic vision to design the group’s financial architecture and the operational willingness to execute it hands-on. They will see this as a path to a Group CFO seat — earned through delivery, not inherited through seniority.
