About Voltloader

Voltloader is the UK’s first all-electric haulier, pioneering a new era of sustainable freight and charging solutions. We are a small but ambitious scale-up, operating at the cutting edge of both zero-emission logistics and the rapidly growing EV charging sector. This is a rare opportunity to join a business at the heart of its growth journey, where your impact will be immediate and visible, and where success is directly rewarded with a meaningful equity stake.

The Role

Voltloader is seeking an exceptional Chief Financial Officer to join at a pivotal stage in its growth. With an ongoing Series A raise targeting approximately £50m, this role will play a critical part in supporting the business through this process and positioning it for rapid scale thereafter.

This is a hands-on and strategic role suited to a CFO who thrives in high-growth environments and has a proven track record of supporting scale-ups through significant funding rounds and building robust, scalable financial infrastructure.

Initially, this role is expected to be part-time alongside the fundraising activities, with the intention of transitioning to a 3–5 day per week commitment following completion of the Series A raise (targeted for Q4). We are flexible as to whether this evolves into an ongoing full-time or part-time position at that stage.
