About Motorq
Motorq is a leading software infrastructure company working on connected car data and analytics. Our mission is to provide owners and managers of vehicles with cutting-edge actionable insights so they can improve their operations, improve client experience, and reduce cost.
Motorq works closely with the largest global car manufacturers (OEMs) in the world to extract data directly from the embedded modems in cars. We have deep commercial and technical relationships with over 12 large OEMs and are co-creating the future with them. With most of these OEMs, Motorq is the first and only data partner. After ingesting data from the car and from other sources like vehicle specs data, our advanced algorithms create actionable insights that are then sent to customers via a suite of products, ranging from APIs, Streams, DataLakes and web portals. Motorq’s customers include most the 10 largest fleet management companies, large dealer groups, and other leading automotive services companies.
The Motorq leadership team has interdisciplinary experience in automotive engineering full-stack software engineering, data science and SaaS startups. We recently raised a $41M Series-B round, led by Insight Partners, one of the largest VCs in the world. We are also backed by leading auto-tech VCs, and leading automotive services companies.
Motorq has over 80 employees, spanning engineering, data science, product, operations, customer success, sales, and marketing. We are headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area with offices in Seattle, Bangalore and Chennai.
The Role
Motorq is growing rapidly – as we onboard more OEMs and customers. We are fortunate that our recent funding round has given us a long runway. To support the commercial growth, we are investing in world-class talent, and with partners. The complexity of our books are increasing, and hence we are looking for a world-class, highly-motivated, accounting lead to take care of all the financials for the company – from standard reporting, to managing AR, AP, treasury, business performance metrics, sales commissions, vendor management, etc.
This is a high-visibility role - this candidate will work closely with our exec leadership team, interface with all staff working with vendors, and the outputs will be shared with the board. The candidate will be the first in-house accounting staff member, and will have leverage from our current outsourced bookkeeping and accounting services firm.
We would prefer this candidate to be located in the San Francisco Bay Area. A hybrid work model is anticipated, with 2-3 days per week in the office.
