About PinGo Mobility

Rwanda is ready to move differently — and we’re building the wheels for it. PinGo Mobility is creating Rwanda’s first electric bike-sharing network, designed for the new Africa: clean, affordable, and connected.

We’re here to make short trips faster, greener, and smarter — because in Rwanda, every ride should move more than just people. It should move the future.

Our Core Values

🌱 Sustainability – Movement shouldn’t cost the Earth. From electric bikes to renewable charging, every decision we make reduces emissions and builds a cleaner, greener Rwanda.

🤝 Inclusivity – Mobility is for everyone. We empower women, youth, and underserved communities, ensuring no one is left behind in the transition to clean transport.

💡** Innovation** – We’re not importing ideas; we’re building them here. Smart tech, local design, and data insights prove African solutions can lead global change.

💸 Affordability – Green transport should be accessible, not expensive. Our pricing keeps everyday rides fair, helping commuters save while supporting the local economy.

❤️ Community – PinGo moves with purpose. Through the PinGo Initiative™, we invest in education, STEM talent, and youth entrepreneurship — making every ride a step toward shared progress.

About the Role

We are seeking a Kigali-based Co-Founder & Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to lead PinGo’s fundraising, investment strategy, and financial governance. You will design the systems that ensure PinGo grows sustainably — building investor confidence, maintaining transparency, and guiding capital deployment.

This is a hands-on co-founder role, suited for a financial leader who can translate purpose into measurable performance.

Key Responsibilities

1️⃣ Financial Strategy & Fundraising • Lead fundraising efforts across pre-seed, seed, and growth rounds, engaging VCs, DFIs, and impact investors. • Build and maintain 3–5 year financial models, pricing scenarios, and break-even analyses. • Prepare investor decks, term-sheets, and due-diligence documentation. • Identify and secure grants, concessional financing, and sustainability-linked funding. • Manage the company’s capitalization table and shareholder equity agreements.

2️⃣ Financial Planning & Control • Establish financial management systems, budgets, and reporting tools. • Oversee cashflow, forecasts, and expenditure tracking during pilot and expansion. • Implement accounting standards compliant with Rwandan and IFRS regulations. • Collaborate with the COO to optimize procurement and operational spending. • Coordinate quarterly audits, risk assessments, and investor reports.

3️⃣ Strategic Growth & Business Development • Align financial objectives with market expansion and operational goals. • Model future mobility products — e-scooters, charging hubs, and EV infrastructure. • Evaluate partnerships with corporates, universities, and development agencies. • Drive ESG and carbon-credit monetization initiatives. • Advise founders on reinvestment and capital structure optimization.

4️⃣ Reporting & Investor Relations • Produce monthly and quarterly performance reports for investors and boards. • Manage investor communications, ensuring clarity and compliance. • Represent PinGo at accelerator programs, demo days, and finance summits. • Track KPIs and maintain real-time financial dashboards.

What We’re Looking For

Experience & Expertise • 3+ years’ experience in finance, investment, or business strategy. • Proven success raising funds or managing venture finance. • Advanced financial modeling and forecasting skills. • Strong knowledge of ESG, impact investing, and development finance. • Understanding of Rwanda’s financial and regulatory environment.

Leadership Qualities • Must be based in Kigali, Rwanda. • Fluent in English and Kinyarwanda (French an advantage). • Strategic thinker able to balance vision with execution. • Excellent communication and presentation skills for investor engagement. • Collaborative, ethical, and data-driven decision-maker.

Preferred Background • Experience in clean tech, mobility, finance, or startups. • Existing network among investors, accelerators, or development organizations. • Previous exposure to capital raises or PPP structures in Africa.
