Finance Director

Okapi Solar is an early stage VC-backed startup that is disrupting the residential solar sales and financing industry in Malaysia & Southeast Asia. Launched in early 2024, we develop embedded financing solutions which allow homeowners to switch to cheap and abundant solar energy with zero upfront costs. With an estimated 100 million residential rooftops across Southeast Asia, we are powering a once-in-a-generation transformation in the way people generate and consume energy.

Okapi distributes our proprietary underwriting technology with point-of-sale credit approvals to our network of Installer Partners that drives market expansion, increased conversion rates, and faster sales cycles. Our in-house asset management platform provides 24 / 7 visibility and predictive analytics to maximise asset uptime and minimize delinquencies. We have close to 500 solar systems financed, more than 50 Installer Partners, and are the leading residential solar fintech in the region.

The Finance Director will play a crucial role to ensure our finance function is able to scale alongside the business. This is a key leadership role reporting directly to the CEO, and will be responsible for building a foundational set of scalable systems and robust processes for financial reporting, tax compliance, audit. As an early hire in a small and nimble team, you will be an integral part of the company's future success.
