About the Role

Kia Connect, founded in 2019 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Kia Europe, runs connected car services across a multi-country footprint. That shape — many markets, high transaction volumes, subscription and usage-based revenue — is what defines the finance work here.

Beyond day-to-day bookkeeping and closing, the employer places weight on standardisation, automation and improvement of finance processes and systems, so the function can keep pace as the digital services business grows. Treasury duties, VAT support and financial reporting to regional and global headquarters round out the remit.
