Our mission is The Utility of Computeâ„¢: AI infrastructure as dependable and available as electricity, for every organization that needs it.
Launched with a $10B strategic partnership with one of the leading frontier AI labs, a Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, and a $5B AI Infrastructure Fund, Volta is building the infrastructure layer of the AI era from the ground up.
We are 100+ people across London, Palo Alto, and New York, with rapid growth expectations to hundreds.
About The RoleVolta's transactions are large, novel and fast-moving: multi-billion-dollar GPU capacity contracts, project-finance debt, forgivable loans, asset acquisitions, SPV and JV structures, and share-based payments across multiple jurisdictions.
Getting the accounting right - and documented - before the auditors and the SEC ask is a core part of our path to a US listing as a foreign private issuer.
As Technical Accounting & Policy Director you will own Volta's Technical Accounting Positions Register and the group accounting policy suite under US GAAP, converting complex commercial arrangements into well-reasoned, audit-ready position papers and policies.
You will work directly with the CFO and VP Accounting, and act as the technical counterpart to our external auditors from first-year audit through to public-company reporting.
The role suits someone who enjoys first-principles work: most of the positions you will paper have not been written before at Volta, and several - lease-versus-licence for colocation, CECL on promissory notes, revenue under long-dated capacity contracts - are genuinely interesting.
