Job Description
Title: Chief Financial Officer (or VP of Finance)
Location: Remote (United States)
About the Firm:
This firm is at the forefront of bridging traditional finance and decentralized finance by bringing real-world financial products—such as U.S. Treasuries, bonds, equities, and soon ETFs—onto the blockchain.
The Opportunity:
This is a foundational finance hire—someone who will shape, build, and own the finance function from the ground up. The role may initially be titled VP of Finance with a clear path to CFO as the organization scales. The right candidate will be equally comfortable reconciling ledgers as they are evaluating strategic M&A and optimizing token-based compensation plans. You will be stepping into a high-autonomy, high-impact role where financial acumen meets strategic foresight.
Key Responsibilities:
Financial Infrastructure & Operations
Build and own core FP&A processes: cash flow forecasting, balance sheet management, monthly reporting, and financial modeling
Oversee reconciliation of company cash flows and ensure financial hygiene across accounts
Formalize internal financial controls, policies, and audit-readiness processes
Manage and evolve compensation infrastructure, including token-linked comp structures
Strategic Finance & Corporate Development
Partner with leadership to evaluate long-term strategic initiatives
Lead financial planning around token economics, treasury management, hedging strategies, and discount sourcing
Provide commercial insight into structuring deals and business model evolution
Team Leadership & Growth
Hire and mentor a lean but high-performing finance team
Build cross-functional partnerships across engineering, people, product, and legal to scale financial strategy and operations
Qualifications:
10+ years of progressive experience in finance roles, ideally with a mix of FP&A, corporate strategy, and accounting
Deep exposure to the crypto or digital asset ecosystem is required—you’ve either worked at a crypto-native firm or led finance functions where tokens, wallets, custody, and decentralized infrastructure are core to the business
Strong technical fluency in accounting, tax, and compensation structures (including tokenized or equity-based)
Demonstrated experience owning full-stack finance in a high-growth or frontier market environment
Strategic thinker with a commercial lens; experience evaluating new markets, business models, or M&A
Prior exposure to regulated financial products or fund structures is a plus
Comfortable navigating ambiguity and thriving in a startup-like, distributed culture
Compensation:
Highly competitive and ROI-driven, including:
Base salary + performance bonus
Long-term incentive compensation (mix of restricted token units [RTUs] and stock options)
