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)
