Job Specifications

Fast-Growing Fintech Startup | Confidential

We’re partnering with a fast-growing fintech startup to hire its first-ever finance leader. This is a rare opportunity to step in early, work directly with the CEO, and help shape the financial foundation of a business that’s entering its next phase of growth.

This role is highly strategic. While there will be some basic accounting oversight, the focus is firmly on FP&A, debt and financial modeling, fundraising support, and decision-making at the executive level. If you’re excited by building, scaling, and influencing outcomes — this role is built for that.

Why this role is compelling

Be the first finance hire and build the function from the ground up
True thought partner to the CEO on strategy, growth, and capital decisions
Exposure to fundraising, debt structuring, and investor conversations
Opportunity to scale with the business and take on broader leadership as the company grows
Meaningful impact early — not a back-office role, but a seat at the table

What you’ll be doing

Own company-wide financial planning, forecasting, and long-term modeling
Build and maintain debt and capital structure models to support growth initiatives
Partner with the CEO on strategic planning, pricing, unit economics, and growth initiatives
Support fundraising efforts, including materials, models, and investor diligence
Translate financial data into clear insights to guide operating and strategic decisions
Work cross-functionally with operations, product, and leadership to improve performance
Establish scalable financial processes and infrastructure as the company grows
Oversee light accounting functions (likely with external support)

Who we’re looking for

Background in investment banking, private equity, venture capital, management consulting, or a strategic in-house finance role at a high-growth company
Strong financial modeling and analytical skillset, ideally with debt modeling experience
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building from scratch
Strategic mindset with the ability to zoom out and execute
Excited about joining an early-stage company and growing alongside it
Clear communicator who can influence and partner with senior leadership

This is a great fit if you…

Want to get in early and help shape a company’s trajectory
Prefer strategy, modeling, and impact over pure accounting
Are energized by ownership, autonomy, and visibility
See finance as a driver of growth — not just reporting
