Company Overview

We are a rapidly scaling global technology company seeking an exceptional Chief Financial Officer to lead our finance function through our next phase of growth. As we expand across multiple markets and geographies, we need a strategic financial leader who can balance operational excellence with visionary planning.

The Opportunity

As CFO, you will be a key member of our executive leadership team, responsible for all aspects of financial management across our global operations. This is a unique opportunity to build and scale financial infrastructure, drive strategic initiatives, and play a pivotal role in shaping the company's future. You’ll work directly with the CEO and Board of Directors to guide critical decisions around capital allocation, market expansion, M&A opportunities, and long‑term value creation.

Financial Operations & Reporting - Oversee all financial operations including accounting, FP&A, treasury, tax, and investor relations. Ensure accurate and timely financial reporting across all global entities. Implement scalable systems and processes that support rapid growth while maintaining financial controls and compliance across multiple jurisdictions.

Global Finance Management - Build and manage financial operations across our international footprint, including multi‑currency management, international tax strategy, and local regulatory compliance. Establish transfer pricing policies and optimize global cash management. Navigate complex cross‑border financial structures as we expand into new markets.

Team Building & Development - Recruit, develop, and lead a world‑class finance team capable of supporting our ambitious growth trajectory. Foster a culture of excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Build functional capabilities in FP&A, corporate development, and business partnering.

Risk Management & Governance - Establish comprehensive risk management frameworks covering financial, operational, and regulatory risks. Ensure robust internal controls.

Stakeholder Management - Build trusted relationships with investors, board members, banking partners, and auditors. Communicate financial performance and strategic initiatives clearly to diverse audiences. Represent the company in external financial forums and with key stakeholders.
