Remote C-level EMEA Banking CFO Team Leadership Risk Management Reporting

Requirements

• CFO (or equivalent) experience at a venture-backed scale-up, with Series B+ investment conversations and a leading role in at least one raise. • Hands-on capital strategy: equity story, investor relations, and non-equity or debt facilities. • International entity set-up, ideally US - comfortable owning the legal, tax, and banking workstreams. • ERP and financial systems ownership - you've built or fixed the information flow, not just consumed it. • Available 3 days a week for 6 months, able to start fast. • Complex commodity, energy, or regulated-market experience. • Risk management: structure, levers, and the story to investors. • AI-native finance team structuring - we have most of this covered; you'd sharpen it, not build it. • The credibility and appetite to lead a funding round personally. • Strong culture fit: direct, fast, low ego. • 6-month initial term, 3 days a week. • Start: as soon as you can sensibly extract yourself - this work is live now. • Remote first, with time alongside the leadership team when the work demands it. • Runs alongside our permanent CFO search. We're transparent about that, and the engagement stands on its own terms.
