Job Description
About the Opportunity
We are building an AI-powered RegTech platform designed to help fintech companies anticipate, interpret, and resolve cross-jurisdictional compliance risk before it becomes a business constraint.
The platform continuously ingests global regulatory developments, applies advanced AI and predictive analytics, and delivers forward-looking compliance intelligence and mitigation recommendations. The objective is to replace static compliance tooling with a dynamic, scalable system built for modern financial institutions operating across borders.
We are seeking a
US-based CFO & Co-Founder

. There is
no salary
at this stage.
This role is intended for a founder-caliber finance executive who wants meaningful ownership in what they build. The right person is prepared to commit fully, help finance the journey where appropriate, and operate as a true co-founder rather than a conventional employee.

- Familiarity with regulatory, compliance, risk, or financial-services operating environments is highly valuable
- Ability to operate both strategically and hands-on in a lean, high-accountability startup environment
- Executive maturity, strong judgment, and the credibility to operate as a true co-founder
- What Makes This Role Compelling
- Opportunity to help build a company at the intersection of AI, fintech, and global regulation
- Founding-level ownership with direct influence over capital strategy, financial structure, and long-term enterprise value
- A meaningful role in shaping investor readiness and strategic discipline from day one
- Exposure to a real and expanding enterprise pain point driven by international fintech growth and regulatory complexity
- Potential to help build a highly defensible and institutionally credible venture from the ground floor
- Who This Role Is Best For
- A founder-minded finance executive who wants to build and own, not simply report
- A senior operator who understands how to finance innovation with rigor and discipline
- Someone comfortable operating in ambiguity while maintaining high standards of analytical precision
- A leader who sees financial architecture as a strategic advantage, not an administrative function
- Please Do Not Apply If
- You are looking for a salaried CFO role
- You are not prepared for founder-level commitment and accountability
- You prefer a narrow corporate finance seat rather than broad company-building responsibility
- You are uncomfortable with equity-first economics and early-stage execution intensity
- Preferred Executive Strengths

- Fundraising and investor communications <
