Chief Financial Officer (m/f)
Must-have:FinTech
Role: Interim Chief Financial Officer
About the opportunity
Our client, a startup in an active fundraising phase, is seeking an interim CFO on an urgent basis following the recent departure of its previous finance leader. This is initially a 3-6 month engagement, with the possibility of evolving into a longer-term conversation depending on fit and business needs.
What the role involves
- Leading day-to-day finance operations within a small, hands-on team of two
- Managing shareholder relations and supporting active fundraising efforts
- Driving investor and banking relationships
- Overseeing deal structuring and governance matters
- Operating in a fast-paced, resource-constrained startup environment where you'll be doing the work directly, not just delegating
What we're looking for
- Strong, demonstrable Luxembourg experience (living in Luxembourg is not required, provided you have this background)
- Ideally, experience in telco or a comparable B2B subscription business (e.g. logistics, data centers) - this is preferred but not a strict requirement
- Substantial commercial experience gained outside the funds industry
- A track record in fundraising, investor management, and banking relationships
- Comfort working hands-on in a lean finance function rather than a larger, more layered team
- Strong English communication skills
Practical details
- Minimum commitment: 3-6 months with possibility to become permanent
- On-site requirement: at least 3 days per week in the office
- Start date: as soon as possible
