CFO with Real PE DNA

If you’ve only done startup finance, keep scrolling.

We're assembling a high-velocity acquisition platform. This isn’t a corporate ladder move — this is a power seat at the table of a founder-led, deal-driven machine. If you're not trained in Private Equity capital stacks, AIFM fund structures and the real-world orchestration of investor expectations — this isn’t your role.

THE ROLE: CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER (CFO)

Location: Europe (Remote/Hybrid)

Stage: Pre-raise, Pre-exit, Pre-sleep

Commitment: Strategic + operational. You co-drive this platform.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

Background in Private Equity, Fund Management or Family Office deal structuring
Deep grasp of capital stack mechanics — senior, mezzanine, preferred equity, seller notes
Familiarity with AIFM structures, waterfall payouts and fund governance
Ability to model complex cash flows and recap layers with clarity and speed
Confidence to manage and align bankers, investors, sellers and lawyers — without flinching
Not just fluent in Excel — fluent in execution

YOUR MANDATE:

Structure and defend our investment cases
Own the modeling of deals, recaps and eventual exits
Co-lead investor communications and capital raises
Build trust with counterparties and hold them accountable
Be the financial conscience of the platform without becoming the bottleneck

WHAT THIS IS NOT:

A quiet back-office finance role
A job where you wait for instructions
A sandbox for theorists
A place to "learn on the job"

WHAT THIS IS:

A founding role
A chance to shape a platform from the ground up
A front-row seat in real acquisition execution — with global reach
A long-term wealth-building opportunity tied to value creation and results

If you’re ready to partner at the sharp edge of PE — where strategy meets aggression — then let’s talk.
