Luxury. Entertainment. Commerce. The Future.

About Us

DFTV is an innovative entertainment and commerce platform connecting luxury brands with high-net-worth individuals in a whole new way. Powered by our proprietary technology, we’re redefining media, media distribution, advertising, luxury product sales, travel retail and e-commerce by blending storytelling with exclusive shopping experiences. As we scale, we are looking for a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to join our team of elite professionals.

The Role

We need a strategic, hands-on CFO who will lead our financial operations and play a key role in defining our start-up strategy, our investment strategy and our long-term growth strategy. Your job is to help us create a compelling investment narrative and execute our financial strategy—from early-stage funding to long-term profitability.

What You’ll Do

Develop and execute our financial strategy, ensuring alignment with business goals and long-term growth.
Identify and present all available funding options, from sales and pre-sales to all forms of strategic investment.
Oversee and manage the process of securing capital through various funding sources, including early-stage investments, venture funding, and alternative financing strategies.
Construct our business model, competitive landscape analysis, growth strategy, investment roadmap and pitch materials to attract top-tier investors.
Develop detailed pro-forma financials, pricing models, and economic strategies to guide our expansion.
Design a burn rate and customer ramp-up model, providing a clear walk-up to profitability with accurate financial forecasting.
Ensure financial compliance, risk management, and operational efficiency at every stage of growth.
Leverage your considerable network to attract top professionals and generally promote our company.
Speak about our company and industry to financial publications, broadcasters, and trades. Participate in industry panels on our behalf as a global expert.

What We’re Looking For

Proven experience as a CFO or senior finance executive at an established company, with preference given to those who have worked with startups within media, media distribution, advertising, sales & marketing, luxury goods or e-commerce.
Deep expertise in capital raising and investment structures, including angel investments, seed funding, SAFE notes, priced rounds, venture capital, and debt financing.
Experience leading a startup to a successful exit and responsibility for strategic financial planning, ultimately guiding the company through mergers, acquisitions, or IPO processes to maximize stakeholder value.
Expertise in financial modeling, pro-formas, growth strategies, pricing, and forecasting.
A strong understanding of market analysis, including TAM, SOM, SAM, and competitive positioning.
An understanding of the current trends, challenges, innovations and opportunities in the fields of media, entertainment, sales & marketing, e-commerce, machine learning and natural language processing, and how they relate to our company and our value proposition.
Strong leadership skills, capable of building and managing a high-performing finance team.
Excellent investor relations and fundraising strategy experience—you won’t raise the capital yourself, but you will lead the search and guide the process to success.
Los Angeles-based candidates preferred.

Compensation

This role comes with a salary and includes an equity stake in the company, ensuring alignment with long-term growth and success.

Why Join DFTV?

This is a unique opportunity to be a key architect of a disruptive global platform working with the biggest names in technology, luxury, commerce and entertainment. As CFO, you’ll help shape the financial future of an industry-defining company as part of a visionary leadership team.
