Role Overview
SafeSpace Global Corporation is seeking a hands-on, capital-markets-experienced Chief Financial Officer to serve a dual mandate:
1. Public Company CFO — responsible for SEC-adjacent compliance, audited financials, OTC reporting discipline, investor readiness, and guiding the company through a structured uplist from Pink Sheets to a national exchange (NYSE or NYSE-American).
2. Operating CFO — responsible for day-to-day financial operations, budgeting, cash management, forecasting, vendor oversight, and operational financial discipline for a rapidly scaling AI technology company operating across multiple regulated verticals.
This is a builder role, not a maintenance role. The CFO will help architect the financial backbone of the company as it moves from pre-revenue to material revenue scale.
