A rapidly growing, VC backed climate tech company is hiring its first CFO in Singapore. This Series A startup is tackling a critical decarbonisation challenge in the maritime sector and has raised capital from leading global impact and mobility investors. With live commercial operations already supporting customers, the company is now entering a rapid scale phase across Asia, with global ambitions over time.
This is a foundational CFO opportunity to build the finance function from zero, partner closely with a highly commercial founder, and design the financing strategy behind a capex-heavy, asset-backed, and SaaS-enabled business model.
A key part of the role involves structuring debt and asset financing, working directly with investors, lenders, and strategic partners to enable the company’s growth without burdening the balance sheet.
What you will do
- Build the end-to-end finance function from scratch in a hands-on capacity
- Act as a strategic partner to the Founder/CEO on business model, growth, and expansion plans
- Lead debt structuring, financial strategy, and support fundraising initiatives
- Develop robust financial models across hardware, infrastructure, and recurring software revenues
- Design and manage cash flow, working capital, and asset financing structures to support rapid scaling
- Interface directly with top-tier VCs, family offices, institutional investors, and lenders
What we are looking for
- Big 4 background (ideally from Transaction Services / Deal Advisory)
- Strong experience in debt financing, structured financing, or capex-heavy models
- Experience in a hands-on finance leadership role in a startup/scale-up
- Commercial mindset, comfortable in ambiguity
- Hungry, agile, and comfortable rolling up sleeves in a lean, fast growing team
If you are looking for a CFO role with real impact - not just in scaling the company, but also in shaping a greener, more sustainable future - this is that opportunity.
