About Ctrl Alt
Ctrl Alt is designing and operating the on-chain infrastructure powering digital capital markets globally. We bring together a unique blend of expertise in financial markets and cutting-edge in-house technology to deliver tailored, compliant solutions in the alternative assets space. Since launching in 2022, we’ve tokenized over $850m in assets across real estate, private credit, funds, litigation finance and more.
We’re building a high-performance, people-first culture where ambitious individuals can thrive. We move fast, think big and hold ourselves to a high bar, while keeping things collaborative, open and genuinely fun. At Ctrl Alt ideas win on merit, teams work closely with leadership, and everyone has a voice in shaping what we build next.
We believe that hard work should come with real reward. You won’t just join a company — you’ll help build one. Last year alone, we grew from 17 to 50 people, and this year we’re going faster and further. That means real responsibility, meaningful impact, and the opportunity to grow alongside a company that’s redefining the future of finance through the tokenization of alternative assets.
If you’re excited by scale-up energy, ownership, and the chance to help shape both a business and a culture, Ctrl Alt is where you can do the most rewarding work of your career.
The Opportunity
We’re hiring a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to lead Ctrl Alt through its next phase of rapid international growth and institutional scale.
This is a senior leadership role for a commercially minded, hands-on finance leader who thrives in high-growth environments. You will own Ctrl Alt’s financial strategy, capital planning, regulatory finance, and investor engagement, partnering closely with the CEO, Board, and senior leadership team.
You’ll play a central role in investor relations, scaling our regulated group structure, and ensuring our financial foundations are robust, credible, and built for long-term growth. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building, moves quickly, and can balance strategic thinking with operational execution.
This is a full-time, in-office role based in our London office.
In this role you will:
- Own Ctrl Alt’s financial strategy, long-range planning, and group financial performance
- Act as a strategic partner to the CEO and Board, delivering clear, decision-useful reporting and insights
- Own finance across our regulated entities, including capital adequacy and regulatory financial submissions
- Oversee group accounting, consolidation, audit, tax, VAT, transfer pricing, and intercompany frameworks across multiple jurisdictions
- Ensure robust revenue recognition across tokenisation fees, TVL-linked revenues, issuance structures, and blockchain-native income
- Partner with Product and Commercial teams to design and evaluate the financial economics of new products, SPVs, and tokenised asset structures
- Mentor the existing finance function. Build out a high-performing finance function spanning FP&A, accounting, and regulatory finance.
- Lead fundraising initiatives, future capital raises, owning financial models, data rooms, and investor materials
- Drive automation, systems, and scalable processes as the business grows
- Ensure financial discipline, cash management, and liquidity remain strong through rapid scaling
This role will be a great fit if you:
- Have held a senior finance leadership role (CFO, Finance Director, or equivalent) in a high-growth company
- Have led or played a central role in venture fundraising (Series A/B or later)
- Proven experience presenting complex financial data to Boards, investors, or executive committees in a high-growth environment
- Bring strong experience in regulated financial services environments
- Are comfortable operating in complex, multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction group structures
- Can combine strategic leadership with hands-on execution and detailed financial modelling
- Have experience building and scaling finance teams and systems in fast-growing organisations
