Remuneration: Initially Equity-Based (up to 3% equity, subject to experience, contribution, milestones and vesting)

Green Orbit is looking for an ambitious and commercially minded Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to help shape the next stage of our growth journey.

We are developing SmartFitIQ, an AI-assisted fit and allocation platform designed to improve PPE and uniform provision through better sizing accuracy, stronger audit trails, improved employee wellbeing, greater inclusivity and reduced waste.

The platform is currently being developed in collaboration with CEMET (Centre of Excellence in Mobile and Emerging Technologies) at the University of South Wales, alongside ongoing engagement with public sector organisations and industry stakeholders.

As we move towards pilot projects, grant funding, commercial partnerships and future investment opportunities, we are seeking a CFO who can help build the financial and strategic foundations required for long-term growth.

What You'll Be Doing

Working alongside the Founder, CEO, CTO and wider team, you will help:

Shape the company's financial strategy and growth plans
Develop financial forecasts and commercial models
Support grant funding and Innovate UK opportunities
Lead investor readiness activities
Assist with fundraising and investment discussions
Advise on valuation, governance and financial planning
Help prepare the business for future growth and investment

Who We're Looking For

We would love to hear from individuals with experience in:

Startup finance and scaling businesses
Fundraising and investment readiness
Venture capital or angel investment environments
Financial leadership within technology, SaaS or innovation-led companies
Commercial growth strategy
Grant funding and innovation programmes

Whether you are an experienced CFO, Finance Director, Fractional CFO or senior finance professional looking for an opportunity to help build something meaningful, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Why Join Green Orbit?

This is an opportunity to join at an early stage and help shape a business focused on sustainability, inclusion, employee wellbeing and smarter procurement.

You will play a key role in helping transform an innovative concept into a scalable commercial solution with potential applications across public and private sector organisations.

Equity Opportunity

This role is initially equity-based.

Indicative equity allocation is up to 3%, with the upper end reserved for an exceptional fundraising-capable CFO who can demonstrate significant impact through investment readiness, grant acquisition, fundraising support, commercial growth and strategic leadership.

Salary and other remuneration arrangements will be reviewed as funding, pilot revenue and commercial income develop.

Important

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK before any formal engagement can begin. Green Orbit is not currently able to provide visa sponsorship.

Startup environments are not for everyone. They require initiative, resilience and a willingness to help build from the ground up. For the right person, however, this is an opportunity to make a genuine impact while helping shape the future of a growing technology business.

To express interest, please send your CV together with a brief introduction outlining your experience in startup finance, fundraising, investment readiness or scaling early-stage ventures.
