Co-Founder & CFO Opportunity: Build the Financial Future of Reforestation 🌲 (Equity-Focused)

Are you an entrepreneurial finance leader ready to build something from the ground up?

At MiON Forest, we are an early-stage climate-tech startup with a massive vision: revolutionizing reforestation using biodegradable pots, soil microbiome activation, and AI-driven drones.

We are looking for a CFO (Co-Founder capacity) to join our leadership team. This is not a typical 9-to-5 corporate role, it is an opportunity to own a significant stake in a company that is preparing for rapid growth in 2026.

🚀 The Reality & The Opportunity We believe in radical transparency. We are currently in the early stages. This position is primarily equity-based to start, with a modest salary/stipend expected to kick in as we secure our incoming grants and investment rounds in 2026.

We are looking for a partner who is willing to bet on themselves and us. You aren't just an employee; you are a co-architect of our financial future.

🌱 The Timeline (Probationary Trial)

Start Date: January 2026.
Format: We will begin with a 1-month probationary trial. This allows us both to assess our working chemistry and ensuring we are aligned on mission and strategy before making a long-term commitment.

🎯 What You Will Do

Secure the Runway: Lead our immediate efforts to finalize pending government grants and secure seed investment for 2026.
Strategic Structure: Build the financial models and internal controls from scratch to prepare us for scale.
Investor Relations: Act as the primary financial voice to our current and future stakeholders.

✨ Who You Are

Entrepreneurial: You understand startup life. You are comfortable with risk and motivated by long-term reward (equity).
Experienced: You have a background in finance/accounting (CPA preferred) and have ideally navigated the early stages of a startup or venture-backed company.
Mission-Driven: You are passionate about restoring the planet’s forests and want your work to leave a legacy.

🤝 The Deal

Compensation: Significant Co-Founder Level Equity.
Salary: Minimal to start, with a roadmap to increase as we close our 2026 funding rounds (Investment/Grants).
Location: Hybrid/Hamilton, Ontario (The Forge / McMaster Innovation Park).

🔗 How to Apply If you have the grit to build a climate-tech unicorn and the financial expertise to keep us grounded, we want to hear from you.

Please send your CV and a brief note on why you are ready for a co-founder journey SK@mionscience.com

Deadline: 31 December 2025
