Head of Finance - AI-CFO

Compensation: $60k – $90k CAD • 0.001% – 0.75%

“This is the path to Head of Finance" Could you scale us, you become the operator-in-chief”? Could you be one of the Architects for our financial engine that propels CityZeen to $100 million ARR? and makes middle-class wealth creation the next big thing.

Why CityZeen? We democratise elite investing. CityZeen lets people co-invest in deals “previously only available to the super-wealthy”.

Mission and Margin. Our purpose is “to invest in sustainable habitats and leverage wealth for the middle class”, and every member “allocates capital to influence healthy living”.

Global stage, European licence loading… We’re finalising a pan-European FinTech/asset-management licence—meaning you’ll design the playbook, not just follow one.

What Makes You Different Battle-tested operator. 8–12+ years senior finance leadership in asset management, banking or, ideally, FinTech. You’ve steered a scale-up through licensing, hypergrowth, and fundraising rounds > $50M (nice to have, not mandatory).

Quant meets charisma. Fluent in advanced modeling and statistics. Bonus: some Python or R to automate financial pipelines.

Deal-maker. A killer negotiator who has closed partnerships with top-tier banks, asset managers, or institutional investors in at least two continents.

Polyglot. Board-level English plus two additional languages (we’re pan-European—accents welcome).

Risk hawk. Deep command of capital adequacy, treasury, liquidity, and enterprise risk frameworks; experience designing them from scratch.

Degree-agnostic, impact-obsessed. MBAs and EMBAs are great, but we hire for grit, brains, and purpose before diplomas. Self-tough?

What You’ll Get Ownership that matters. Significant stock-option package at seed-stage pricing. Blank-canvas authority. The board expects you to rewrite the finance playbook, not keep the books.

How to Apply Attach a CV and portfolio that proves two things: You’ve already scaled something—revenue, teams, or both. You can show the math behind your proudest financial wins.

On top of a cover letter, send a one-slide model (in Python, R, or plain old Excel) showing how you’d get CityZeen from $10 M to $100M ARR in 9, 12, 18, 24 months. We value clarity over complexity.

Purpose with profit. Every asset we finance helps regenerate real-world habitats while building member wealth—capitalism with a conscience.

Office sandbox. Our locations in Paris, Toronto or Bogota—and the freedom to build your team where talent lives.
