This role offers an exciting opportunity to shape your career path and lead a team. It's a rare chance to enter the crypto industry with strong investor backing and a diverse set of responsibilities reporting directly to the CFO.

• Supporting the processing of daily payment transactions and ensuring compliance with internal processes

• Implementing and owning financial and operational KPI's and project-related reporting for our business

• Actively supporting the creation and updating of the business plan, analysing forecasting models and identifying opportunities and risks

• Working with our data science team to optimise dashboards and processes to enable rapid reporting and reduce manual effort

• Being the CFO's sparring partner, providing ad hoc analyses and forecasts to support management in making strategic decisions.

What makes a good candidate

• Initial experience in business planning and modeling

Company Culture

• Empowered teams: We take the best person with the right skills, and then inspire them to use them! We trust our team and give them the space and ownership to excel and achieve.

• Flexible time management: We believe work should adapt to your life, not the other way around. We only schedule a few fixed meetings every week – you're free to arrange the rest of your time as you like.

• Inclusive culture: It’s our priority to make our whole team feel included, appreciated and respected. Our global, culturally diverse team is our most important asset.

• Remote-friendly: We’re a fully remote, global company. As long as you’re not on Mars (the WiFi is terrible we heard), being part of our team from the comfort of your own home works perfectly well for us.

What you’ll get

• Entitlement to a work computer (choice of equipment)

• Unlimited remote days and flexible working hours

• Annual team off-sites (Thailand was a blast last year & Vietnam will be even blast-ier)

• An annual 1,000€ personal development budget once you have worked 6+ months (pro-rated the first year)

• A one-time 1,000€ remote budget to use on co-working, office setup, etc. once you have worked 6+ months.

• Equity participation from day one
