We are looking for a Chief Financial Officer to bring world-class financial leadership to a profitable, international, multi-entity company. Your mission: turn finance into an engine for growth — funding the right bets, scaling operations with discipline, and building lasting value for our team and our investors. You will report to the CEO, Pierre, whose favorite fruit is Kiwi.

What you will own

Capital and growth

• Own how we deploy capital, and make the case — internally and externally — for the bets worth making.
• Give leadership the clarity to invest with conviction and the discipline to scale operations profitably.

The financial future of the company

• Build the long-term value of the business and the opportunities for liquidity that come with it, for our team and our investors.
• Be the financial principal of the company to the outside world — the counterpart investors, partners, banks, and auditors deal with.

A world-class finance function

• Build, hire, and lead a deliberately lean, AI-leveraged finance organization across our international group.
• Set the standard for how finance operates, partners with the business, and earns trust company-wide.

Requirements

Hospitable is a remote-only and distributed company. You should have a strongly daily overlap across EMEA and US Eastern timezones. You will report to the CEO.

Don't tick all the boxes? Talk to us about why you're still an amazing fit. Here's what we're paying attention to:

• A CFO who has led finance through real scale and built lasting value for a company and its shareholders.
• Deep international, multi-entity, multi-currency experience.
• Command of cross-border tax and compliance, including US indirect tax, EU VAT and Australian GST.
• Proactive communication, high ownership, and strong autonomy in a fast-moving remote environment.

Extra special kudos if you have:

• SaaS-enabled marketplace experience: forecasting both transactional GBV and recurring revenue.
• Travel, hospitality, or proptech sector experience.
• Built a finance function from founder-run to institutional-grade.

Benefits

• A supportive, radically transparent, and caring team environment, where you are trusted, not managed—and a culture that is focused on results and output.

• Cash. The total cash budget for this role is up to US$312,000 per year, depending on the cost of living in your location. We can hire talent internationally as contractors—or employees if you are based in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Australia, taking into account payroll taxes to determine your gross compensation.
• Stock. A significant equity stake through our $HOST token (RSUs): a grant valued at US$436,800, vesting over four years (≈ US$109,200.00 per year). You share directly in the long-term upside you help create.
• For US employees: healthcare (including EPO, PPO and HSA), 401(k).
• 35 days off per year, encouraged (including self-serve public holidays) and parental leave.
• Complimentary mental health and emotional support with therapists on call through Slack by Spill.
