Chief Financial Officer

Job Description:

We are looking for a Chief Financial Officer who Reports To Founder & CEO based in Gurugram.

Function:

Finance, Corporate Strategy

Experience:

15+ years, with meaningful exposure to both high-growth startups and blue-chip / large-enterprise environments

Qualification:

Chartered Accountant (CA) + MBA (Tier-1/2 institute preferred)

Employment Type:

Full-time, Leadership Team / Founding Circle

About Us:

We are a global coaching and leadership development platform, serving 50+ enterprise clients across 11 countries through a network of 800+ coaches, combined with Nexa, our proprietary AI coach. Headquartered in Switzerland with a strong India-based operating core, We are scaling rapidly, moving from an initial bridge raise toward an institutional Series A, and building the finance, strategy and capital-raising engine to match its ambition.

The Role:

This is a critical mandate for someone who wants to build, not just manage. You will own the full financial architecture of reporting, controls, treasury, unit economics while simultaneously leading the company's capital strategy: structuring and closing funding rounds, owning the investor narrative, managing due diligence, and shaping the strategic roadmap alongside the Founder & CEO. You will sit at the centre of every major decision we make about money, growth and capital, and will be a true thought partner to the CEO and founding team, not simply an execution layer beneath them.

Key Responsibilities:

- Own end-to-end financial management: budgeting, forecasting, cash-flow and treasury management, MIS, statutory compliance and audit, across India and international entities.

- Lead fundraising strategy and execution from bridge rounds through Series A and beyond including investor targeting, pitch narrative, data room, financial modelling, term sheet negotiation and closing.

- Act as primary financial and strategic interface with existing and prospective investors, board members and advisory council.

- Partner directly with the CEO on corporate strategy: pricing architecture, unit economics of the AI + human coaching model, market expansion sequencing, and M&A / partnership evaluation.

- Build and continuously refine our financial model, cap table, ESOP / phantom stock structures, and scenario plans (bridge, Series A, Series B).

- Establish institutional-grade financial controls, governance and reporting suitable for a company scaling toward Series A and beyond, including board and audit-committee-ready reporting.

- Lead due diligence processes end-to-end legal, financial and commercial coordinating with external counsel, auditors and advisors.

- Own investor relations cadence: board decks, investor updates, KPI dashboards and covenant/compliance tracking post-raise.

- Build and mentor a lean, high-quality finance and strategy team as the company scales.

- Represent us credibly in front of institutional investors, family offices, accelerators and strategic partners globally.

What We're Looking For:

- 14-15+ years of progressive experience spanning both startup/high-growth environments and blue-chip organisations (Big 4, investment banking, PE/VC, or large corporates) you understand both worlds and can move fluidly between founder-speed execution and institutional rigour.

- Chartered Accountant (CA); MBA from a top-tier institute strongly preferred.

- Demonstrated track record of leading or closely supporting fundraises venture debt, equity rounds, or growth capital including investor negotiations and closing.

- A genuine founder mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, willing to get into the detail, treats company money and equity as if it were their own, and takes end-to-end ownership rather than waiting for direction.

- Strong grounding in SaaS / platform business metrics (ARR, renewal rates, unit economics, CAC/LTV) prior exposure to HR-tech, EdTech, coaching, or enterprise SaaS is a strong plus.

- Prior experience working directly with a Founder/CEO or promoter in a small, high-trust leadership circle, ideally in a company that has raised institutional capital.

- Excellent command of financial modelling, cap table management, and investor communication able to build a board-grade deck or model without heavy support.

- High personal integrity and discretion, given direct access to sensitive financial, cap table and strategic information.

- Based in India, with willingness to travel to Switzerland HQ and key client/investor geographies (UAE, UK, Southeast Asia) as needed.

Why Join Us:

- A true seat at the founder's table this role is designed as a strategic partner to the CEO, not a back-office function.

- Ground-floor opportunity to shape the capital strategy of a company moving from bridge to institutional Series A.

- Meaningful equity participation reflecting the founding-team nature of this role.

- Direct exposure to a global enterprise client base (50+ clients, 11 countries) and an active, credible investor and advisory network.
