  • - Manage cash, treasury, payroll, vendor management and financial risk, including counterparty, credit/portfolio, FX, and basic regulatory/tax considerations across jurisdictions.​
  • - Design and implement scalable finance processes, controls, and systems (including the finance tech stack).
  • - Lead financial planning and analysis: budgeting, forecasting, scenario modelling, runway management and portfolio/transaction analytics for CUR8’s products and structures.​
  • - Own board‑level financial reporting and KPIs; provide clear, decision‑ready insights to support product, commercial, and strategy decisions.​
  • - Partner with founders on fundraising including modelling, materials, investor conversations, and data‑room readiness.
  • - Work with legal and external advisors to design and maintain optimal entity structures for CUR8’s carbon finance products.​
  • - Build and maintain financing models that reflect contract structures (e.g., offtake-backed revenue, repayment waterfalls, covenants, reserves).
