Role Description
The Chief Financial Officer / Head of Strategic Finance will be responsible for:
-
The capital strategy, including designing the capital stack for each data center: construction and project debt, equity, joint ventures, and LP structures.
-
The raise, end to end: building the model, the story, and the materials; running the process with banks, private credit, infrastructure funds, and strategic investors; negotiating terms; and closing.
-
The relationships: being the person lenders and investors call and growing a network that makes every future raise faster and cheaper.
-
Deal economics: working with the BD team on lease structures with neocloud and AI customers to ensure every project is financeable.
-
The finance organization: overseeing accounting and reporting across Simple Mining and the data center business, working with the Head of Finance to prepare for institutional capital.
-
Equity and valuation: partnering on the employee equity plan and the valuation story as the data center business moves into its own parent company.
Your first 90 days will involve getting to know the founders, the sites, and the numbers. You will meet the capital relationships already in motion, put a financing plan and timeline in front of leadership, and drive the first raise forward. By day 90, the board should see a clear path to funding the first data center.
