[Hiring] Head of Finance @LI.FI

Role Description

We’re looking for a Head of Finance (m/f/d) to lead and grow the finance function at LI.FI, one of the most exciting cross-chain infrastructure companies in blockchain. This is a role for someone who thrives on turning numbers into decisions: building financial models, driving planning and analysis, and helping the company steer itself based on clear, trusted data.

You’ll lead an experienced finance team, partner closely with other departments to embed financial thinking across the company, and act as a sparring partner to the CFO and wider management on strategic decisions. You’ll report directly to the CFO.

Please note: This role is remote within Europe. Berlin is preferred but not a requirement. Your application will not be considered otherwise.

Responsibilities

• Own financial planning and analysis end to end: build and maintain financial models, run forecasts, and translate them into insights that shape how the company allocates capital and prioritises bets.
• Partner with the CFO and leadership to prepare ad-hoc analyses, business cases, and planning calculations that support strategic decisions.
• Drive budgeting and forecasting cycles across the company, working with team leads to help them stay on budget and make smart trade-offs.
• Build and own financial and operational KPI reporting for internal stakeholders and investors.
• Use AI and automation to raise the bar on how finance operates, from reporting workflows to analysis and data pipelines, in close partnership with our data team.
• Support treasury decisions, working with the team and external consultants on how to manage and deploy capital across entities and currencies.
• Lead and grow the finance team, setting the tone for how finance partners with the rest of the company.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in FP&A, with a strong track record of building financial models, running forecasts, and turning numbers into actionable recommendations.
• Previous leadership experience, with a collaborative style and a strong focus on developing the people around you.
• Experience applying AI and automation to finance workflows, with a track record of improving how teams operate day to day.
• Strong analytical mind with an eye for what the numbers are actually saying and what should be done about it.
• Excellent communication skills, able to hold your own with technical, commercial, and executive audiences.
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, startup or scale-up environment where you’ll build structure without over-engineering it.
• Comfortable moving between the big picture and the detail, with a hands-on approach to work.
• Good understanding of European accounting principles, with the ability to engage effectively with tax advisors and external partners.

Nice to Have

• Experience in fintech, SaaS, or B2B environments.
• German accounting knowledge (HGB) and experience working with German tax structures.
• German language skills.
• Interest in or exposure to crypto, DeFi, or digital asset accounting.

Benefits

• Annual company offsites — we've explored Thailand, Vietnam, Morocco, and Greece together. Next stop for 2027: TBD!
• 30 days of PTO.
• Flexible remote days.
• Flexible working hours.
• Equity participation from day 1.
• Entitlement to work computer (choice of equipment).
• 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 coworking, office setup, etc.
