About the role

  • Director of Strategic Finance at Swap leading the evolution of financial workflows using AI. Overseeing capital markets and strategic initiatives in a hybrid role.

Responsibilities

  • Strategic Initiative Ownership: Lead cross-functional projects that evolve our business model. You won’t just report on the business; you will develop it, ensuring every initiative is scalable, repeatable, and leverages our AI-native capabilities.
  • Capital Markets & Corporate Development: Play a lead role in our equity and debt fundraising activities. You will also build out our M&A and corporate development function, identifying and executing on opportunities that accelerate our roadmap.
  • AI-Native Financial Operations: Move beyond manual spreadsheets. You will aggressively leverage AI to automate workflows and build the finance function of the future—one that moves at the speed of our platform.
  • Strategic Partnering: Act as a high-level partner to the leadership team, providing the analytical leverage and "investigative rigor" needed to make high-stakes decisions across product, tax, returns, and demand planning.
  • Data-First Growth: Model complex economics (usage-based pricing, cross-border flows, etc.) and reconcile "messy" data into a single source of truth that the company can act on with confidence.
  • Build the Muscle: As a Director, you aren't just an individual contributor; you are responsible for building the processes, team culture, and frameworks that will allow Swap to scale globally.

Requirements

  • The Seniority to Lead, the Grit to Do: You’ve seen "what good looks like" at scale, but you aren’t too proud to get your hands dirty in the chaos of a growing startup.
  • Capital Markets Experience: You have experience of participating in or leading debt and equity transactions. You understand the nuances of fundraising and investor relations.
  • AI Proficiency: You don’t just use AI as a novelty; it is a core part of your workflow. You are the person who automates the tedious parts of the job before anyone asks, and you understand how AI translates into real business outcomes.
  • Extreme Ownership: You don’t wait for a brief. When data is incomplete or a process is broken, you lean in and figure it out. You thrive in low-structure environments and have a "builder" instinct.
  • Exceptional Modeler & Analyst: You can build a complex financial model from a blank sheet and translate technical or operational concepts into clear financial impact.
  • Shared Ownership Mindset: You value clarity and creativity. You are hungry, not entitled, and you measure your success by the impact you have on the business and the team.

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary.
  • Stock options in a high-growth startup.
  • Competitive PTO with public holidays additional.
  • Birthday off (extra PTO day)
  • Private Health.
  • Pension.
  • Wellness benefits.
  • Breakfast Mondays.
