Job Description

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) – Fintech Brooklyn, NY | $200K–$400K Base + Equity •? ?Company Overview We’re a fintech company operating in an agile, founder-backed environment with serious momentum. We’re now ready for our next chapter—and we’re looking for a real operator to take us there. This is not a placeholder CEO role. It’s a full-control, equity-driving, strategy-leading position with major upside. •? ?Position Overview We need a hands-on, high-caliber CEO who can own the business like it’s their own. Someone with deep fintech experience, strong development leadership, a track record with investors, and the hunger to build smart, scale fast, and exit strong. This role is for someone who sees the big picture, brings people together, builds teams from scratch, and knows how to both run a P&L and create value for a future sale. •? ?The Ideal Candidate You’ve led or built in fintech. You’ve raised capital, pitched to VCs, and maybe even taken a company through a transaction. You’re direct, fast-moving, numbers-driven, and unafraid of ownership. You don’t wait for direction—you create it. And when things go off track, you reset the plan and get the team aligned again.
