A rapidly growing, VC-backed climate tech company is hiring a Finance Lead (CFO track) in Singapore. This early-stage startup is tackling a critical decarbonisation challenge in a traditionally hard-to-abate sector and has raised capital from leading global impact investors.


The business is looking for a high-potential finance leader to join the team early, work directly with the Founder, and build the finance function from the ground up. You will operate as a true #1 in finance, with full ownership across financial operations, while also being exposed to strategic initiatives including fundraising, asset structuring, and new business build-outs.


This is a hands-on role - ideal for someone who is excited to roll up their sleeves in a lean team and grow with the company.


What you will do

  • Build and run the finance function end-to-end (with outsourced accounting support initially)
  • Work directly with the Founder on financial strategy, fundraising, and business planning
  • Support debt structuring and asset financing initiatives
  • Develop financial models, budgets, and cash flow management frameworks
  • Set up financial controls, processes, and reporting from scratch
  • Get involved in strategic projects, including newco / asset holding structures and partnerships


What we are looking for

  • Big 4 background (Audit or Transaction Services)
  • 6-10 years of experience, ideally with some exposure to a startup or high-growth environment
  • Experience in a hands-on finance role (FP&A, controllership, or finance manager level)
  • Exposure to debt financing, transaction advisory, or capex-heavy businesses is a plus
  • Strong fundamentals with willingness to get involved in detail (e.g. journals, controls, processes)
  • Commercial mindset and interest in sustainability / climate


If you are looking for a role with real impact - not just in scaling the company, but also in shaping a greener, more sustainable future - this is that opportunity.
