Remote CFO Role at Hospitable - EMEA/US Global in London

Location Flexibility: This is a fully remote-only role with no office requirement — ideal for digital nomads operating at the executive level. However, there is a meaningful constraint: you must maintain strong daily overlap across both EMEA and US Eastern timezones. In practice, this means your working window should cover roughly UTC+0 to UTC-5, making locations like Lisbon (UTC+0/+1), Medellín (UTC-5), or Istanbul (UTC+3) workable, while Bangkok (UTC+7) or Bali (UTC+8) would be challenging.

Visa Considerations: The job supports employment in the US, EU, UK, and Australia, or contractor arrangements globally. Portugal's Digital Nomad Visa (D8) suits EU-based contractors; the UK's Global Talent Visa may apply. As a C-suite contractor in, say, Medellín, Colombia's digital nomad visa (up to 2 years) is available.

Salary vs. Cost of Living: At up to $312,000/year cash plus ~$109,200/year in RSUs, purchasing power is exceptional in most nomad hubs:

• Lisbon: ~$3,500–5,000/month comfortable living; this salary offers 4–6x coverage
• Bangkok: ~$2,500–4,000/month; but timezone overlap with EMEA/US EST is very difficult

No explicit coworking or travel perks are listed, but the 35-day PTO policy and results-oriented culture give strong autonomy over how and where you work.

Your mission: turn finance into an engine for growth — funding the right bets, scaling operations with discipline, and building lasting value for our team and our investors. You will report to the CEO.

What You Will Own

• Capital and Growth: Own how we deploy capital, and make the case — internally and externally — for the bets worth making. Give leadership the clarity to invest with conviction and the discipline to scale operations profitably.
• The Financial Future of the Company: Build the long-term value of the business and the opportunities for liquidity that come with it, for our team and our investors. Be the financial principal of the company to the outside world — the counterpart investors, partners, banks, and auditors deal with.
• A World-Class Finance Function: Build, hire, and lead a deliberately lean, AI-leveraged finance organization across our international group. Set the standard for how finance operates, partners with the business, and earns trust company-wide.

Requirements

• Hospitable is a remote-only and distributed company. You should have a strong daily overlap across EMEA and US Eastern timezones.
• A CFO who has led finance through real scale and built lasting value for a company and its shareholders.
• Deep international, multi-entity, multi-currency experience.
• Command of cross-border tax and compliance, including US indirect tax, EU VAT, and Australian GST.
• A recognized accounting qualification (ACCA, ACA, CIMA, or a locally accredited CPA), with real FP&A and modelling depth.
• Proactive communication, high ownership, and strong autonomy in a fast-moving remote environment.
• SaaS-enabled marketplace experience: forecasting both transactional GBV and recurring revenue.
• Travel, hospitality, or proptech sector experience.
• Built a finance function from founder-run to institutional-grade.

Culture: A supportive, radically transparent, and caring team environment, where you are trusted, not managed — a culture focused on results and output.

Cash: The total cash budget for this role is up to US$312,000 per year, depending on the cost of living in your location. We can hire talent internationally as contractors — or employees if you are based in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Australia, taking into account payroll taxes to determine your gross compensation.

Stock: A significant equity stake through our $HOST token (RSUs): a grant valued at US$436,800, vesting over four years (about US$109,200 per year). You share directly in the long-term upside you help create.

Time Off: 35 days off per year, encouraged (including self-serve public holidays) and parental leave.

Mental Health: Complimentary mental health and emotional support with therapists on call through Slack by Spill.
