Chief Financial Officer in London

Ctrl Alt is designing and operating the on‐chain infrastructure powering digital capital markets globally. We bring together a unique blend of expertise in financial markets and cutting‐edge in‐house technology to deliver tailored, compliant solutions in the alternative assets space. Since launching in 2022, we have tokenised over $850m in assets across real estate, private credit, funds, litigation finance and more.

We are building a high‐performance, people‐first culture where ambitious individuals can thrive. We move fast, think big and hold ourselves to a high bar, while keeping things collaborative, open and genuinely fun. At Ctrl Alt, ideas win on merit, teams work closely with leadership, and everyone has a voice in shaping what we build next. We believe that hard work should come with real reward. You won’t just join a company – you’ll help build one. Last year alone, we grew from 17 to 50 people, and this year we’re going faster and further. That means real responsibility, meaningful impact, and the opportunity to grow alongside a company that’s redefining the future of finance through the tokenisation of alternative assets.

If you’re excited by scale‐up energy, ownership, and the chance to help shape both a business and a culture, Ctrl Alt is where you can do the most rewarding work of your career.

What’s Involved

We’re hiring a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to lead Ctrl Alt through its next phase of rapid international growth and institutional scale.

You will own Ctrl Alt’s financial strategy, capital planning, regulatory finance, and investor engagement, partnering closely with the CEO, Board, and senior leadership team.

• Ensure robust revenue recognition across tokenisation fees, TVL‐linked revenues, issuance structures, and blockchain‐native income.
• Partner with Product and Commercial teams to design and evaluate the financial economics of new products, SPVs, and tokenised asset structures.
• Mentor the existing finance function. Build out a high‐performing finance function spanning FP&A, accounting, and regulatory finance.
• Lead fundraising initiatives, future capital raises, owning financial models, data rooms, and investor materials.
