Strategic Finance Lead - Ondo Finance

About the Company

Hi, we're Ondo Finance. Our mission is to provide institutional-grade, blockchain-enabled investment products and services. We have both a technology arm that develops decentralized finance technology, and an asset management arm that creates and manages tokenized funds. We were the first company to tokenize exposure to US Treasuries, and have since expanded into several other assets.

Founded by folks from Goldman Sachs Digital Assets Team, we’re backed by some of the best investors in the world including Founders Fund, Coinbase Ventures, Pantera Capital, Tiger Global, and more. We are currently the leaders in the space in terms of AUM and are well capitalized to continue growing the firm. We're fully remote, with team members across the U.S.

About the Role

Reporting directly to the CFO, the Strategic Finance Lead will play a central role in shaping Ondo’s financial strategy and providing leadership with the insights needed to make high-impact decisions across the business.

You will also support board and investor communications, capital allocation, strategic partnerships, financing activity, and other priorities as they arise.
