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. We are also focused on incubating protocols that can support both tokenized real-world assets and traditional crypto.
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 Head of Strategic Finance 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 own our forward-looking financial model and planning process, develop the KPIs and analysis that help us understand business and product performance, and translate those insights into clear recommendations for the executive team. You will also support board and investor communications, capital allocation, strategic partnerships, financing activity, and other priorities as they arise.
This is a hands-on, highly cross-functional role at the intersection of FP&A, strategic finance, and capital strategy. You will partner closely with leaders across Product, Revenue, Operations, Accounting, and other functions, while helping build the financial infrastructure and processes that will support Ondo as we continue to scale.
