Your Role

We’re looking for a finance leader who can see both sides of the map: traditional financial discipline and on-chain innovation. As VP Finance, you’ll be responsible for everything from capital planning and investor relations to treasury management and tokenomics.

You’ll oversee all of Sentient’s financial operations, forecasting, budgeting, and compliance, while also helping shape our token model, liquidity strategy, and ecosystem funding approach. This is a high-context, high-impact role for someone who can combine precision with creativity, and who’s comfortable building new systems from the ground up.

Your Responsibilities

• Lead all corporate finance functions including budgeting, forecasting, and reporting

• Oversee both fiat and crypto treasuries, ensuring liquidity, security, and efficiency

• Build and maintain financial models that connect company performance with protocol economics

• Manage investor relations, fundraising, and board-level communications

• Collaborate with product, legal, and protocol teams on tokenomics, incentives, and compliance

• Establish scalable systems for financial operations, audits, and internal controls

• Develop frameworks for risk management, custody, and yield strategies

• Support grants, contributor payments, and ecosystem funding programs

• Serve as a strategic partner to the founders on capital allocation and long-term growth

What You’ll Need

• 10+ years in finance with experience leading or building at a high-growth startup

• Understanding of both traditional finance systems and Web3 economics

• Strong experience managing budgets, cash flow, and investment strategies

• Familiarity with crypto treasuries, stablecoins, and DeFi tooling

• Proven success with fundraising, investor communications, and financial modeling

• Strong organizational skills and a clear, direct communication style
