Director of Strategic Finance

OleOle is seeking a Director of Strategic Finance to build and own the financial model behind a global football platform with multiple interconnected businesses.

This is not a traditional accounting or controllership role. We are looking for someone who can take a complex platform strategy and translate it into a rigorous, investor-grade financial model that demonstrates how OleOle’s businesses develop individually and collectively as the platform scales.

Your first major responsibility will be building the OleOle master financial model. The model will examine the business at approximately 50 million, 100 million and 400 million global users, allowing assumptions around adoption, engagement, transaction volume, pricing, margins and penetration to change dynamically across the ecosystem.

You will build detailed economic models for OleOleSport ticketing, travel and VIP hospitality; Bad Monkey, our planned hybrid fixed-odds and prediction-market gaming business; Mini Programs and third-party commerce; sponsorship and commercial partnerships; and NewZeros, OleOle’s planned financial infrastructure encompassing payments, wallets, transaction processing and exchange capabilities.

NewZeros represents a particularly important long-term opportunity. The model must go beyond conventional exchange economics to examine what happens if OleOle’s financial infrastructure participates in payments and transactions generated throughout an ecosystem serving tens or potentially hundreds of millions of users.

OleOleSport requires a different approach. Because ticketing, travel and hospitality can potentially generate revenue before OleOle develops a large social audience, you will build a detailed bottom-up model for this business and help demonstrate its role as an early commercial engine.

You will also model OleOle’s capital requirements, cash utilization, operating expenses, unit economics, gross margins and long-term profitability. The objective is not to manufacture aggressive revenue projections. It is to create a defensible model in which management and investors can change assumptions and immediately understand their effect on the business.

You will work directly with the Founder & CEO and, as the company grows, with our CFO and business-unit leadership. The financial model you create will become a permanent management and fundraising tool and will evolve as actual operating data replaces assumptions.

Following funding, this role will continue as a senior member of OleOle’s finance organization, owning strategic planning, forecasting, budgeting, business-unit economics, KPI development, scenario analysis and financial reporting while helping build the company’s broader finance function.

We are looking for someone with exceptional financial modeling and analytical ability who understands how to model businesses such as marketplaces, payments, fintech, exchanges, gaming, consumer platforms or other transaction-driven businesses. Experience in investment banking, strategic finance, growth-stage technology, private equity, venture-backed companies or similarly rigorous financial environments would be particularly relevant.

The right person must be comfortable starting with ambiguity. OleOle is creating businesses that do not fit neatly into a conventional SaaS model. You will be expected to understand how each economic engine actually works, challenge assumptions, identify missing variables and construct the financial framework from the ground up.

This is ultimately the person who turns our vision into numbers sophisticated investors can interrogate.

OleOle is currently being built by a team working under deferred compensation while we complete our funding. This is not an unpaid or volunteer position: compensation is agreed upon in writing and accrues during the deferred period, becoming payable following funding. Once funded, this role will transition to a traditional compensation structure including a competitive salary, equity ownership and participation in the OleX token program. We are looking for someone who understands the realities of building an ambitious company before institutional funding and wants to remain with OleOle as the company grows.
