Finance Manager at Decentralized Masters. WHO WE ARE. Decentralized Masters is a profitable, bootstrapped DeFi education company.   In just 4 years, we’ve grown from 0 to 150 people with $50M in ARR, 4,500+ Members and scaling toward $75-100M revenue in 2026. We operate across multiple jurisdictions (mainly the UAE & the US) and have ambitious plans to expand into new, complementary business lines this year. We move at an uncomfortable pace, but that is exactly the way we like it..  . Our Members love the product, and we’ve built a top-tier sales, marketing, and product team to match..  . Now it’s time to build the foundation that supports the next phase of exponential growth, and that starts with a world-class finance function.. THE OPPORTUNITY. We require a highly competent, experienced and intelligent right-hand: someone who can manage, motivate, and develop a junior finance team while helping to shape a forward-thinking, AI-driven finance function from the ground up..  . This is not a role for someone set in their ways. You’ll be working alongside a young, sharp, and ambitious C-suite that moves fast, thinks differently, and expects the same from you.. THE ROLE. As Finance Manager, you’ll own the day-to-day financial operations, managing the accounting team, keeping the books clean and accurate, timely, and insight-ready, and ensuring the function runs like clockwork. You are the operational engine that frees the CFOO to focus on strategy and growth..  .
