What are the responsibilities and job description for the Chief Executive Officer position at Phifer & Company?
CEO - NYC - Fintech (previous C-Suite level experience) 800k Incentives / bonus / Equity.
You’re not just a CEO. You’re an architect of culture, a storyteller who can turn financial jargon into a movement, and a risk-taker who knows when to double down and when to pivot. You see fintech as more than just payments, lending, or blockchain—it’s about reimagining how people interact with money.
You believe :
A company is only as strong as its team, and a great team is built on trust, autonomy, and a shared sense of purpose.
Strategy is important, but execution wins the game.
Data is king, but intuition is the queen that keeps it in check.
Customers are the real investors—we answer to them first.
What You’ll Actually Do :
Be the Face & the Fire – Inspire investors, customers, and employees with a clear vision and relentless execution. You’re the storyteller who turns our fintech mission into a movement.
Champion the Culture – Build an environment where curiosity, agility, and ownership thrive. Keep the bureaucracy minimal and the impact massive.
Make (Smart) Bets – Spot trends before they become mainstream, take calculated risks, and pivot when necessary.
Ensure We’re Not Just Fintech—We’re Finwin – Drive innovation that creates real, tangible value, not just hype. Whether it’s AI-driven lending, embedded finance, or decentralized solutions, make sure we’re leading, not following.
Hire Giants, Not Followers – Attract and retain A-players who challenge, innovate, and make decisions better than you do.
Scale Without Losing Our Soul – We’re growing, but we refuse to become slow, bloated, or boring. Keep us agile, lean, and human-centered.
What You Bring :
A track record of leading and scaling high-growth teams—maybe in fintech, maybe somewhere wilder.
The ability to tell a story that gets investors excited and customers loyal.
A love for data, but an even deeper love for decisive action.
A mindset that sees failure as tuition and success as fuel.
An allergic reaction to micromanagement and red tape.
What We Offer :
The chance to redefine fintech and leave a lasting impact.
A team that moves fast, breaks barriers, and isn’t afraid to challenge norms.
Competitive comp, equity, and the chance to build something legendary.
If this sounds like the challenge you were born for, let’s talk.
