Job description

Mining CFOs & Strategic Finance Architects Your Legacy Role Awaits

This is not a back-office job.
This is front-line finance, in the boardroom, in the investment stack, and at the sharp edge of Africas battery minerals future.

A fast-scaling mining investment firm is building its executive braintrust and we are looking for a Consultant Financial Director to architect the finance function from the ground up.

Your mission:
Lay the financial and commercial foundations for early-stage coal, metals, and energy-transition projects across Sub-Saharan Africa. This is a seat-at-the-table role, advising founders, shaping deal structures, and driving high-stakes decisions that directly impact project success and capital outcomes.

Your tools:
Investor decks. NPV models. Tax strategy. ERP systems. Compliance frameworks. You will bring order, insight, and strategic muscle to a lean team moving at speed.

Your stage:
A fully remote, fixed-term contract (3 to 6 months), with the potential to transition into a permanent CFO-level role as the business scales into full operations.

What you will own:

  • Full financial governance design (multi-jurisdictional)
  • Capital structuring, offtake and JV advisory
  • Setup of ERP, controls, and cost frameworks
  • Live financial modelling of exploration and development assets
  • Commercial risk mapping and board-level strategic input
  • Recruitment and onboarding of future finance hires

What we want:

  • 20+ years in finance with executive-level mining experience
  • Deep exposure to coal, base or battery metals
  • A builder, not a caretaker, you move fast, think strategically, and execute independently
  • Commercially fluent in project finance, tax structuring, investor relations, and legal intersections
  • Experienced across African mining jurisdictions (advantageous)

This is your chance to:

  • Leave a mark in one of the most future-critical mining segments
  • Work alongside a visionary founding team with real traction
  • Set the financial tone for how Africas battery mineral future is built

If you are looking to build more than balance sheets, if you want to build legacy, apply now!
