About the Role

Collide Capital is seeking a CFO to lead the firm's financial strategy, fund operations, reporting infrastructure, and strategic FP&A. Reporting directly to the firm's GPs, you will serve as the primary financial thought partner across the management company and fund entities—starting hands-on with day-to-day execution while progressively taking on broader strategic responsibility across LP reporting, planning, forecasting, and finance infrastructure. You will work closely with the SVP of Operations, who leads firmwide operational infrastructure and compliance, while you own the finance function and partner on finance-related controls, processes, and compliance workflows.

This is a senior leadership role with access to meaningful carry. As the firm grows into a multi-fund, institutional platform, the role will expand in scope across finance, fund operations, financial controls, and strategic planning. The ideal candidate thrives in lean, high-accountability environments, brings sound judgment to complex multi-entity structures, and is genuinely excited to build enduring finance infrastructure at a growing venture firm.
