The Opportunity

We’re looking for a CFO to lead Voltic’s fundraising strategy and help shape our trajectory through one of the most capital-intensive and impactful sectors in the world. This is not a traditional CFO role. We need someone who can tell a compelling financial story to investors, structure smart capital stacks (equity, debt, and non-dilutive), and build a long-term financial model that scales with our ambitions. You’ll work directly with the CEO and our board to fundraise, drive investor strategy, and build the financial foundation for first-of-its-kind vessels.


What You’ll Do

  • Help with all aspects of capital formation: equity rounds, venture debt, private credit, government-backed loans (e.g. MARAD Title XI), and grant funding
  • Lead our fundraising strategy end-to-end, inlcuding pitch development, investor targeting, outreach, diligence, and closing
  • Develop investor materials and financial narratives that translate technical complexity into clear, compelling logic
  • Manage relationships with institutional investors, lenders, and strategic partners
  • Collaborate with engineering, commercial, and regulatory teams to align capital planning with build and revenue milestones
  • Build and eventually lead the finance function at Voltic

We’re Looking for Someone Who Has

  • Raised capital at the startup or infrastructure stage (Series Seed–C+, project finance, or institutional debt)
  • A strong network of warm relationships with the relevant parties, e.g. climate-focused VCs, infrastructure funds, family offices, and/or public financing agencies
  • Deep familiarity with complex capital stacks: equity + debt + public/non-dilutive layers
  • Experience in climate tech, energy, maritime, mobility, logistics, or adjacent capital-intensive sectors
  • The ability to lead and scale a finance team over time

Bonus Points For

  • Prior work in shipping or shipping finance
  • Familiarity with government-backed loan programs (DOE, MARAD, EXIM) or infrastructure finance
  • Background in private equity, venture capital, or project finance

Why Voltic

  • Work on a once-in-a-generation opportunity to modernize one of the world’s largest industries
  • Join a small, driven team tackling a global challenge
  • Have a seat at the table as we scale from prototype to commercial fleet
  • Competitive comp + equity + opportunity to shape the long-term cap table
  • Remote-first with Boston & NYC available for in-person collaboration
