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
