- 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
