About Us

At Opengates, we are reimagining digital work as a tool for social transformation. Our platform bridges the gap between global opportunities and marginalized communities, empowering individuals through accessible digital work and lifelong learning. We’re a lean, agile startup fueled by passion and a relentless drive to dismantle barriers—where every decision has the power to change lives.

The Role

As our CFO, you will be a founding financial leader in an environment where every resource counts. You’re not just a numbers person; you’re a strategic partner, a creative problem solver, and a change agent who thrives on uncertainty. Your decisions will directly impact our growth, fuel our mission, and help us attract the right partners and investors—all while working on an equity-based compensation model that makes you a true stakeholder in our future.

• Capital & Resource Management:
  • Develop creative, investor-friendly fundraising strategies that reflect our equity-first approach.
  • Optimize cash flow, budgeting, and forecasting in a fast-paced, high-impact setting.
• Drive Strategic Partnerships:
  • Collaborate closely with our leadership team to secure and manage strategic partnerships, turning financial insights into actionable business opportunities.

  • Ensure financial transparency and accountability, while adapting to the rapidly evolving challenges of a startup.
• Lead & Inspire:
  • Build, mentor, and guide a small, passionate finance team that is as dedicated to our social mission as you are.
  • Foster a culture where innovative thinking is the norm, and every team member’s contribution is valued.
