WHO WE ARE <\/strong> <\/p>\n Decentralized Masters is a profitable, bootstrapped DeFi education company. In just 4 years, we\u2019ve grown from 0 to 150 people with $50M in ARR, 4,500+ Members and scaling toward $75-100M revenue in 2026. We operate across multiple jurisdictions (mainly the UAE & the US) and have ambitious plans to expand into new, complementary business lines this year. We move at an uncomfortable pace, but that is exactly the way we like it. <\/p>\n Our Members love the product, and we\u2019ve built a top-tier sales, marketing, and product team to match. <\/p>\n Now it\u2019s time to build the foundation that supports the next phase of exponential growth, and that starts with a world-class finance function. <\/p>\n THE OPPORTUNITY <\/strong> <\/p>\n We require a highly competent, experienced and intelligent right-hand: someone who can manage, motivate, and develop a junior finance team while helping to shape a forward-thinking, AI-driven finance function from the ground up. <\/p>\n This is not a role for someone set in their ways.
