Job Description

Company Description

At OatFi, we’re building the complete API infrastructure for B2B payment platforms to embed and monetize working capital solutions. We’re dedicated to enhancing financial access for SMBs, and supporting the ongoing paradigm shift happening in B2B payments. 

By leveraging OatFi’s API, platform partners empower commercial end-users with the tools needed to collapse their cashflow conversion cycles, supporting organic growth while shepherding billions in offline payments volume online. 

We are a fast-growing company offering an opportunity for the right candidate to join at the ground floor. At OatFi, you will have the chance to shape the future of fintech and make a significant impact from day one.

Job Description

As Chief of Staff to the CEO at OatFi, you’ll be a core member of the executive team and play a pivotal role in OatFi’s long-term success by driving day-to-day operations, building high-performing teams, and creating scalable processes to take the company to its next billion in origination volume.

You’ll serve as the CEO’s right hand—unlocking extreme operational leverage and ensuring priorities are executed efficiently and effectively. This is a unique opportunity to work directly with the CEO and gain full visibility into the inner workings of a fast-growing, Series A fintech startup.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity and is ready to tackle any challenge—big or small.
