ABOUT AGORA

At Agora, our mission is to transform how money moves. We believe stablecoins will underpin a new financial fabric, one that is faster, more global, and more efficient than today’s siloed systems. That is why we are building AUSD and the Agora stack, a full service platform that makes issuing, managing, and integrating stablecoins seamless – whether you’re a developer, fintech, or institution. With AUSD, stablecoins become programmable, composable, and ubiquitous by default.
We believe digital dollars should be a public good: trusted, accessible, and built for real-world utility. Our mission is to drive adoption through customizable, user-friendly on-ramps that make stable, dollar-based value available on-chain.
We’re backed by world-class investors including Paradigm and Dragonfly, and we’re growing a team to reimagine how value moves online.
We're intentional about who we bring on. If you’re passionate about stablecoins and want to help create more open, intuitive ways for people to engage with money, let’s talk.

ABOUT THE TEAM

At Agora, we bring the discipline of high-performance finance teams and the creativity of a fast-moving crypto-native startup. We’re a small, mission-driven group of builders who move fast, sweat the details, and hold a high bar for excellence — in product, code, and culture.
You’ll be joining a tight-knit team that values clear thinking, extreme ownership, and high-velocity decision making. We operate in short feedback loops, support one another without ego, and are deeply motivated by the opportunity to build foundational infrastructure for the future of money.

JOB SUMMARY
Reporting to the Director of Finance, you will lead financial planning, forecasting, strategic analysis, and management reporting activities. This role will provide forward-looking financial insights, support enterprise-wide planning and capital management activities, and partner with business leaders to drive informed decision-making. 
We are looking for someone with a high bar for excellence, strong financial and analytical capabilities, and a willingness to challenge assumptions. This is a highly visible, hands-on role with direct exposure to executive leadership and the opportunity to help shape the financial strategy of a rapidly growing financial technology company.

Key Responsibilities
  • Build and maintain consolidated financial models for the Company and its subsidiaries, including detailed forecasts for key business lines and legal entities.
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and long term planning processes across the organization.
  • Lead quarterly re-forecast cycles and monthly management reporting across the organization.
  • Analyze financial and operational performance, identify key trends and variances, and provide actionable recommendations to management.
  • Conduct scenario and sensitivity analyses around key business drivers, including stablecoin circulation growth, reserve yields, and interest rate environments.
  • Develop  financial analyses to support new products, partnerships, strategic initiatives, and expansion opportunities.
  • Prepare monthly financial packages, KPI dashboards, and ad hoc analyses for senior leadership.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Accounting, Risk and Operations teams to monitor and forecast regulatory capital ratios, liquidity positions, and other key financial metrics for regulated entities.
  • Help establish scalable FP&A processes, controls, and reporting frameworks to support the company's continued growth.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
  • 5 - 7 years of progressive experience in FP&A, Strategic Finance, Corporate Finance, Investment Banking, Consulting, or related fields, preferably within financial services, fintech, banking, or digital assets.
  • Strong financial modeling and analytical skills, with the ability to build complex operating, capital, and scenario models from scratch.
  • Experience within cryptocurrency, stablecoins, payments, banking, or regulated financial services
  • Experience developing forecasts, budgets, business cases, and executive-level financial presentations.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate complex financial and business issues into actionable recommendations.
