Job description

About tokenforge

tokenforge is an international, lean team developing software for managing the full lifecycle of assets tied to digital financial products in regulated capital markets. The team works in a practical, accountable way and focuses on building software that clients can genuinely depend on.

Engineers, designers, compliance specialists, and founders collaborate closely in a flat organization with fast decision-making and plenty of room for ideas from everyone.

The company is hiring someone to take complete ownership of the commercial and administrative core of the business, with finance and accounting as the top priority, along with contracts. In this role, you will support the founders as a trusted right hand, make decisions on your own, and remove operational load from them so they can concentrate on product and growth. The scope of the position is expected to expand as the company grows.

Finance & Accounting

  • Take end-to-end responsibility for accounting, including the proper recording and handling of the token sale and future crypto-related payment flows, and turn it into a dependable, self-sustaining function.
  • Manage the company’s finance operations, combining in-house work with coordination of the tax advisor and other external partners.
  • Handle day-to-day finance tasks such as invoicing, accounts payable and receivable, payment execution, and expense administration.
  • Set up budgeting, cash and liquidity planning, and recurring financial reports that give the founders continuous visibility.
  • Create the foundations for financial controlling and reporting that can grow with the business.
  • Maintain accurate figures, structured workflows, and records that are ready for review.

Management Support & Organization

  • Act as a close support partner to management by structuring work, setting priorities, and making independent decisions in commercial and administrative matters.
  • Own internal operations across finance and administration and keep daily business activities running efficiently.
  • Take responsibility in defined areas with signing authority (Prokura) and act in the company’s best interest.
  • Help develop finance and administration capabilities that can scale as the organization expands.

Coordination & Interface

  • Serve as the connector between management, internal teams, the tax advisor, external service providers, and legal counsel.
  • Keep the commercial and administrative thread visible and aligned across the company.

HR & Contracts

  • Prepare and review contracts and agreements with the required legal awareness.
  • Cover basic HR administration such as employment contracts, onboarding, and personnel files; this scope may broaden as the company grows.

Your Profile

You should bring several years of experience in a commercial and administrative role, ideally with a strong emphasis on finance and accounting. The company is looking for someone who is independent, highly practical, able to get up to speed quickly, and comfortable taking ownership from the start. A mid-term perspective and interest in growing with the business are important.

Strong German is essential for communicating with authorities, tax advisors, partners, and when working on contracts; good English is also needed for collaboration in an international team.

Strong Plus

  • Prior experience as an executive assistant, board assistant, or Chief of Staff.
  • Previous signing authority (Prokura) or a similar level of responsibility.
  • Experience in fintech, banking, or another regulated environment.
  • Exposure to tokenization, crypto-assets, or digital financial products.
  • A background or degree in business or law.
  • Experience with HR administration or people operations, especially as the function grows over time.

What the company offers

  • Fully remote work with flexible working hours.
  • Competitive pay, plus extra benefits including VSOP and token allocations.
  • Direct exposure to founders, senior engineers, and licensed partners.
  • The opportunity to build the finance and administration function from scratch.
  • High ownership over your processes, structure, and decisions.
  • The chance to work in a fast-scaling company in a highly dynamic area of finance.

Additional information

This role is based in Germany and is offered as a full-time remote position. The company expects the person in this role to bring strong ownership, commercial judgment, and the ability to independently manage a broad set of finance, administrative, and coordination responsibilities.
