Finance Director
About Somnia:
SOMNIA is the Agentic Chain - a hyper-performance L1 operating at an order of magnitude faster than existing networks. We empower builders and traders to create real-time, autonomous, and fully decentralized products, powered by agents, that were previously impossible and cannot be built anywhere else. It’s where the future of Web3 protocols will be built, so we’re facilitating a new wave of on-chain applications from DEX to Prediction Protocols and much, much more.
Somnia is being developed by Somnia Foundation backed by Improbable, a British tech Unicorn, that has been at the forefront of building virtual worlds for over a decade. Somnia received initial funding from MSquared, which raised $150 million from a16z crypto, SoftBank, Mirana Ventures, CMT Digital, and SIG.
About the Role:
We are seeking a Finance Director to lead and scale our financial operations in a Web3 environment. This role covers forecasting and budgeting, managing both fiat and crypto treasury, ensuring compliance, and building processes that drive financial discipline as we grow.

As Finance Director, you will work closely with the Finance team and report directly to the COO, playing a critical role in shaping financial strategy, driving operational excellence, and safeguarding company assets in a fast-moving Web3 landscape.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead company-wide financial planning & forecasting across fiat and crypto, including burn rate, runway, and scenario modeling.
Set up and manage proprietary fiat and crypto treasury capital and ensure asset diversification.

Ensure accurate reporting of on-chain/off-chain transactions, token flows, and crypto accounting treatment.
Drive compliance with tax, regulatory, and audit requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
Provide clear financial insights and reporting to the COO, leadership team, board, and investors.
Implement and improve financial systems, tools, and internal controls to support scale.
Lead, mentor, and develop the Finance team to deliver high-quality execution.
Requirements:
8+ years in finance, accounting, or treasury, with at least 3+ years in crypto/Web3.
Proven expertise in financial modeling and forecasting, including runway and token economics.
In-depth knowledge of treasury management and asset diversification strategies.
Strong understanding of GAAP/IFRS standards and crypto-specific accounting practices.
Familiarity with cross-border tax, regulatory, and compliance requirements for crypto assets.
Demonstrated ability to design and enforce financial processes, policies, and risk controls.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to present complex financials to non-finance stakeholders.
Leadership experience managing finance teams and collaborating cross-functionally.
