About the Role
Dorsia is seeking a Chief Financial Officer to build and own a complete end-to-end agentic financial infrastructure that will take the company from Series A to Series B (and beyond). This role sits at the intersection of financial strategy, operational rigor, and organizational leadership, with direct ownership across Finance, Compliance, Business Intelligence, and Human Capital.
The CFO will architect and deploy agentic AI systems across every function they own, from autonomous reporting and forecasting to compliance monitoring and BI.The financial fundamentals matter deeply, as does the way Dorsia builds its financial infrastructure with an AI-first mindset. This role owns the full accounting and FP&A function, leads Series B preparation, and serves as the primary financial partner to the CEO on capital allocation and corporate development decisions.
Beyond finance, the CFO will oversee legal and compliance across Dorsia’s international markets, manage IT and facilities infrastructure, ensure the business runs on reliable, AI-powered data infrastructure, and own compensation, benefits, and payroll. This is a broad mandate and intentionally so. Dorsia needs a finance leader who is excited to build the infrastructure of a category-defining company from scratch. The foundation you lay here will directly shape how far and how fast Dorsia grows, and the results will be measurable.

Workplace Philosophy at Dorsia
At Dorsia, we believe that culture eats strategy. The best ideas in the world mean nothing without the right people around the table and the right chemistry between them. We are, unapologetically, a people-first organization.
In-Person Matters
We’re creating once-in-a-lifetime experiences for the most discerning audience in the world. That doesn’t happen over Zoom. It happens through collisions: a spark across a desk, a kitchen-side conversation that unlocks a partnership, the energy of ideas felt, not typed. That’s why in-office culture is non-negotiable at Dorsia.
Who We Hire
We don’t subscribe to check-the-box hiring. We hire for merit and mindset, which naturally creates a team with varied backgrounds. What unites us isn’t demographics, it’s a shared vision: to build the social operating system for the cultural vanguard.
Lifestyle Hours
We’re not a 9-to-5 company. Our lifestyle mirrors our members. Early flights, after-work events, and late-night sprints when the work demands it. But we love what we do, and we definitely love a good party.
High Performance Culture
Working at Dorsia isn’t for everyone—and that’s the point. Our culture is designed for builders, not passengers. We move fast, set ambitious standards, and expect people to rise to them. If you have the talent and the drive, this will be a ride to remember.
A Final Word
We’re building something special. It will take long hours and relentless effort. It’s not for everyone. For those with the metabolism, you’ll create something that changes how culture is lived. And that’s the kind of work worth your life’s energy.
