Education: B.A/BSc/HND

Job-type: Full Time, Remote

Location: Kenya

At Axmed we use innovative technology to aggregate demand for quality medicines, ensuring patients receive the best care. By partnering with the public and private sectors, we bridge the gap between high-income markets and the needs of developing countries:

  • Ensuring equitable access to essential medicines.
  • Partnering with caregivers to improve patient outcomes.
  • Bridging global healthcare gaps with cutting-edge solutions.

Job Overview

As our CFO, you’ll be more than a financial steward; you’ll be a strategic partner, an architect of impact, and a driving force behind our global mission. This isn’t a traditional finance role. You’ll be at the forefront of:

  • Securing Capital: Leading equity, debt, and impact financing rounds, attracting investment from VCs, DFIs, and global health funders.
  • Structuring Innovation: Designing and managing innovative financing solutions, including a revolving credit fund to empower healthcare buyers in LMICs.
  • Building Scalability: Optimizing our revenue model, ensuring financial sustainability, and navigating complex financial landscapes across multiple geographies.
  • Driving Impact: Working closely with the CEO, leadership team, and investors to ensure every financial decision aligns with our mission to improve healthcare equity.
  • Building a Legacy: Cultivating a high-performing finance team and establishing robust financial systems to support our exponential growth.

What You Bring

  • A high-growth finance leader: You have 12+ years of experience, including 5+ years in a senior finance role (CFO, SVP Finance, or similar top seniority), ideally in a startup, marketplace, fintech, or global health organization.
  • A hands-on executor: You’re just as comfortable building financial models and excel budgeting as you are pitching investors or closing a funding round.
  • Deep expertise in corporate finance & capital raising: You’ve fully led fundraising from VCs, structured debt deals, managed investor funds, and optimized capital allocation at scale.
  • Expertise in corporate finance: 7+ years of experience on global accounting and reporting across multiple entities, including transfer pricing structures and complying with different tax regulations.
  • Impact finance & credit tools experience You understand impact investing, credit risk assessment, and blended finance models—bonus points if you’ve worked with DFIs or health financing institutions.
  • Strategic yet scrappy: You can think big and move fast, balancing financial strategy with execution in a dynamic, startup environment. Adapt quickly to change and roll up your sleeves to get work done.
  • Strong communicator & stakeholder manager: You can engage investors, funders, regulators, and internal teams with clarity and influence.
