Location: Spain / Netherlands (flexible, presence required)
Type: Senior leadership / builder role
Scope: International, multi-venture ecosystem
Overview
Context
YOUNG Holding is an international venture platform born in the Netherlands and scaling fast in Spain and beyond.
We build, invest in, and grow companies across hospitality, media, real estate, coffee, startups, and new ventures — all connected by one mission: to build companies that build people.
We operate as an ecosystem:
* High autonomy at venture level
* Shared culture, direction, and long-term vision
* Finance as a growth enabler, not a reporting function
We are now looking for a CFO / senior finance leader to help us bring structure, clarity, and financial direction as we scale internationally.
This is not a classic corporate CFO role.
It’s an opportunity to build and shape the financial foundation of a growing venture holding.
Who We Are Looking For
A senior financial leader with a builder mindset and strong cultural alignment with YOUNG.
Someone who:
* Thinks like a partner, not a controller
* Is hands-on today to unlock scale tomorrow
* Sees finance as a strategic growth tool
* Wants real responsibility, visibility, and long-term impact
Background & Experience
* Senior finance leadership experience in scale-ups or multi-business environments
* Strong understanding of P&L ownership, structuring, and governance
* Experience with fundraising, investor relations, and capital strategy
* Comfortable working across ventures with different maturity levels
* Able to move seamlessly between strategy and execution
Mindset
* Builder mentality (not corporate)
* High ownership and accountability
* Comfortable with ambiguity and imperfect information
* Long-term vision combined with execution discipline
* Ambitious, pragmatic, and down-to-earth cultural fit
The Role
Finance & Leadership
* Build and scale financial systems across multiple ventures
* Create clarity, transparency, and a shared financial language
* Establish lightweight governance that supports growth
Business, Strategy & Capital
* Act as financial partner to founders and venture leaders
* Lead fundraising processes and financial structuring
* Own investor relations and financial storytelling
Operations & Execution
* Step in hands-on when structure is missing
* Prioritize MVP finance over perfection
* Turn complexity into simple, scalable frameworks
Growth & Ownership
This role is designed to grow with the holding .
You will start by bringing structure and clarity across the ecosystem and evolve into a central leadership role as YOUNG Holding scales.
Scope, influence, and impact increase alongside the group’s expansion.
This is a long-term opportunity, not a stepping stone.
Compensation and upside are aligned with responsibility, impact, and long-term value creation.
Final Note
If you are looking for a stable, corporate CFO role, this is not the right fit.
If you want to build before optimizing, create clarity before perfection, and partner closely with founders to scale a venture ecosystem from the inside — we want to meet you.
