Lhoopa is transforming access to affordable housing through a technology-enabled and decentralized network of contractors, brokers, and field partners. To date, we have delivered more than 7,000 homes benefiting over 32,000 Filipinos.

We are looking for a Group Chief Financial Officer to lead the capital strategy, financial transformation, and regional finance organization that will support our next stage of growth.

This is not a conventional back-office finance role. As a strategic partner to the CEO, COO and Board, you will shape how Lhoopa raises and deploys capital, enters new markets, strengthens financial performance, and builds an institutional-grade finance function.

Capital Strategy and Institutional Funding

1. Develop and execute Lhoopa’s capital strategy to support property acquisition, construction, and regional expansion.
2. Lead institutional fundraising across equity, debt, structured finance, private credit, DFIs, family offices, and impact-aligned investors.
3. Design financing structures, investment vehicles, credit facilities, and strategic partnerships that expand acquisition capacity.
4. Lead investor discussions, financial due diligence, term-sheet negotiations, closing, covenant management, and investor reporting.
5. Build strong, long-term relationships with institutional investors, lenders, advisors, and capital partners.

Strategic Finance and Business Partnership

1. Partner with the CEO and Board on long-range planning, capital allocation, regional expansion, profitability, and enterprise value creation.
2. Establish rigorous FP&A, forecasting, scenario planning, unit economics, and performance-management frameworks.
3. Translate financial and operational data into clear recommendations for business and investment decisions.
4. Evaluate strategic investments, partnerships, acquisitions, restructuring opportunities, and potential exit or recapitalization pathways.
5. Provide financial leadership across property acquisition, construction, sales, and market-entry decisions.

Finance Transformation and Regional Operations

1. Build institutional-grade financial operations across multiple entities and markets.
2. Strengthen accounting, controllership, treasury, tax, risk management, internal controls, and regulatory compliance.
3. Lead multi-entity consolidation and ensure compliance with applicable IFRS, GAAP, and local statutory requirements.
4. Improve reporting accuracy, forecast reliability, cash visibility, working-capital management, and month-end close.
5. Lead finance-system and process transformation to support real-time decision-making and scalable regional operations.

Organization and Team Leadership

1. Build, restructure, and develop high-performing teams across Finance, FP&A, Treasury, and Capital Markets.
2. Establish clear accountability, performance standards, succession plans, and leadership capability.
3. Drive alignment across Finance, Legal, Acquisition, Construction, and Operations.
4. Create a culture of commercial thinking, disciplined execution, transparency, and continuous improvement.
5. Remain hands-on in critical transactions and transformation initiatives while building a scalable leadership team.

1. At least 15 years of progressive finance experience, including significant senior leadership or CFO-level responsibility.
2. Proven experience leading finance across multiple countries, entities, or business lines within Southeast Asia or the broader APAC region.
3. Strong background in a high-growth, capital-intensive environment such as proptech, real estate, fintech, financial services, infrastructure, technology, logistics, or another platform-based business.
4. Demonstrated ownership of significant institutional fundraising, debt facilities, structured-finance transactions, investment vehicles, M&A, or strategic corporate-finance initiatives.
5. Strong command of FP&A, treasury, liquidity, controllership, consolidation, tax, internal controls, and regulatory compliance.
6. Experience transforming finance teams, systems, reporting processes, and operating models.
7. Track record of building and leading high-performing regional finance organizations.
8. Confidence engaging boards, institutional investors, lenders, founders, and senior stakeholders.
9. Strong commercial judgment and the ability to balance long-term strategy with hands-on execution.
10. Experience supporting growth-stage companies through regional expansion, institutionalization, restructuring, recapitalization, or exit preparation is highly preferred.

This role offers the opportunity to:

1. Architect the capital platform behind Lhoopa’s Southeast Asian expansion.
2. Shape the company’s financial strategy, operating model, and institutional readiness.
3. Build and lead a regional finance organization.
4. Convert institutional capital into measurable housing and community impact.
5. Participate meaningfully in the long-term value created during Lhoopa’s next stage of growth.

If you have built finance organizations across markets, led complex capital transactions, and want to help scale an innovative housing platform across Southeast Asia, we would welcome a confidential conversation.
