Chief Financial Officer

Real opportunities. Real impact. Your career, redefined.

(NOTE: A human reviews every application at Oceans , so please apply for only one position and only once a yea r—if you're a better fit for another role, we’ll route your application accordingly and if we’re not quite ready for you, we’ll reach back out later.)

At Oceans , we help the best and brightest of Sri Lanka to take advantage of opportunities that otherwise wouldn’t be available to them, while supporting entrepreneurs around the world. Our community (we call them Divers ) don’t do surface work—they go deep to solve complex challenges and make a real impact. And in doing so, they support bold ideas, expand their skills, broaden their expertise, and grow their careers, all without having to leave family and friends.

As the Chief Financial Officer , you will play a critical role in supporting a diversified family office overseeing operating businesses, private equity investments, public equities, and real estate assets. You'll work closely with the principal to build a sophisticated strategic finance capability across the portfolio, providing the forecasting, financial modelling, investment analysis, and quantitative decision support needed to make informed capital allocation decisions.

This role is ideal for a senior finance leader who combines deep FP&A and financial modelling expertise with strong commercial judgment and an investment-oriented mindset. Rather than functioning as a traditional Controller or reporting-focused CFO, you'll act as the principal's senior financial thought partner—building the family's forward-looking finance capability, evaluating investment opportunities, challenging assumptions, identifying risks, and proactively uncovering opportunities to grow and optimize the portfolio.
Here's how you'll make an impact:
