VP, Financial Planning & Analysis

– Equity Partner –

Location: Remote

Jurisdiction: Global

Minimum Commitment: 20 hours per week

Department: Finance & Investment

Team: Finance

Reports To: CFO (Chief Financial Officer)

This is not a job. It’s a challenge to lead the game studio of the future.

What You Put In Is What You Get Out

This is a founder-level strategic and analytical command post. As Vice President of Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), you are the financial nerve center of Anime Universe. Every forecast, every flow of capital, every lever of scale—draws power from your foresight.

You don’t just track numbers. You architect the economic backbone of our world-building engine. You design systems that thrive in hybrid economies—where fiat, crypto, and token-based value converge.

You engineer systems of momentum. You map out futures, stress-test realities, and distill complexity into strategic clarity. Through your lens, data becomes direction, risk becomes opportunity, and creative ambition is grounded in scalable, financial precision.

Minimum commitment: 20 hours/week. If that’s not feasible, this isn’t your stage.

This is an equity partner role. That means:

• No upfront cash compensation
• Equity (shares) at founding partner level (vesting standard)
• Future token-based rewards (pending legal review)
• Salary activates with revenue-based milestones
• Remote-first, async-native, prototype-and-play execution model

Let’s Be Absolutely Clear

• This is not a corporate finance role at a legacy studio.
• This is not a back-office budgeting job.
• You are the strategist. The model oracle. The architect of scalable vision.
• You define how our company grows, adapts, invests, and endures.
• Your work will ripple through IPs, influence creative bets, shape investor confidence, and empower generations of Anime Universe builders.
• You think across currencies, jurisdictions, and creative markets—our stage is global, our model must flex.

Overview

We’re recruiting a VP, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) to serve as the founding strategist, system modeler, and fiscal command for Anime Universe’s multi-revenue, IP-powered entertainment ecosystem.

You will set the financial architecture and predictive intelligence for our proprietary stack:

• A zero-dependency revenue forecasting and cost modeling engine
• Cross-functional P&L frameworks spanning content, platform, and merchandising
• Investment ROI systems for original anime IP and platform-scale tech
• Real-time, scenario-based models that inform both centralized and decentralized growth paths
• Executive and investor-grade storytelling through data-driven narrative
• Financial frameworks for token-based monetization (PIT tokens), IPX-driven licensing, and decentralized ecosystem incentives — with auditability and regulatory compliance
• Guide the financial evolution of our global growth strategy.

What You’ll Own

• Architect Anime Universe’s forecasting vision, capital allocation strategy, and long-range planning philosophy
• Design, own, and scale dynamic models for revenue, cost, pricing, and investment returns across all business verticals
• Build capital frameworks for new forms of value capture—AI-native IP, on-chain asset markets, and community-driven monetization
• Partner directly with business leads to drive strategic decisions and operational discipline
• Lead and mentor a high-performance team of FP&A analysts, BI engineers, and cross-functional collaborators
• Be the final voice on financial risk, funding scenarios, and economic clarity behind creative and platform decisions
• Shape and execute board-level storytelling—investor decks, internal reviews, funding narratives
• Establish rituals of strategic foresight, financial storytelling, and model-driven alignment across the company

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years in FP&A, corporate finance, or strategic planning—ideally in media, SaaS, gaming, or subscription platforms
• Deep experience in high-impact budgeting, financial modeling, and investor reporting
• Proven track record of leading planning processes from zero to scale across creative or tech-heavy orgs
• Mastery in Excel and fluency in BI platforms (Power BI, Tableau, or custom dashboards)
• Comfort working across fiat, crypto, and token-based financial models
• Ability to support cross-jurisdictional financial compliance in rapidly evolving regulatory landscapes
• Strategic storytelling instincts—you transform data into conviction
• Ability to unify art, product, and finance through actionable insight and operational empathy
• Bonus: Experience supporting global IPs, licensing, or entertainment ecosystems; startup-to-scale-up finance leadership; web3-native or blockchain-integrated business models

Compensation

• Equity (Shares): Founding partner-level equity
• Token-Based Rewards: Future layer pending legal compliance
• Future Salary: Activates with key revenue triggers
• Remote First: Fully distributed team; async-native execution

Our Promise

You will be the spine of Infinite Play Studios. You will shape the future of how we play, simulate, and story-tell. Your frameworks will help define how the next generation of creators, players, and partners interact with value—on-chain and beyond. Your fingerprints will be on everything we make—engine, interface, IP, emotion. If you’ve been waiting to create something impossible and unrepeatable—this is your moment.
