At KOHO, we are dedicated to providing pay transparency to all candidates. Compensation at KOHO is determined through various factors including but not limited to: comparable salary market data within Canada, technical skill assessment, a holistic view of previous work history, and internal pay equity with other KOHO team members.

About KOHO

We’re on a mission to make financial services better for every Canadian. That means no hidden fees, no predatory interest rates - just financial products designed to help our users spend smart, save more, and build real wealth. We’re a performance organization with a strong heart: we care deeply about outcomes, and everything ties back to our mission - to financially empower a generation of Canadians.

At KOHO, we’re not your average 9-5. We believe real impact comes from people who are trusted, empowered, and supported to do their best work - without sacrificing their lives to do it. We prioritize work-life integration, not just work-life balance. That means asynchronous collaboration, flexible hours, and a remote-first setup built around autonomy and high trust.

KOHO is entering its next chapter - leaner, smarter, more AI-integrated. We’re building for impact, not bureaucracy. If you thrive in environments that value clarity, ownership, and bold thinking, you’ll fit right in.

About the Role

We’re looking for a highly motivated Chief of Staff to join our team for a role to work remotely based in Canada.

• You will support the Director of Strategic Finance, CFO, and CEO in all aspects of equity and debt capital raising, corporate valuation, and investor relations

• You will lead and execute additional direct projects critical to the successful launch of KOHO Bank, working cross-functionally to ensure timely and effective implementation.

• You will support special projects, including investment analysis, business partnership evaluations, key contracts, and long-term financial planning

Who You Are

• 5+ years of relevant experience in Finance, with emphasis on financial modeling, financial planning, and management reporting & analysis, ideally with experience in project management or strategic initiatives.

• Ability to multitask and adapt to a dynamic business

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and senior level stakeholders.
