About PaxikaPaxika is in its early stages, but our ambition is clear: to build the infrastructure for the culinary world. We're creating a platform that serves chefs, restaurants, and hospitality businesses—not just through services, commerce, and real estate, but through a mindset that puts the industry first.We're not here to disrupt for the sake of it. We’re here to empower those who shape the food world every day—and that requires building from the ground up, thoughtfully and collaboratively.The RoleWe’re looking for a Finance Lead who sees finance not just as numbers, but as a creative and strategic tool. Someone who understands how early-stage startups raise capital, how investments are structured, and how to support growth across multiple verticals.This is an equity-based, founding team role—not salaried for now. We’re in the process of assembling our core team before raising our first institutional capital.

You're looking for equity and ownership, not a temporary gig.Where We Are NowWe’re building. Our early foundations are in place, our mission is clear, and we're assembling a team that wants to shape the long game. We're not raising capital yet, but we’re preparing for it—with intention.This role is for someone who can help us do it right from the start.If this sounds like you, let’s talk.Reach out with a short note and your profile to connect@We believe this industry deserves better—and we’re trying to build it, one thoughtful decision at a time.
