Why CORVIDA
CORVIDA is reimagining how affluent families manage their finances. We're building the modern alternative to a family office by delivering sophisticated financial management to HNW families through a combination of white-glove service coupled with AI-driven efficiency.
Backed by Fieldcrest Ventures, we are preparing to launch with 100 founding families in January 2026. This is your chance to be part of the founding team who will define not just a company, but an entirely new category of financial service.
The Role
As Chief Operating Officer / President, you will be the operational architect of CORVIDA's transformation of financial services. This is not a traditional COO role. This is an opportunity to run a venture-backed startup with the strategic guidance of a serial entrepreneur, while building toward your own CEO future.
You will:
- Own day-to-day operations across product, engineering, tax services, and customer success
- Execute the strategic vision to disrupt a $36B market opportunity
- Build and lead a world-class team from the ground up
- Drive the company from $1M to $10M+ ARR while achieving 70%+ gross margins
- Collaborate with Fieldcrest to leverage pattern recognition from portfolio companies
- Prepare to assume the CEO role within 18-24 months as CORVIDA graduates from Fieldcrest's active management
This role is as much about building a category-defining company as it is about your own leadership development.
Why This Role Matters
- Company Builder - You're not joining a company; you're building one. Every system, every hire, every decision shapes CORVIDA's DNA
- De-Risked CEO Path - Get the experience of being a CEO with the strategic support of a successful serial founder who's done this multiple times
- Category Creation - You'll help invent an entirely new way for 2M+ families to manage their finances, creating massive value in an underserved market
- Accelerated Learning - Skip years of expensive mistakes through direct mentorship and access to playbooks from Fieldcrest's portfolio
Join Us
CORVIDA is not hiring employees. We're assembling a team of builders — people who will own and shape the future of financial services.
