Job Description:
About UsIZEA Worldwide, Inc. ("IZEA") is a marketing technology
company providing software and professional services that enable
brands to collaborate and transact with the full spectrum of
today's top social influencers and content creators. The company
serves as a champion for the growing Creator Economy, enabling
individuals to monetize their content, creativity, and influence.
IZEA launched the industry's first-ever influencer marketing
platform in 2006 and has since facilitated nearly 4 million
transactions between online buyers and sellers. Leading brands and
agencies partner with IZEA to increase digital engagement,
diversify brand voice, scale content production, and drive
highly-measurable return on investment.IZEA is a microcap public
company traded on NASDAQ. The company has raised $25.7 million and
traded over $1B in stock in 2020. We have launched two new software
platforms this year and we are seeking a new executive to join our
leadership team as we embark on our next stage of growth.We are an
equal opportunity employer and celebrate diversity in our team
members.Mission of the CFOThe CFO's mission is to ensure that
IZEA's operating activities are efficiently funded, and effectively
measured, to generate the highest possible return given the
parameters defined by the Board and CEO. The Chief Financial
Officer is a senior executive of the company and, as such, will
share overall responsibility for establishing the vision and
managing the performance of the company. The CFO will have input
into investments, purchasing, financing and other strategic
decisions.IZEA is headquartered in Orlando, Florida though the
company is currently 100% remote due to COVID-19. Ideal candidates

return to a traditional office structure with team members sitting
at desks in an office every day of the work week. However, we would
prefer the ability for executives to meet in person as needed in
the future. Candidates must be very comfortable with a remote
workforce, as all accounting personnel are currently 100% remote
and living in different cities.Due to this being a work-from-home

currently only one opening.CFO ResponsibilitiesPublic Company
