About RH7 Sports

RH7 Sports is a purpose-driven sports and culture agency redefining how women athletes are positioned, protected, and propelled. We sit at the intersection of brand building, partnerships, storytelling, and impact — championing women in sport while building long-term enterprise value around talent, IP, and community.

We are not simply managing athletes.

As we enter our next stage of growth, RH7 Sports is seeking a visionary Chief Financial Officer to help build the financial infrastructure of a company positioned to shape the future of women’s sports and creative partnerships.

The Opportunity

This is a foundational executive leadership role for a builder — someone who understands that true enterprise value is created at the early stages through discipline, structure, and strategic foresight.

The CFO will join as a key architect of RH7’s financial strategy, helping transform vision into scalable, investable systems. This role is designed for a leader who believes in ownership, long-term value creation, and building something meaningful from the ground up.

This is not a traditional corporate CFO seat.

This is a leadership position within a movement.

• Build financial discipline across brand partnerships, talent deals, and new ventures

What Makes This Role Unique

• You are not stepping into a mature corporate structure — you are helping design it.

• You will have meaningful ownership alignment tied to long-term enterprise growth.

• You will shape the financial architecture of a company positioned within one of the fastest-growing sectors in global sports: women’s sports.

• You will build alongside a leadership team that is culturally driven, creatively ambitious, and equity-minded.

This role is ideal for a CFO who:

• Wants ownership, not just a paycheck

• Believes in the economic future of women’s sports

• Is energized by building rather than inheriting systems

• Sees value in early-stage equity growth potential
