A growth-stage consumer brand backed by institutional capital is quietly searching for a finance leader to support the next phase of scale. The company has a strong foothold in the U.S. market, a multi-channel strategy across retail and DTC, and a clear path to profitability.

• Oversee financial reporting cadence and partner with accounting for monthly close
• Build internal finance infrastructure including models, dashboards, processes, and tools
• Evaluate business cases for new launches, channel expansion, and international scale

Ideal Background

• 10+ years in finance, ideally a blend of FP&A and operational finance
• Prior experience in CPG, with fluency in inventory, gross margin, and working capital
• Comfortable in lean environments where finance is hands-on and business-facing
• Strategic thinker with strong modeling skills and attention to operational detail
• Experience in PE-backed, founder-led, or VC-backed companies preferred
• CPA and/or MBA helpful but not required

Details

• Based in Brentwood, hybrid 2 days onsite
