Director of Finance

Director of Finance | High-Growth Beauty Brand (Confidential Search) Genesis Partners is leading a retained search for a Director of Finance at a rapidly scaling beauty brand. Reporting into senior finance leadership and working closely with the CFO, this person will run FP&A across the company: the forecasting engine, the reporting cadence, and the analytical infrastructure that keeps a fast-moving consumer business disciplined as it grows. It's a build-and-own seat, best suited to someone who wants a direct line to executive decision-making rather than a layer between themselves and the outcomes. What You'll Do Run the annual budget, rolling forecast, and long-range plan, and make sure the numbers stay connected to what the board and leadership team actually care about. Build the materials that drive decisions upstairs: board presentations, investor reporting, and executive-level analysis that turns raw financials into a clear story. Develop and maintain the company's core models, from multi-year growth scenarios to margin bridges and sensitivity cases, so leadership can pressure-test big bets before committing. Dig into performance at the P&L, channel, and SKU level; catch problems while they're still small and push the fixes through with the teams that own them. Serve as the go-to finance counterpart for Sales, Marketing, Ops, and E-Commerce, putting ROI discipline behind major spend and growth initiatives. Modernize how the finance function operates: tighten data integrity, automate planning and reporting workflows, and put the ERP and AI tooling to real use. Evaluate capital projects, product launches, and strategic investments, then close the loop with post-launch reviews of what actually happened versus plan. Spot financial and operational risk early and bring mitigation options to leadership before issues become urgent. Who You Are 8+ years in FP&A or corporate finance with steadily increasing scope; background in consumer products, beauty, retail, or e-commerce is a strong plus. Degree in Finance, Accounting, or similar; MBA, CPA, CFA, or CMA a plus. You've sat across from executives, made a case with numbers, and changed the decision. Deep modeling chops: 3-statement builds, 13-week cash flow, management reporting, all second nature. You communicate like an operator, not an analyst; complex financials come out of your mouth as plain, actionable takeaways. Excel power user, and genuinely curious about what AI tooling can take off your plate. You'd rather build the process than inherit it, and you move fast without getting sloppy. $160,000 to $170,000 base, 20% target bonus, full benefits. Real runway: the finance org is growing, and this seat grows with it.
