Director of Finance

Commercial Strategy | Profitable Growth | Finance Transformation

The Opportunity

Help shape the business. Influence strategy. Build a stronger financial foundation for growth.

We are seeking a commercially minded, hands-on Director of Finance to play an influential role in the continued growth and evolution of a growing, entrepreneurial business.

This is an opportunity for a finance leader who enjoys being close to the business, working directly with executive leadership, and having a tangible impact on financial and commercial decisions. Unlike highly structured corporate finance environments, this role offers broad visibility, meaningful ownership, and the opportunity to influence multiple areas of the organization.

Working closely with executive leadership, Sales, and Product Development, you will help drive profitable growth by evaluating customer economics, pricing strategies, product profitability, trade spend, and margin performance.

You will bring the ability to look beyond the numbers, challenge conventional thinking, and translate financial insights into practical business strategies. Equally important, you will help elevate the finance function by strengthening processes, building analytical capabilities, and developing a team that serves as a true business partner to the organization.

For someone who thrives in a growing company where initiative, flexibility, and the ability to make things happen matter, this is an opportunity to have a meaningful seat at the table and leave a lasting impact.

What You'll Lead

Commercial Strategy & Profitability

• Partner directly with executive leadership and Sales to evaluate pricing, customer profitability, promotional strategies, and margin opportunities.
• Identify opportunities to improve profitability while supporting sustainable revenue growth.
• Translate financial analysis into actionable commercial recommendations.

Trade Spend & Retail Economics

• Improve visibility and accountability around trade spend, retailer deductions, dilution, chargebacks, and gross-to-net revenue.
• Identify root causes of margin erosion and develop strategies to improve commercial returns.
• Partner with Sales to better understand customer economics and optimize financial performance.

Product & Customer Performance

• Work cross-functionally with Sales and Product Development to evaluate product economics, new product investments, customer opportunities, and growth initiatives.
• Provide financial insight to support business decisions and resource allocation.

Financial Strategy & Performance

• Own budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, and performance analysis.
• Provide leadership with meaningful financial insights and recommendations.
• Develop reporting and analytical tools that improve visibility into business performance.

Finance Transformation & Operational Improvement

• Strengthen and modernize financial processes, reporting, analytics, and internal controls.
• Bring structure, discipline, and scalability to the finance function without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, accountability, and decision-making.

Team Leadership & Development

• Lead, mentor, and develop a capable finance team.
• Foster a culture of accountability, analytical thinking, and cross-functional partnership.
• Build a finance organization that is proactive, solutions-oriented, and closely connected to the business.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field; advanced degree preferred.
• 10+ years of progressive finance experience, ideally within a small to mid-sized, growing organization.
• Experience in CPG, consumer products, manufacturing, or businesses serving large retail or big-box customers.
• A background that combines financial planning and analysis, commercial finance, and operational business partnership.
• Strong understanding of trade spend, retailer deductions, dilution, chargebacks, promotional investments, and gross-to-net revenue.
• Demonstrated success improving profitability, strengthening margins, and influencing commercial decisions.
• Experience working directly with executive leadership, business owners, and cross-functional stakeholders.
• The ability to operate both strategically and tactically, balancing big-picture thinking with hands-on execution.
• Experience building, improving, or transforming finance processes and capabilities in a growing business.
• A practical, entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to navigate an environment where not everything is already built or fully established.

Who Will Thrive in This Role

You are likely someone who has grown alongside a business, taken on increasing responsibility, and enjoys having a broader impact than a traditional finance role might offer.

You are comfortable rolling up your sleeves, digging into the details, and stepping back to influence the bigger picture. You don't need a large corporate infrastructure or layers of support to get things done. Instead, you enjoy identifying what needs to improve, taking ownership, and building solutions.

You understand that finance is not simply about reporting what happened. It's about helping the business determine what should happen next.

You enjoy partnering with Sales, Product Development, and executive leadership, challenging assumptions, and bringing financial discipline to commercial decisions.

Most importantly, you're motivated by the opportunity to help build something—to strengthen a growing organization, develop a finance team, and directly influence the company's future.

If you're a finance leader looking for greater ownership, broader business exposure, and the opportunity to make a visible impact within a growing organization, this could be an exciting next step.
