• End-to-end order flow from marketing ? e-commerce storefront ? fulfillment ? revenue recognition
• Inventory management across multiple warehouses, including margin impact from shipping, returns, and promotions

Key Responsibilities:

• Act as a transitional CFO , providing strategic finance leadership in a non-executive capacity
• Support M&A and post-merger integration efforts , including add-on acquisitions
• Partner with leadership to improve visibility into margins, performance, and operational KPIs
• Advise on financial implications of marketing spend, customer acquisition, and pricing strategies
• Support and guide a lean finance/accounting team
• Drive integration initiatives across systems, processes, and reporting

Required Experience:

• Prior CFO experience, ideally within DTC / e-commerce environments
• Strong background in M&A and post-merger integrations
• Experience in private equity-backed companies
• Deep understanding of consumer marketing, inventory management, S&OP, OTB planning, and merchandising
• Experience supporting multiple distribution centers and fulfillment operations
• Ability to operate in a lean, fast-paced environment and quickly add value

Ideal Profile:

• Strategic, hands-on leader with a transformational mindset
• Proven ability to step into complex environments and drive clarity and structure
• Experience in high-growth or evolving organizations

This is a high-impact opportunity for a seasoned CFO who has already navigated the complexities of DTC businesses and can bring immediate value during a critical integration phase.
