Chief Financial Officer

We are looking for an exceptional Chief Financial Officer to join our executive team and drive the financial strategy of our rapidly scaling business. We are at an inflection point in our growth, and his role will be instrumental in supporting our growth across retail, DTC, and manufacturing channels while maintaining operational excellence and financial discipline. You are a strategic business partner who can navigate the complexities of owned manufacturing operations and help tell our compelling growth story to investors and stakeholders. You’ve helped build brands and know what it means to lead through step-level change moments. Financial Strategy That Drives Growth: Work hand-in-hand with our CEO and cross-functional teams to build financial plans that fuel our growth ambitions. Maintain healthy, fully-loaded contribution margins as the business scales across retail, DTC, and manufacturing channels. Deliver financial reporting and forecasting that gives everyone the insights they need to make smart decisions. Build budgets that balance big growth bets (new manufacturing capacity, clinical trials, channel expansion) with the discipline to optimize costs. Manage our cash flow so we always have the runway to fund our next chapter. Capital Strategy & Allocation: Lead capital raising initiatives through debt, equity, or other instruments to fund expansion, acquisitions, and new product development. Analyze different financing options and determine the optimal capital structure to support growth objectives. Evaluate and execute strategic acquisitions that align with the company's growth strategy. Develop and maintain relationships with investors, lenders, and financial partners. Act as the executive lead on financial transactions and capital events, including investor storytelling, board updates, and partnership with investment bankers. Financial Planning That Powers Decisions: Create and manage sophisticated financial models for short and long-term business planning, including forecasting sales, expenses, and cash flow. Conduct financial modeling, forecasting, and scenario planning to stress-test growth assumptions and identify risks and opportunities. Provide robust data-driven insights to inform strategic decisions around growth initiatives. Establish KPIs and metrics that drive accountability across the organization. Executive Partnership & Strategic Leadership: Be a trusted strategic partner to our CEO, executive team, and Board. Communicate the company's growth story effectively to investors, analysts, and the market. Collaborate closely with cross-functional leaders to align financial strategy with overall business objectives. Participate in strategic planning and business development initiatives. Lead beyond the Finance function, flexing into operational and organization areas as needed to help the business scale smartly. Bring strong change management leadership, with experience navigating rapid scale or business transformation. Build a World-Class Finance Team: Build and lead a finance team that's as passionate about our mission as they are about the numbers. Create a culture where people own their work, keep learning, and innovate on how we do finance. Put in place the systems, processes, and controls that let us scale without breaking. Manufacturing & Supply Chain Finance: Understand and optimize the financial dynamics of owned manufacturing, including COGS, overhead allocation, and cost-saving opportunities. Manage inventory, working capital, and operational efficiency within manufacturing operations. Establish comprehensive risk management strategies to identify, monitor, and mitigate financial, operational, and compliance risks. Drive cost optimization initiatives across the supply chain.
