Cash Management & Business Health

  • Drive strategic cash management and working capital optimization to strengthen operational resilience
  • Identify opportunities to unlock cash and increase efficiency through improved planning, vendor terms, inventory strategies, and cost controls
  • Ensure smart, disciplined capital allocation in a resource-constrained, growth-focused environment

    • Dashboards, Reporting & Insights

  • Overhaul and expand dashboards, KPIs, and reporting systems to provide real-time financial and operational insights
  • Partner across departments to create visibility into performance, risks, and ROI across the business
  • Establish a data-driven culture that supports accountability, speed, and decision-making at all levels

    • Operational Finance & Controls

  • Lead budgeting, forecasting, and performance tracking across teams and business units
  • Collaborate with Sales, Marketing, Supply Chain, and Impact teams to align financial plans with execution
  • Work alongside the Controller to strengthen accounting systems, internal controls, and audit readiness

    • Team Leadership

  • Manage and grow a high-performing, lean Finance & Accounting team
  • Develop scalable systems, processes, and tools that enable growth and reduce friction
  • Foster strong cross-functional partnerships and a proactive, solutions-oriented finance culture

    • Experience & Qualifications

  • 12+ years of progressive finance experience with a blend of :
  • Investment banking or private equity FP&A background (highly analytical and investor-oriented mindset).
  • Big 4 accounting firm experience.
  • Minimum 3-5 years in hands-on financial leadership outside of Big 4, including oversight of stock options, 401(k), and accounting operations.
  • Prior CFO, VP of Finance, or senior finance leadership role in a high-growth, product-based or CPG company.
  • Proven experience managing financials for institutional fundraising, investor engagement, and M&A activity.
  • Strong knowledge of US GAAP, international financial structures, and global compliance.

    • Leadership & Cultural Fit

  • Strategic and analytical, with strong business judgment and commercial acumen.
  • Hands-on leader with roll-up-your-sleeves mentality—comfortable owning day-to-day operations in a lean, high-impact team.
  • Clear communicator, capable of translating financial complexity into actionable insights for executive peers.
  • Passion for mission-driven, socially conscious business models and global development.

    • Essential Physical Demands and Typical Working Conditions
