Job Title: Director of Finance (Fully Remote) Company: Confidential - High-Growth, VC-Backed Consumer Brand Location: Fully Remote (U.S.) - LA-based is a plus, but absolutely not required

About the Opportunity: We are partnering with a rapidly scaling, highly successful consumer brand backed by top-tier venture capital. After experiencing explosive growth and reaching the 9-figure revenue mark in just a few short years, the company is entering a new phase of disciplined, data-driven expansion.

We are conducting an exclusive search for a highly strategic Director of Finance to report directly to the CFO. This is a rare opportunity to join an incredible leadership team, sit in the room with the C-suite (CEO, CFO, CMO), and directly influence capital allocation and strategic decision-making for a major player in the consumer/e-commerce space.

While this role will start as a high-impact Individual Contributor, the immediate roadmap includes building out a team underneath this position.

What You Will Do: You will own full-cycle, strategic FP&A for a complex, inventory-driven business. Key responsibilities include:

  • True 3-Statement Modeling: Full ownership of P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow modeling.

  • Cash Flow & Treasury: Rigorous cash flow forecasting and management (this is critical to the role).

  • Demand & Marketing Integration: Building rolling forecasts deeply tied to marketing spend and demand planning.

  • Inventory Modeling: Managing the financial complexities of an inventory-centric supply chain.

  • Executive Storytelling: Translating complex data into executive-level financial narratives that drive strategic action.

The Ideal Profile: We are looking for a true "modeling athlete"—someone who deeply understands balance sheet and cash flow mechanics. (Note: Modeling depth will be directly evaluated during the interview process).

  • Experience: 6–15 years of strategic finance experience.

  • Industry Background: Experience in retail, apparel, consumer goods, or e-commerce is strongly preferred. A background in an inventory-based business carries significant weight.

  • I-Banking, Management Consulting or similar strategic background (Big Plus): Candidates who began their careers in Investment Banking or top-tier Management Consulting before transitioning into high-growth startup/in-house FP&A roles will be highly competitive.

  • Technical Chops: Elite Excel/modeling skills. If you do not have a deep, fundamental understanding of balance sheet and cash flow mechanics, this role will not be the right fit.

  • Attributes: Strategic, moldable, highly analytical, and ready to roll up your sleeves in a fast-paced environment.

Why This Role? This isn't just a reporting role; it is a highly strategic seat at the table of a company on a massive upward trajectory. You will have the autonomy to build, the visibility to influence the C-suite, and the financial upside of a structured equity package.
