• Establish SOPs, KPIs, and operating cadence to support scale, accountability, and profitability
• Serve as primary financial partner to the private equity sponsor and board
• Lead audit readiness, internal controls, and financial reporting toward institutional scale and liquidity
• Partner cross-functionally with operations, supply chain, and marketing to align demand, margin, and profitability
• Own systems, data, and reporting infrastructure as the business scales
• CFO with operational leadership experience within omnichannel consumer brands
• Deep exposure to DTC plus retail and wholesale economics
• Strong preference for skincare, beauty, personal care, or premium CPG
• Experience operating in PE backed or sponsor owned environments
• Proven track record managing cash, inventory, and growth during scale
• Prior exposure to M&A, recapitalizations, or exit preparation is a plus
