Descrizione del lavoro

BrüMate is seeking a highly analytical and commercially minded Director of FP&A to join our finance team and report directly to the Chief Financial Officer. This role will be a key member of the finance organization and will own the company’s financial planning, forecasting, analysis, treasury relationships, and internal and external financial reporting.

The Director of FP&A will partner closely with the CFO and executive leadership team to translate business performance into actionable financial insights and help drive decision-making across the organization. The role will have significant exposure to senior leadership, the Board of Directors, lenders, banking partners, and other external stakeholders.

The Director of FP&A will manage and develop a Financial Analyst who reports directly to this position. The Director will be responsible for hiring the Financial Analyst, establishing priorities and objectives, managing performance, and developing the analyst’s capabilities as the finance organization grows.

In addition to traditional FP&A responsibilities, this role will work closely with the inventory and demand planning functions, helping connect commercial forecasts, inventory requirements, working capital, cash flow, and financial performance.

The ideal candidate is a hands‑on finance leader who can operate at both the strategic and detailed levels, has strong financial modeling and communication skills, and is comfortable working in a fast‑paced, high‑growth consumer products environment.

Responsibilities:

Leadership & Team Management

• Hire, manage, and develop the Financial Analyst, including establishing performance expectations, setting priorities, providing regular feedback, and supporting professional development.
• Delegate analytical and reporting responsibilities appropriately while maintaining accountability for the quality and timeliness of deliverables.
• Build scalable FP&A processes and capabilities as the company and finance organization grow.
• Foster a high‑performing, collaborative, and analytical finance culture.
• Own the company’s annual budgeting, long‑range planning, and monthly forecasting processes.
• Maintain and enhance the company’s financial models, including revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, EBITDA, cash flow, and working capital.
• Develop monthly and quarterly financial forecasts and provide variance analysis against budget, forecast, and prior‑year performance.
• Partner with department leaders to understand key business drivers, identify risks and opportunities, and develop action plans.
• Provide financial analysis and decision support for strategic initiatives, including new products, retail expansion, pricing, promotions, marketing investments, and operational initiatives.
• Develop scenario analyses and sensitivity models to support management decision‑making.
• Establish and monitor key financial and operating KPIs across the business.
• Own the monthly financial reporting process and management reporting package.
• Prepare and maintain executive‑level reporting for the CFO and leadership team.
• Lead the preparation of quarterly Board of Directors materials, including financial results, forecasts, KPIs, and key business drivers.
• Develop clear and actionable reporting that translates financial results into business insights.
• Support preparation of lender, sponsor, and other external financial reporting.
• Ensure consistency and integrity of financial information across management, Board, lender, and other stakeholder reporting.

Treasury & Capital Management

• Manage day‑to‑day relationships with the company’s banking and treasury partners.
• Oversee cash forecasting, liquidity planning, borrowing base reporting, and related lender requirements.
• Monitor cash balances, debt activity, working capital, and liquidity against forecast.
• Support the CFO in managing the company’s debt facilities, lender relationships, and broader capital structure.
• Coordinate with accounting and operations to ensure accurate and timely cash flow reporting.
• Assist with financing, refinancing, capital raising, and other strategic capital markets initiatives as needed.

Inventory & Demand Planning

• Partner closely with the inventory and demand planning teams to connect demand forecasts with financial plans.
• Incorporate inventory requirements, purchase commitments, lead times, and working capital assumptions into financial forecasts.
• Analyze inventory levels, turns, aged inventory, purchase orders, and working capital requirements.
• Help develop financially informed inventory and purchasing strategies.
• Identify opportunities to improve forecast accuracy, inventory productivity, and cash conversion.
• Collaborate with supply chain, merchandising, sales, and operations to understand the financial implications of demand and inventory decisions.

Business Partnership & Strategic Analysis

• Serve as a trusted financial partner to executive and functional leaders across the organization.
• Evaluate the financial impact of major business decisions and initiatives.
• Develop ad hoc analyses and models to support strategic decisions.
• Identify trends, risks, and opportunities and communicate them clearly to senior leadership.
• Help establish a culture of data‑driven decision‑making across the company.
• Continuously improve FP&A processes, reporting, systems, and analytical capabilities.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
• 7+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking, transaction advisory, or a related discipline.
• Experience leading budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, and management reporting.
• Strong understanding of three‑statement financial modeling, cash flow, working capital, and corporate finance.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• Advanced Excel / financial modeling skills; experience with ERP and financial planning systems preferred.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present complex financial information clearly.
• Demonstrated ability to manage, mentor, and develop junior finance talent.
• Ability to operate independently, prioritize competing demands, and work effectively in a fast‑paced environment.
• Experience with consumer products, retail, e‑commerce, wholesale, or other omnichannel businesses strongly preferred.
• Experience with treasury, banking relationships, debt facilities, or lender reporting preferred.

What We’re Looking For

• Strategic thinker: Able to see beyond the numbers and understand the business drivers behind them.

• Detail‑oriented: Maintains a high standard of accuracy while still keeping sight of the bigger picture.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage
• Employee discounts and perks
• Hybrid office‑home schedule (three in‑office days per week)
• Flexible paid time off
• Paid maternity/ paternity leave
• 401K, 50% company match up to 7% of salary
• Opportunities for career growth within a rapidly expanding, innovative company
