Job description

Company:

Rowdy is building the next generation of salty snacks. Our mission is simple: deliver all the bold flavor and craveability consumers expect from their favorite snacks, with significantly fewer calories and without compromising on taste.

Our belief is simple: fewer calories shouldn't mean less flavor, less fun, or a product that feels like a compromise. Rowdy is rethinking the salty snack category by creating products that deliver on everything consumers love, with dramatically better nutritional profiles.

Rowdy is part of Medici Brands, the consumer food platform behind David, HallPass, Epogee, and other emerging brands. Led by CEO Peter Rahal, Co-founder and Former CEO of RXBAR, Medici recently raised a $250 million Series B at a $2.25 billion valuation.

This is a rare opportunity to help build a new consumer brand from the ground up, shaping its products, identity, and growth as Rowdy sets out to redefine one of the largest categories in snacking.

Role and Responsibilities:

As a Finance Manager, you will focus on forecasting, go-to-market strategy, budgeting, and pricing - developing demand models, shaping key financial assumptions, and determining optimal price and product architecture. You’ll also translate POS and shopper insights into recommendations that guide trade spend, retail strategy, and resource allocation to prioritize high-ROI opportunities and maintain strong unit economics across channels.

• Build and maintain retailer-level and product-level demand models, collaborating with Retail and Marketing to determine appropriate assumptions for a consolidated forecast
• Support the P&L budgeting and forecasting process by translating the demand forecast into detailed profitability analysis by retailer, product, and SKU
• Determine optimal pricing across channels, retailers, products and pack sizes by analyzing competitive context, retailer expectations, consumer value and margin implications
• Evaluate trade spend architecture and promotional performance across channels, assessing efficiency, lift, and incrementally vs. cannibalization to guide high-return retail and marketing investments
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to analyze data and surface business opportunities across Supply Chain, Retail, and Marketing

• 5+ years in operational finance, FP&A, strategic finance, or investment banking

• CPG and / or inventory-based business experience a plus
• Expert Excel and financial modeling skills
• Ability to translate complex datasets into actionable insights and communicate them clearly
• Strong business judgement and the ability to partner effectively across several teams
• Strong sense of ownership and attention to detail
• High intellectual curiosity with excellent analytical thinking and problem-solving ability
• A collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for influencing business decisions with data
• Humble, self-aware, and curious
• A desire to help build an early-stage CPG company with a mission to create tools to increase muscle and decrease fat

• This is a full-time, in-office role based in New York City. We work onsite five days a week- when the culture fits, it is fun to be in the office together.

• Salary: $190,00-210,000 per year, inclusive of bonus.

• 401(k) with 4% match.
