Job description

Confido is the AI infrastructure powering modern CPG — the platform that 200+ brands like OLIPOP, Simple Mills, Dr. Squatch, and Tropicana use to run everything from deductions to production planning. Finance, accounting, sales, and operations, unified in one system for the first time.

We’re growing 5x year over year and recently raised a $15M Series A led by Footwork and Y Combinator. We're a small, in-person team in New York City, which means the people who join now shape the product, the culture, and the company itself.

If you want your work on shelves everywhere — and outsized ownership while you build — we'd love to meet you.

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Finance & Strategy Associate to lead various strategic finance, FP&A, reporting, and cross-functional operational initiatives that will have a direct impact on our strategic business decisions. This is a rare opportunity to make a direct impact on business strategy and growth, working directly with Confido’s entire executive team.

What You Will Own

• Partner directly with founders and the executive team on strategic finance priorities: fundraising materials, board reporting, and investor communications
• Build and own financial models that inform major business decisions, including pricing strategy, market sizing, and unit economics
• Lead ad hoc strategic analysis on competitive positioning, new market opportunities, and growth initiatives
• Partner with the Revenue team on pipeline and revenue forecasting, and drive unit economics and market ROI analysis to shape go-to-market strategy
• Own the development of external-facing materials for investors, board members, and strategic partners
• Collaborate with data and engineering to build the infrastructure behind Confido's financial and business insights

What You’ll Need

• Experience in investment banking, consulting, and/or strategic finance / experience at a relevant high‑growth or venture‑backed startup.
• Ability to “wear multiple hats” as a team player in order to prioritize the dynamic business needs of a high‑growth organization.
• Exceptional excel/financial modeling skills, with an ability to work quickly with little oversight.
• Analytical aptitude with keen attention to detail and insatiable curiosity to learn.
• Strong self‑management, drive and organizational skills with ownership and pride in your work and ability to juggle multiple projects.
• Ability to multi‑task in a fast‑paced, ambiguous environment is essential.
• Ownership mentality, bias for action, highly motivated, strong work ethic.

Who You Are

• You thrive in fast‑paced environments and care deeply about the quality of your work.
• You’re an owner - autonomous, self‑directed, and comfortable navigating ambiguity.
• You’re collaborative, organized, and kind—you make the people around you better.

Perks + Benefits

• Equity — own a piece of what you're building
• Fully paid health coverage with Aetna (we cover 100% of premiums)
• Top‑tier dental and vision through Guardian
• 12 weeks paid parental leave
• Unlimited PTO, plus regular 4‑day holiday weekends we actually take
• 401(k) through Vestwell
• Paid relocation — we'll get you here
• Full desk setup on day one (laptop, monitor, keyboard) + a $200 stipend to make it yours
• Catered Friday lunches, team dinners on us, and unlimited coffee + snacks featuring our own brands
