• Strong sense of ownership and meticulous attention to detail, especially when working with ambiguous or messy data
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate complex financial and analytical work clearly for non-finance stakeholders
• High intellectual horsepower, with a self-starting attitude and a love for executing on ideas and moving quickly
• Humility, curiosity, and a desire to build an early-stage CPG company with a mission to create tools to increase muscle and decrease fat

Responsibilities

• Forecast sales, orders, and unit volume by channel, product line, and SKU mix, including unlaunched products, accounting for seasonality, inventory, retail dynamics, and changes in performance
• Drive a recurring forecast alignment process across Growth, Finance, and Data, consolidating inputs into a single forecast, actualizing results, and maintaining clean assumptions and modeling
• Maintain and improve marketing investment and economics models, including CAC, LTV, MER/aMER, contribution margin, and payback
• Translate growth strategy and changes in marketing investment into expected revenue, margin, and financial impact
• Ensure marketing investment and pacing remain aligned with company growth targets, inventory constraints, and broader financial objectives
• Design and build scalable systems and processes that improve visibility into marketing performance, customer behavior, and the drivers of growth
• Develop repeatable frameworks for turning platform, ecommerce, retail, survey, and panel data into actionable insights
• Automate recurring reporting and analytical workflows to reduce manual work and free up the team for higher-value analysis
