Success in this role requires strong financial acumen, commercial thinking, analytical problem-solving, and the ability to influence stakeholders across multiple functions.

• Collaborate closely with Accounting, Accounts Payable, Tax, Legal, IT, and Internal Audit to ensure business decisions are accurately reflected and operational challenges are resolved efficiently.
• Build strong relationships across the organization to improve collaboration and execution.
  
  

Lead New Store Investment Decisions (CAPEX)

• Partner with Retail Leadership, Business Development, and Construction teams to evaluate new store investments.
• Develop store-level P&L models, CAPEX budgets, investment analyses, and executive approval packages.
• Support capital allocation decisions by evaluating financial returns, risks, and long-term business impact.
  
  

Strengthen Inventory, Cash & Operational Governance

• Improve visibility and governance across stores, warehouses, and logistics partners.
• Enhance cash controls, inventory movement tracking, reconciliation, return processes, and logistics exception management.
• Identify operational gaps and implement preventive controls that reduce risk before financial issues occur.
  
  

Drive Operational Excellence

• Design practical financial controls and governance processes that improve transparency without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Recommend process improvements that strengthen compliance, increase efficiency, and support scalable business growth.
• Champion a culture of continuous improvement across finance and operations.
  
  

Influence Through Data

• Leverage financial and operational data to uncover opportunities, answer critical business questions, and challenge conventional thinking.
• Connect financial performance with operational execution to influence leadership decisions.
• Drive meaningful business improvements through fact-based analysis and strategic recommendations.

• Advanced Excel skills and experience developing executive-level financial reporting and presentations.
• Knowledge of inventory management, retail KPIs, margin analysis, working capital, and cash flow management.
• Proven ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
• CPA, CMA, MBA, or equivalent professional certification is a plus.
• Passion for consumer brands, retail innovation, entertainment, pop culture, or collectible products.
  
  

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO, sick leave, and family leave.
• Leadership development, mentorship, and stretch opportunities.
• Career growth with one of the fastest-growing global entertainment and retail brands.
