Role Description

The Director of FP&A will help build the financial foundation to support the company's next phase of growth. This role will own all financial forecasting, bringing structure to how growth is modeled in a business that spans hardware design, manufacturing, logistics, data and delivery services, and ultimately helping to make prudent, capital-efficient business decisions.

The right candidate thrives in ambiguity and loves creating order from chaos. They move fluidly between high-level strategy and detailed modeling. They are as comfortable in Excel as they are in a strategic conversation about pricing, tariffs, logistics network, multi-year capex deployment, headcount and manufacturing strategy.

This role leads an external accounting team, reports into the COO, and is remote with quarterly travel to Brooklyn.

Responsibilities

  • Financial Strategy & Planning: Drive company-wide budgeting and forecasting for disciplined but aggressive scaling over 1, 3 even 5 years.
  • Accounting & Controls: Oversee the monthly close and ensure scalable control processes.
  • Cash Management: Manage capital allocation and cash flow forecasting.
  • Demand & Inventory Planning: Build demand forecasting and inventory planning models.
  • FIFO Inventory Accounting & Cost Visibility: Maintain FIFO inventory accounting practices.
  • Tools & Systems Evaluation: Evaluate and implement tools, including ERP, forecasting, inventory systems.
  • Board & Investor Reporting: Lead financial reporting for investors and executive stakeholders.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree and 7+ years of experience in finance roles supporting a hardware or physical goods business. Experience in high-growth startup environments is required.
  • Deep understanding of capital-intensive businesses, with strong ability to guide decision making around CapEx, debt, balance sheet and cashflow health.
  • Highly skilled in financial modeling; comfortable building sophisticated and dynamic models for various strategic scenarios from scratch.
  • Deep understanding of GAAP and financial accounting principles; experience with FIFO accounting and COGS reconciliation.
  • Strategic mindset with operational execution rigor; you can jump-in day 1 and operate autonomously.
  • An excellent communicator who can turn complex financial data into clear business insights.
  • Pragmatic, scrappy, and curious — you care about details when they matter most, but you don’t get stuck in them.
  • Excited by the challenge of helping a fast-growing, profitable hardware startup scale with discipline.

Requirements

  • The annual base salary for this role is $160,000 - 200,000, variable depending on experience and location.
  • The company also offers stock options and a comprehensive benefits package, including health benefits, unlimited time off, and of course, your own fully stocked fridge with your favorite go-to beverages.
