About the role

We're hiring a Finance & Operations Associate to work at the intersection of finance, operations, and logistics: building the model behind a real spending decision one day, chasing partners on a delivery timeline the next, and reconciling month-end closing numbers by the end of the week.

It's a broad, hands-on role on a lean team, which means your work shows up directly in how well the company runs - and there's room to grow into more ownership as you prove yourself. Financial acumen is non-negotiable: a big part of this job is finance, and you need to be genuinely comfortable with numbers.

What you’ll do

• Build financial models and run analyses to support key decisions - pricing, unit economics, margin, and cash
• Own a big part of the monthly close - reconciliations, journal entries, and getting the books closed accurately and on time with our accountants
• Keep reporting and dashboards on the metrics that matter clean and up to date
• Manage vendor and manufacturer relationships day to day - be a point of contact for suppliers and our manufacturing partners, tracking orders, timelines, terms, and follow-ups
• Flag bottlenecks across finance and operations, and help fix them
• Help build process where there is none, and keep it running

What we’re looking for

Must-haves

• Strong financial acumen - you can build a model, read a P&L, and reason about unit economics, margin, and cash
