Director of Financial Planning and Analysis

State

Carlsbad, CA

Specialism

Startup Company

Director of FP&A | Carlsbad, CA (Hybrid) | $175K+ Bonus

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Own the Finance Function – Step in as the FP&A leader across multiple business units
  • Build from the Ground Up – Create structure, process, and a best-in-class FP&A function
  • Executive Visibility – Direct exposure to CFO, CEO, and investors
  • True Impact Role – Be the forward-looking voice driving strategy and decision-making

The Company

A PE-backed, high-growth platform, combining:

  • Vertically integrated manufacturing (in-house production + supply chain)
  • A rapidly scaling consumer brand (DTC + retail presence)
  • Strong positioning in the functional ingredients / health & wellness category
  • The business is a category leader with deep roots in the market and is now entering a major growth + capital raise phase.

What You’ll Own

  • Lead and mentor FP&A team (2 direct reports)
  • Own consolidated financials across entities
  • Drive budgeting, forecasting, and monthly reporting
  • Build and own 3-statement models + cash flow forecasting
  • Lead scenario analysis & strategic planning for growth + capital raise
  • Partner cross-functionally with operations, sales, and leadership
  • Deliver insights directly to executives and PE sponsors

What They Need

  • 10+ years in finance, with strong FP&A leadership experience
  • Elite modeling skills (3-statement, cash flow, scenario)
  • Background in CPG, manufacturing, or F&B preferred
  • Ability to own, build, and lead in a fast-moving environment
  • Strong presence — comfortable in front of C-suite and investors

The Ideal Profile

A hands-on finance leader who thrives in growth environments, loves building from scratch, and wants a seat at the table during a major scale-up phase.
