Job Level
About the role
- Build and maintain complex financial models to support high-stakes decisions: scenario analyses, sensitivity tables, business case modeling, and ad hoc quantitative work
- Own board materials and investor-facing reporting — synthesizing financial performance, business highlights, and strategic narrative into clear, executive-ready communications
- Conduct deep-dive analyses on critical business questions — channel economics, pricing strategy, new product ROI, partnership and M&A evaluation
- Develop and maintain KPI dashboards and reporting infrastructure that give the CEO and executive team real-time visibility
- Serve as a thought partner and analytical resource to the CEO on the highest-priority strategic and operational questions
- Prepare the CEO for board meetings, investor conversations, and key internal reviews — including pre-reads, briefing materials, and talking points
- Act as a force multiplier for the executive team: identifying gaps, connecting workstreams, and ensuring follow-through on decisions and commitments
- Represent the CEO's perspective and priorities across the organization when appropriate
- Lead high-priority, high-consequence projects end-to-end — from problem structuring through recommendation and implementation
- Spearhead cross-functional planning where CEO-level coordination is required: annual planning, go-to-market launches, organizational changes
- Identify where critical work is falling through the cracks and drive it forward, regardless of function
- Manage 1–2 direct reports as the team scales
- Help build organizational infrastructure: frameworks, processes, and reporting rhythms that create leverage for the executive team
Requirements
- 5+ years of private equity at a recognized firm or top tier investment banking (M&A or coverage at a bulge bracket or elite boutique) — genuine deal experience, complex financial modeling, high-performance environment
- Big plus: 1–2 years of operating experience inside a company — Chief of Staff, strategy, FP&A, or general management — strongly preferred; candidates seeking their first operating role from a strong finance foundation will also be considered
- The ideal profile: a few years of IB or PE, followed by a meaningful operating stint, and now ready to go deep inside a growth-stage brand with real ownership
- Advanced financial modeling: you build multi-tab, driver-based models from scratch and use them to drive real decisions
- Board and investor communications: experience preparing materials for sophisticated financial stakeholders
- Structured problem solving: ambiguous high-stakes question → clear components → data-supported recommendation
- Executive presence: you hold your own with senior leaders, push back with data, and communicate clear points of view
- High autonomy and judgment: you figure out what needs to happen and make it happen
- Direct and candid: you say what you think, back it up with data, and engage constructively when challenged
- High confidence, open-minded, and truth-seeking: you care about getting to the right answer, not being right
- Nice to Have:* Consumer, DTC, e-commerce, or retail experience; prior management of junior team members; women's health or mission-driven brand background
