About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Be a real partner to our CEO. A thought partner. Tell him the truth before it’s comfortable, and help him decide where to bet and where to stop.
Own the equity story and re-rate the company. Run earnings calls, investor relations, guidance, and the capital structure, and make sophisticated people see the upside we see.
Find the money. Free up every dollar that isn’t earning its place, and point it at what matters.
Get the flywheel. Live and breathe DTC economics, customer cohorts, paybacks, contribution margin, and retention, and help us pour fuel on what’s working.
Steward the balance sheet. Keep us liquid, keep our lenders close, and keep us strong enough to play offense.
Build AI-first. We don’t want a bigger finance team. We want a sharper, faster, more automated one.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You’ve been a public-company CFO, or the deputy who already does the job without the title.
Small-cap, microcap, or turnaround scars are a plus here, not a red flag.
You’ve stood in front of investors, analysts, and lenders and held the room, especially when the news was hard.
You’ve negotiated with capital providers when money was tight and walked away with both a deal and a relationship.
You’ve run the processes that change a company’s trajectory, including M&A and strategic alternatives.
You think in cohorts, payback, and contribution margin.
DTC and subscription economics are your native language, not a briefing you had to study.
You’ve taken cost out without gutting the future, and you treat the company’s cash like it’s your own.
You’ve made a small finance team punch above its weight, and you’d reach for an AI agent before a new headcount.
You want to win for shareholders and do real good in the world, and you’re tired of being told you have to pick one.
