JOB SUMMARY

At Weissman, we're building the future of our Finance organization and we're looking for a leader who wants to build it with us.

As the Director of Finance, you'll have the opportunity to shape how financial planning, forecasting, reporting, and business decision-making are executed across the company. This is not a role focused on maintaining the status quo. We're looking for a strategic finance leader who thrives in environments where systems, processes, and reporting structures are still evolving and where meaningful impact can be made quickly.

You'll partner closely with executive leadership to create the financial frameworks, operational insights, and performance metrics that guide business decisions across multiple brands and business functions. You'll lead the modernization of reporting through business intelligence, automation, and AI-driven solutions while creating a single source of truth for financial and operational performance. If you're energized by solving complex problems, building scalable systems, developing teams, and helping a growing organization navigate its next chapter, we'd love to meet you.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead the organization's annual planning, long-range planning, forecasting, and performance management processes.
• Partner with executive leadership to provide financial insights that support strategic business decisions.
• Develop and maintain a company-wide "single version of truth" for financial and operational reporting.
• Own the Monthly Performance Review (MPR) process and drive accountability through KPI reporting and analysis.
• Lead the modernization of financial reporting through business intelligence, automation, and AI-enabled solutions.
• Design scalable financial frameworks for revenue planning, expense management, project tracking, and organizational growth.
• Evaluate investments, initiatives, and strategic projects through financial modeling and ROI analysis.
• Build multi-year financial scenarios and forecasting models that support long-term business objectives.
• Recruit, develop, and lead a high-performing finance team while creating career growth opportunities for team members.
• Drive continuous improvement across financial processes, systems, reporting, and decision-support capabilities.

QUALIFICATIONS

Education

Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related quantitative field required.

Master's degree in Business Administration or a related financial discipline preferred.

Experience

• 10+ years of progressive experience in finance and accounting.
• 10+ years of experience developing budgets, forecasts, and financial models.
• 4 to 6 years of experience leading strategic planning and execution initiatives.
• 4 to 6 years of experience managing staff and building or scaling teams.
• Experience in manufacturing, retail, or direct-to-consumer business environments preferred.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Demonstrated ability to migrate financial reporting from spreadsheet-driven processes to BI tools (such as Tableau) or AI-enabled analytics platforms.
• Strong financial modeling capabilities, including multi-year and multi-business scenario planning.
• Ability to design financial frameworks and processes from the ground up in evolving business environments.
• Expertise in evaluating investment opportunities and defining capital allocation strategies.
• Strong change management skills to guide teams through the adoption of new financial technologies and processes.
• Advanced analytical capabilities with the ability to translate complex financial data into clear insights.
• Proven ability to communicate financial results and recommendations to executive leadership and cross-functional teams.
• Deep understanding of budgeting, forecasting, and cost control principles.
• Strong business acumen and familiarity with financial accounting in complex or multinational organizations.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and Google Workspace.
• Certified Management Accountant (CMA) certification preferred.
