Job description

This is not a back-office COO/CFO role. This is a command center where you’ll own the intersection of finance, operations, supply chain, and execution inside a growing, founder-led organization.

You won’t just report the numbers or measure the business…you’ll help build the engine that drives it.

If you’re wired to think in terms of flow, efficiency, scale, and execution and you like getting your hands dirty while still operating at a strategic level - this is your lane. From inventory flow to forecasting precision, from vendor negotiations to warehouse throughput - this role sits at the heartbeat of the business, translating strategy into real-world operational/financial performance.

This role will require you to work onsite in the Norcross/Peachtree Corners area 5 days per week. Our client offers an exceptional work/life balance, ample flexibility, in a fun, low stress environment.

What You’ll Own – Operational/Financial Leadership:

Architect and lead the end-to-end operating model across supply chain, procurement, fulfillment, and logistics

Drive alignment between sales forecasts, inventory strategy, and purchasing decisions

Own vendor relationships, global sourcing strategy, and cost optimization across the supply chain

Build and track best-in-class KPIs: inventory turns, fill rates, OTIF, lead times, and cost-per-order

Ensure operational readiness for seasonal spikes, product launches, and high-volume events

Lead a fully integrated forecasting engine across sales, operations, and finance

Translate demand signals into precise purchasing and inventory strategies

Optimize SKU mix, manage inventory aging, and improve working capital efficiency

Connect forecasting tools with ERP systems to create real-time, actionable purchasing insights

Elevate fulfillment performance across eCommerce, retail, and distribution channels

Improve warehouse efficiency, throughput, and accuracy

Optimize 3PL relationships, freight strategy, and shipping economics

Identify and eliminate friction across systems, workflows, and cross-functional processes

Own the financial strategy, planning process, and long-term roadmap

Lead budgeting, forecasting, and performance analysis tied directly to operational drivers

Build scalable reporting frameworks for leadership, board stakeholders, and external partners

Translate operational activity into clear financial narratives and decision-making insight

Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing finance and accounting function

Implement compensation structures and performance-based incentive frameworks

Help transition the organization from founder-driven to process-driven and scalable

What You Bring:

Proven experience operating across finance & operations - not just reporting, but running the business

Deep exposure to inventory-driven environments (consumer goods, retail, or similar)

Strong command of supply chain finance, demand planning, and working capital optimization

Experience scaling systems, integrating tools, and building processes from the ground up

Ability to move seamlessly between boardroom strategy and on-the-ground execution

Experience in founder-led or transitioning organizations is highly valued

12+ years of progressive finance/operational leadership experience

Prior experience in a senior leadership role – a combination of financial and operational leadership

Track record of building teams, systems, and reporting infrastructure—not inheriting them

Strong ERP and planning system experience (NetSuite or similar)
