Job description
Base pay range
$150,000.00/yr - $200,000.00/yr
Bodily is a venture‑backed women’s health company transforming underserved categories through product innovation and data‑driven growth strategy. We design research‑backed products for major life transitions—postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, pregnancy loss—addressing clinical needs with the rigor and sophistication typically reserved for consumer tech or luxury retail.
Our investors include Hearst Corporation, Morgan Stanley, and Global Founders Capital, alongside strategic backers Brooklyn Decker, Andy Roddick, and Katherine Schwarzenegger‑Pratt. We’ve built a scaled DTC business with expanding wholesale partnerships (including national distribution at Target) and are executing a growth roadmap across channels.
What makes Bodily unique as a career opportunity is the combination of early‑stage ownership with seasoned operational leadership . You’ll work directly with executives who have built and scaled category‑defining businesses:
CEO from Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking and Global Infrastructure Partners, plus operating roles as CFO of Daily Harvest and head of strategy & finance for Blue Apron and Ralph Lauren Ecommerce globally
COO with 25+ years leading supply chain and operations for Gap, Thinx, and other high‑growth brands
Head of Marketing who drove Gravity Blanket and HigherDose to breakout success
The Opportunity
We’re hiring a Head of Finance & Strategy to own the finance function and serve as a key strategic partner to the CEO and executive team. This is a hands‑on leadership role combining financial leadership, demand planning, and corporate strategy—with a path to CFO.
You'll lead finance and strategy , ranging from ownership of accounting operations (AP/AR and monthly close), to FP&A reporting, top‑down and SKU‑based demand forecasting, strategic planning, capital allocation, investor relations, and delivering the analytical rigor that drives company‑wide decision‑making.
This role requires someone who has made the transition from investing or banking onto the company‑side and can bring institutional‑quality analytical discipline to a growth‑stage environment. You'll apply the same modeling sophistication you developed in private equity or investment banking—LBO models, dynamic driver‑based operating models, sensitivity analyses—to decisions that directly impact growth, profitability, and strategic direction.
You’ll own outcomes, help build a function, and have a seat at the table on every major decision. For the right person, this is a direct path to CFO.
What You’ll Own
Finance Leadership
Lead the finance function with full ownership of the P&L. You will oversee accounting operations (managing AP/AR and the monthly close process) to ensure the foundation is set for sophisticated FP&A reporting
Oversee financial reporting, investor updates, and board materials
Manage tax coordination (sales tax, income tax, 1099s) with external advisors
Own capital reporting and cash management
Ensure clean books and financial controls as the company scales
Demand Planning & Inventory Strategy
Own the financial architecture of Demand Forecasting—building the bridge between SKU‑level sales data and our cash/working capital position
Partner with Supply Chain/COO on inventory planning, buy decisions, and production timing
Build the analytical infrastructure connecting sales forecasts to inventory and cash implications
This is a critical function for the business and a core responsibility of this role
Strategic Finance & Corporate Strategy
Build and maintain sophisticated operating models with dynamic drivers, scenario analysis, and sensitivity frameworks
Lead strategic analysis on channel expansion, product portfolio, marketing investment and operational efficiency
Prepare board materials, investor communications and executive presentations
Partner with the CEO on future capital raises (Equity/Debt) and prepare the business for potential exit scenarios
Executive Partnership
Serve as a thought partner to the CEO on financial and strategic decisions
Provide analytical rigor and quantitative frameworks to cross‑functional leadership
Drive data‑informed decision‑making across the organization
Requirements
WHO YOU ARE
REQUIRED: 8‑10 years of experience with a foundation in buyout to rigorous mid‑market private equity (PE is strongly preferred) or M&A investment banking at a bulge bracket or elite boutique
STRONGLY PREFERRED: Operating experience—you’ve made the transition from finance into a strategic or financial leadership role ideally at a growth‑stage company
Track record of building models that drive real business decisions
Experience managing or building a team is a plus
You are willing to trade short‑term cash comp for outsized equity upside and the chance to build a department from scratch
Skills
REQUIRED: Mastery of sophisticated financial modeling—LBO models, dynamic driver‑based operating models, integrated financial statements, scenario and sensitivity analysis
BIG PLUS: Demand planning or operational forecasting experience—you understand how to connect sales forecasts to inventory, production and cash
A MUST: Strategic thinker with operational pragmatism—comfortable translating strategy into detailed plans and financial implications
A MUST: Clear, compelling communicator—able to distill complexity into executive‑ready recommendations
A MUST: Builder mentality—excited to hire, develop and lead a team
BIG PLUS: Mission‑driven—passionate about improving women’s health
Benefits
Full benefits including medical, dental and vision. Office space in Hearst Tower in NYC with all the perks that come with it—available for anyone local who wants it, with full flexibility to work remotely. East Coast hours. This role is designed as a path to CFO. You’ll own the finance function, develop the strategic and operational breadth required to step into that seat, and get real mentorship from a CEO who’s walked the same path.
