About The Position

Insomnia Cookies is seeking a hands-on treasury and tax leader to own liquidity forecasting, banking infrastructure, lender relationships, and tax compliance as the company grows its bakery footprint. Treasury is the day-one priority, including building and maintaining a driver-based 13-week cash-flow forecast, managing cash and receipts across more than 350 bakeries, supporting debt and capital-structure activities, and improving banking operations and controls. The role will also build and lead a scalable tax function covering partnership, income, sales and use, personal property, and other business taxes across the company’s U.S., Canadian, and UK operations. The Director partners daily with the CFO, Controller, FP&A, Operations, Growth, and external advisors. This is a visible, player-coach leadership position that combines designing processes with executing them, and requires communicating financial insights to executives, a board, and lenders. The position is onsite, with work-from-home Fridays.
