Flashfood • Canada, KY

About The Position

Our company is on a mission to reduce food waste and make high-quality, affordable food accessible to everyone. Through our innovative app-based marketplace, we connect shoppers with discounted perishable items while helping retailers turn would-be waste into revenue and meaningful environmental impact. We’re growing quickly across North America and partnering with retailers of all sizes to expand our reach. If you’re passionate about creating real change for people and the planet, we’d love for you to join us. Your work here will directly contribute to a mission that helps families save money, reduces waste, and builds a more sustainable future.

We're looking for a Director, Strategic Finance who is strategic, hands-on, and an effective business partner across the company. This is the senior finance seat, reporting to the CFO. You'll own financial planning, drive capital markets activity, and function as a genuine business partner to functional leads — embedded in their operating rhythms, not just parachuting in at reporting time. You'll manage a data analyst and work closely with accounting/finops, BizOps, and the CEO.

This role is ideal for someone who:
Is as comfortable in a quarterly business review with the CRO as they are building a 3-statement forecast model
Thrives in an ambiguous, fast-moving, growth-stage environment
Takes ownership and drives outcomes, not just measurement
Collaborates effectively across teams — revenue, marketing, product, ops, accounting/finops, BizOps, and the CEO
Balances speed with quality and long-term thinking
Has a perspective and the confidence to voice it — shaping decisions, not just informing them

Requirements

• 7–10 years across finance, investment banking, consulting, or a combination — with meaningful time inside a high-growth tech or platform business
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to navigate ambiguity
• Proven ability to execute and deliver results in a fast-paced environment
• A strong financial modeler with a track record of driving business outcomes through finance partnership
• Experience central to a capital raise
• Effective communication and collaboration skills — able to translate numbers into narrative for different audiences
• A high level of ownership and accountability
• Comfort working cross-functionally and balancing competing priorities as a true thought partner to the CFO, CEO, and leaders across the company

Nice To Haves

• Experience with marketplace, B2B SaaS, or platform business models

Responsibilities

• Own the annual plan, rolling forecast, and monthly variance analysis — your analysis and commentary makes the story, it doesn't just report the news
• Run a regular operating cadence with function leads across revenue, marketing, product, and ops — translating financial performance into actionable insights and holding the business accountable
• Lead board and investor reporting — financial packages, narratives, and follow-ups
• Own the capital raise process end-to-end — data room, investor materials, model, and diligence support
• Manage ongoing investor relations — existing investor updates, relationship management, and information rights compliance
• Drive analysis across key topics such as partner economics, pricing strategy, sell-through, market expansion, cohort performance, and revenue optimization
• Own unit economics and platform analytics — GMV, take rate, and partner-level performance
• Mentor and develop an Analyst

Benefits

• Competitive salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits
• 100% remote work with flexibility and trust
• Mission-driven work that reduces food waste and expands access to affordable food
• A fast-growing, collaborative team with big ambitions
• Real opportunities for career growth
