About The Position

Curri is seeking an FP&A Director to build and own the company's financial planning and analysis function from the ground up. This role adds dedicated FP&A leadership to own forecasting, budgeting, variance analysis, and board reporting, freeing the CFO and VP Finance to focus on strategy. The successful candidate will inherit a functioning but underbuilt finance function and make it meaningfully better: faster reporting, cleaner models, and significantly less manual work, deploying modern tooling and AI to get there.

Requirements

5–8 years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, or a similar analytical finance role
Expert financial modeling skills, with the ability to build models from scratch and translate complex data into clean, actionable insights
Strong familiarity with modern FP&A tools and enough experience to know what to avoid and what to optimize for
Demonstrated experience implementing and using AI tools to accelerate financial analysis, reporting, or forecasting, not experimentation but shipped work
Systems-builder mindset that designs scalable processes and automations before defaulting to manual effort or headcount
High ownership and ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
Experience working cross-functionally in a high-growth startup or similar environment

Nice To Haves

SQL proficiency and the ability to pull and manipulate data directly from source systems
Experience in a venture-backed startup or fast-scaling environment
Exposure to SaaS, marketplace, or operations-heavy business models
Familiarity with Curri's market: construction materials, last-mile logistics, or industrial supply chains
Based in Southern California with proximity to Ventura HQ for periodic in-person collaboration
