Director, Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A)

We are a lifestyle brand!

We are on a mission to provide the world with simple, wholesome food and beverage items that fit today's lifestyle, offering an intimate - yet fast and consistent - experience to our customers.

We love and take pride in what we do, and we currently offer an exciting opportunity to join a thriving and ever-growing brand in this industry.

ROLE OVERVIEW:

Reporting directly to the CFO, the Director of FP&A will act as the operational engine of our Finance team as we continue to scale.

We are seeking a highly analytical problem-solver and cross-functional collaborator who can work closely with our Operations, Marketing, Culinary, and Real Estate teams. Your core mission will be to uncover data-backed insights, optimize our margins, and help chart the course for our long-term strategic roadmap.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Planning & Forecasting: You will direct the annual budgeting cycle, rolling forecasts, and multi-year planning for our growing store footprint.
• Performance Management: Lead and run the monthly performance management cadence, including P&L reviews by unit, region, channel and function, versus key metrics. This position is also expected to build automated dashboards for real-time visibility and maintain KPIs to identify and understand performance drivers. You will be expected to analyze performance data to bring strategic and actionable insights to senior leadership.
• Executive & Board Reporting: Design and deliver clear, decision-ready reporting for the CFO, CEO, and board, including investor-grade materials. Translate complexity into a story leadership can act on.
• Unit Economics & Growth: You will partner with the business to own new-unit economics: development budgets, pre-opening costs, ramp curves, payback analysis, and post-opening performance reviews that sharpen future decisions. Produce detailed financial models and pro-formas for prospective locations and monitor Capex.
• Business Partnering: You will partner with Operations, Culinary, Supply Chain, and Marketing to model and provide quantitative analysis on initiatives, such as sales trends, labor productivity, pricing decisions, promotions, and connect operational drivers to financial outcomes. You will also evaluate marketing spend ROI.
• Systems & Process Build: Partnering with IT, you will ensure our financial technology infrastructure leverages our ERP, POS (Toast), and BI platforms to drive accuracy, integrity, and real-time access to data and analytics.
• Cash & Capital: Facilitate cash flow forecasting, capital planning for new-store development, and support stakeholder reporting requirements in partnership with the CFO.
• Team Leadership: Hire, develop, and lead an FP&A team over time, while staying hands-on in the data, analytics and insights yourself.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related discipline (MBA or CFA preferred).
• 12 years of progressive experience in corporate finance or FP&A, including ownership of budgeting, forecasting and management reporting. A proven track record within scaling, multi-unit retail or restaurant brands would be a plus.
• A teacher-leader-doer. No task is beneath you, and no room intimidates you.
• Exceptional financial modeling capabilities, including sensitivity analysis, scenario planning, and unit-level pro-formas.
• Deeply fluent in multi-unit economics. You understand four-wall P&Ls, prime costs, and what drives unit-level performance.
• High proficiency with modern ERP and financial software (e.g., NetSuite, R365), FP&A planning platforms (e.g., Anaplan) as well as BI platforms (Tableau, Power BI). Familiarity with POS integrations (such as Toast) is highly advantageous.
• A builder comfortable with ambiguity. You have created processes, reporting, and tools where none existed.
• Strong understanding of core accounting principles (GAAP), cost accounting, and deep variance analysis.
• Outstanding communication capabilities, specifically the ability to translate dense financial data into clear strategies for non-technical partners.
• A person of strong character. Direct, low-ego, high-integrity, and steady under pressure. You say what the numbers say, you do what you commit to, and you make the people around you better.

BENEFITS:

• Health & Wellness – Medical, Dental & Vision
• PTO
• Discounted Meals
• Growth Opportunities
• 401(k) Plan with Company Match
