Senior Manager of FP&A and Finance Analytics

About the Company

Over a decade ago, lifelong friends Ray Carnes and Ron Cundy developed a dream. Inspired by the idea of eating better, spending more time with loved ones, and doing what they love, they set out to develop the highest-quality wood pellet grills on the market. Thanks to the flavor, convenience, and versatility provided by their grills, that dream has flourished. Now, offering more than just grills, recteq has grown to become a multi-faceted lifestyle brand with an expanding line of outdoor products. With its new trademarked identity and armed with the same commitment to quality that has brought such success, the recteq dream is now positioned to endure, allowing future generations to spend more time with the people they love, enjoying the things they love to do.
