Our client ($700m) is a high-growth, technology-enabled consumer business, backed by a mid-market private equity fund, that partners with leading brands to accelerate sales on Amazon and other online marketplaces.

Headquartered in South Florida with a growing international footprint, the organization is on an ambitious path toward $1B+ in revenue, driven by data, technology, and operational excellence.
The Head of Financial Planning will play a central role in building and leading the analytical foundation that supports commercial and operational decision-making across the business.
Reporting directly to the Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) — alongside the CFO — this is a high-visibility role with direct exposure to executive leadership. The position is ideal for a driven finance professional who wants to operate at the intersection of data, strategy, and commercial execution.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and own the finance analysis function, delivering fast, accurate insights that guide decision-making across sales, operations, and supply chain.
- Inventory & investment analysis: Evaluate large-scale inventory and acquisition opportunities ($10M+), supporting strategic buying decisions and margin optimization.
- Profitability analysis: Build models to assess brand- and SKU-level performance, identifying growth and efficiency levers.
- Operational analytics: Partner with warehouse and logistics teams to evaluate costs, throughput, and process improvements.
- Financial modelling & forecasting: Create dynamic models to support planning, scenario analysis, and performance tracking.
- Reporting & dashboards: Build scalable tools to monitor KPIs such as sales velocity, margin, working capital, and promotional ROI.
- Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with commercial, finance, and operations leadership to translate data into strategic recommendations.
Candidate Profile
- Former investment banking or private equity analysts with strong financial modeling foundations.
- FP&A or corporate finance professionals from consumer, retail, or eCommerce businesses.
- High-performing early-career analysts from financial institutions or consulting firms seeking a more operational, commercial role.
Core competencies:
- Exceptional financial modelling and analytical skills.
- Strong business judgment and comfort working with large, complex datasets (tens of thousands of SKUs across hundreds of brands).
- Highly efficient, detail-oriented, and capable of delivering insights quickly and accurately.
- Strong communicator who can distil analysis into actionable takeaways for senior leaders.
Personal traits:
- Self-starter comfortable operating in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
- Intellectually curious, data-driven, and eager to build structure where it doesn’t yet exist.
- Collaborative and commercially minded, with an interest in how analytics drive real business outcomes.
Why This Role
- Work directly with senior executives on high-impact strategic and financial initiatives.
- Build the analytical backbone of a fast-growing consumer platform scaling toward $1B+.
- Gain exposure to deal evaluation, operational strategy, and commercial decision-making.
- Join a data-driven, high-performance culture where initiative and insight are valued.
