Director, FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis)

About The Role

We are seeking a Director of FP&A to serve as the strategic right hand to our senior finance leadership. This is a foundational, high-impact role where you will own the day-to-day rhythm of financial planning, budgeting, and corporate finance reporting. Our Forever Forward mindset shapes everything we build, and as our Director of FP&A, you will bring that same discipline to scaling our finance function. You will start as a hands-on player-coach building models and driving analysis while intentionally recruiting and developing a team that will grow alongside the business. If you want to do meaningful work inside a fast-growing brand, drive strategy through data, and build an infrastructure that lasts, this opportunity is for you.

What You'll Do

• Financial Planning & Forecasting
  • Lead the annual budgeting process end-to-end, working across every department to build a plan that is both ambitious and grounded.
  • Own the rolling forecast cadence - monthly updates, biannual retrends, scenario modeling, keeping leadership ahead of what's next.
  • Maintain and continuously improve the long-range 3 statement financial model, translating strategic priorities into numbers leadership can act on.
  • Own forecasted inventory balances and purchases in partnership with VP Planning and Merchandising.
• Reporting & Analysis
  • Own the monthly close reporting package: P&L variance analysis, key metrics, and narrative that gives leadership a clear picture fast.
  • Build and maintain board and investor reporting materials with the clarity and precision those audiences require.
  • Identify the drivers behind budget-versus-actual gaps and surface actionable insight, not just explanations.
• Business Partnership
  • Serve as the embedded finance partner for Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Product (Design/Merch/Planning) translating business decisions into financial impact in real time.
  • Support new initiative planning, channel economics, and investment decisions with well-structured financial analysis.
  • Act as a credible, respected presence in cross-functional conversations someone leaders want in the room.
• Systems & Process
  • Own the FP&A infrastructure in NetSuite and connected planning tools, maintaining accuracy and scalability as the business grows.
  • Drive continuous improvement in how we build, share, and use financial information across the organization.
  • Establish and enforce SOX-compliant controls and documentation standards in partnership with the broader finance team.
• Team Building & Leadership
  • Start as a player-coach: own and balance individual contributor work and strategy while simultaneously recruiting, onboarding, and developing the FP&A team that will scale with the business. This role currently has one direct report (Sr. Manager of FP&A) with the budget to build out a larger team as the brand continues to grow.
  • Build the team with intention define the roles Rhone needs next, hire for both skill and cultural fit, and create an environment where talented people grow quickly.
  • Develop a team culture grounded in high standards, intellectual curiosity, and accountability people who care deeply about the quality of their work and the impact it has.
  • Invest in your team's development through real coaching, clear feedback, and meaningful stretch assignments not just task delegation.
  • Set the standard for what great FP&A looks like at Rhone in the quality of the analysis, the clarity of the communication, and the speed at which the team operates.

What Success Looks Like

• First 30 Days: Master our current FP&A systems (NetSuite, Excel models), analyze the multi-channel P&L, and build trust with cross-functional department leaders.
• First 60 Days: Take full operational ownership of the monthly close reporting and budgeting cadence, identifying and implementing immediate process improvements.
• First 90 Days: Deliver updated long-range financial scenario models, finalize the hiring roadmap for your growing team, and present your first comprehensive board reporting package.

What You'll Bring

• 8–12 years of progressive Financial Planning & Analysis experience, ideally within consumer goods, retail, or direct-to-consumer (DTC) lifestyle brands.
• Proven track record of independently owning financial planning cycles and influencing non-finance stakeholders to make data-driven decisions.
• Experience hiring and developing teams in a high-growth environment, finding motivation in ambiguity and rapid change.
• A low-ego, coaching-first mentality where you value your team's growth and collaborative success over individual credit.
• Technical Capabilities:
  • Deep proficiency in NetSuite and expert-level financial modeling in Microsoft Excel (building models others can easily use and adapt).
  • Hands-on experience with connected planning or BI tools (e.g IBM Planning & Analytics, Anaplan, DOMO, Power BI).
  • Solid command of GAAP, revenue recognition, multi-channel P&L mechanics, and SOX 404 compliance documentation.
  • Genuine curiosity about integrating AI tools into finance workflows to enhance analytical rigor and team efficiency.

What You'll Get

• Discretionary time off policy
• Career growth and advancement opportunities
