VP, Finance
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. The page already shows it. So we should not include About Us? The posting includes "About Us" but that's not required heading list; but we can include if we think it's substantive? The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". About Us has content, but not in the list of headings examples; but we could still include as About Us
. However they gave examples but not exclusive. Probably we should include About Us as a section. However they said "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests those are typical sections; we can also include About Us if present. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might combine About Us into intro paragraph? But we need to preserve ALL substantive information. The About Us paragraph is substantive; we could put it in a
before sections, not as a heading. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can keep About Us as a
without heading. Probably better to not create a heading for About Us unless needed. The examples didn't list About Us, but we could still use
About Us
if we want. However they said "usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That implies those are the headings we should use; we shouldn't invent others. So we should not add About Us heading. Instead we can include About Us content in a leading
before sections. Thus structure:
About Us paragraph...
About the role
... (the paragraph about role)
Responsibilities
- ... ... (list each bullet from "What You'll Do")
Requirements
maybe combine About You bullet list into- ... etc. Could also split into Qualifications and Skills but we can just have Requirements.
But we have "About You" which includes education, experience, traits. We'll put as
About You
maybe but they said we can use Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could split: Requirements (education + experience), Qualifications (traits), Skills (proficiencies). However to keep few sections, we can just haveAbout You
with list. But they said use those headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map About You to Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. Let's split: - Requirements: Bachelor's Degree required; 15+ years of experience in finance and strategic analysis in operational roles within an ecommerce brand, apparel retailer or consumer products company. Additional time spent in investment banking/consulting/asset management is a plus. - Qualifications: Curious, hardworking, demonstrated ability to quickly immerse into a new business and provide valuable insight, questions and contributions; Ability to focus on details as well as understand the larger context, independent thinker; Experiencing leading, building and managing a high performing team; Entrepreneurial drive, excellent communication and interpersonal skills with demonstrated ability to work in a fast paced and dynamic environment; Strong leadership and mentorship skills. - Skills: Highly proficient in financial analysis and model building and understands the implications of that analysis for decision making; Highly motivated and willing to take on multiple responsibilities at once; Able to work comfortably under pressure and meet tight deadlines. We need to preserve all info; we can keep as list items. Benefits: list each benefit. Pay: we have salary range and equity compensation mention. So we createPay
withcontaining the salary range and equity note. Schedule: we have "We are in the office Monday-Thursday." Also "Office centric work - our corporate employees and technical leaders have the option to work remotely on Fridays, in accordance with Company policies." So schedule: Monday-Thursday in office, optional remote Friday. We'll put in
Schedule
. We must exclude boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, privacy policy, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft. First paragraph About Us: combine the two sentences? Actually About Us paragraph is multiple sentences. We'll keep as
About Us Rent the Runway (RTR) is transforming the way we get dressed by pioneering the world’s first Closet in the Cloud. Founded in 2009, RTR has disrupted the $2.4 trillion fashion industry by inspiring women with a more joyful, sustainable and financially-savvy way to feel their best every day. As the ultimate destination for circular fashion, the brand now offers infinite points of access to its shared closet via a fully customizable subscription to fashion, one-time rental or ownership. RTR offers designer apparel and accessories from hundreds of brand partners and has built in-house proprietary technology and a one-of-a-kind reverse logistics operation. RTR has been named to CNBC’s “Disruptor 50” five times in ten years, and has been placed on Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list multiple times.
Then About the role paragraph: we have a block. We'll put asAbout The Role The VP of Finance will serve as a key member of the financial leadership team reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer. By way of best-in-class planning, insightful analyses, and strategic thinking, the Finance team plays a key role in partnering with the business and informing leadership of actual and projected performance. In addition, the team’s focus is on analyzing business trends, recommending adjustments and supporting new initiatives in a fast-paced and highly collaborative, cross-functional environment. You will be empowered to drive improvements in the quality of our work as the RTR business grows under new leadership and strategic direction. We are seeking a seasoned finance leader with an entrepreneurial drive, strong leadership skills, and proven ability to partner with various business leaders. This is an office centric role based out of our Brooklyn, NY headquarters. We are in the office Monday-Thursday.
But note schedule info appears also later; we might duplicate. We'll keep schedule later separate; but we can keep it here as part of role description; but we might duplicate. To avoid duplication, maybe we should not include schedule in About the role paragraph; but the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can keep it there and also later in Schedule section? That would duplicate. Better to keep schedule only in Schedule section, and remove from About the role paragraph. However the About the role paragraph includes "This is an office centric role based out of our Brooklyn, NY headquarters. We are in the office Monday-Thursday." That's schedule info. We could keep it there and not have separate Schedule section, but we also have other schedule details about remote Friday. The schedule info is split: Monday-Thursday in office, optional remote Friday. We could keep both in Schedule section and remove from About the role paragraph. But we need to preserve all info; we can move it to Schedule section and omit from About the role paragraph. However the About the role paragraph also contains other info; we can edit to remove the schedule sentence. That's okay as long as we preserve the info elsewhere. Let's do that. Thus About the role paragraph without schedule sentence. Now Responsibilities: list each bullet from "What You'll Do". Let's extract: - Lead the FP&A team - partnering closely with key stakeholders across the business to budget, forecast and manage the business. - Play an integral role in the company’s strategic evolution from a concentrated subscription membership model to a fashion service platform that serves our customer’s desires to rent, reserve and buy apparel and accessories. - Lead a redesigned enterprise planning and performance reporting process and manage ongoing rolling forecast updates. - Drive operational excellence and business leader accountability through the weekly, monthly and quarterly planning cadences. - Drive strategic financial planning, building long range plans and size strategic initiatives in partnership with operating leaders across the business. - Partner with CFO to formulate external guidance to the street and ensure the business is being managed in a disciplined way to meet external commitments. - Lead corporate financing activities through development of recommendations to the board of directors, analysis of options on timing and sources of funding, and successfully completing the financings in partnership with internal and external legal counsel. - Assist with external SEC filings through developing relevant MD&A commentary and business risk disclosure narratives. - Build and iterate complex financial models covering all aspects of RTR’s operations that will enable effective decision making regarding the company’s revenue growth strategy, cost structure, and capital investments. - Improve operating teams’ understanding of financial statements and budget adherence with thoughtful and transparent analysis and partnership. - Maintain and enhance efficiency of internal financial reporting processes, serving as a thought leader to upgrade reporting standards through the pursuit of continuous process improvement. - Evaluate and make recommendations on investments in planning systems and analytic toolsets that leverage company data and AI capabilities. - In partnership with the Business Intelligence function, establish, track and monitor key operating metrics used to drive the business to greater efficiency. - Create ad-hoc analyses to drive business strategy, improve efficiency and maximize ROI. - Establish FP&A team excellence through establishing departmental vision, goal setting, coaching and individual development plans. - Assist in preparation of materials for Board of Director meetings and participate in key financial planning presentations. - Participate in Senior Leadership Team initiatives and bring a trusted financial voice to planning discussions and execution activities. - Oversee reporting and compliance certification requirements for lender entities and prepare external auditor liquidity analysis. We'll put each as - .
