• Build dashboards and KPIs covering margins, inventory health, and operational performance

• Support systems optimization and automation, including ERP and reporting tools

• Act as a strategic thought partner to the President and leadership team

The Ideal Candidate

• CPA (or equivalent) with 5–10 years of progressive experience

• Background in manufacturing, distribution, or hard-goods environments

• Strong understanding of inventory, landed costs, and operational finance

• Comfortable operating hands-on while contributing to long-term planning
