Hello Chef

We&rsquo;re hiring a Finance Director to lead that change.

<li>Build scalable processes: Strengthen controls, reporting rhythms, and systems so Finance runs lean and spends more time on insights than admin.</li>
<li>Coordinate across functions: Act as the hub between Product, Operations, Procurement, and Marketing &mdash; embedding financial insight and discipline across functions so resources deliver maximum value, while building a strong, scalable Finance team by developing current staff and planning future hires.</li>
</ul>
Competencies
<ul>
<li>Commercial finance &amp; FP&amp;A mastery: 8&ndash;10 years&rsquo; experience, with strength in financial targeting, forecasting, scenario planning, capital allocation, and cash control.</li>
<li>Margin impact &amp; cost discipline: Proven track record of improving contribution margin and ROI, with relentless focus on OPEX discipline, spending control, and forecast vs. actual variance accuracy (especially with COGS).</li>
