About Nood

At Nood, we are redefining the body care category by delivering clinical-level results at home. With over 1 million customers and counting, our flagship IPL devices – including the best-selling Flasher Pro™ – have set a new standard for beauty tech, driving rapid DTC growth and nationwide retail expansion. We believe in the power of technology, creativity, and disciplined execution to make high-performance beauty accessible, build lasting confidence, and shape the future of self-care.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a strategic, analytical, and operationally minded Head of Finance & Strategy to serve as a trusted thought partner to the CEO and organization. This hybrid role will sit at the center of financial planning, strategic decision-making, and business operations, driving clarity, focus, and disciplined execution across the organization.

You will own the company’s financial model, close and forecast process, management reporting, and cash flow planning. You’ll be accountable for delivering accurate, timely insights, enforcing process discipline, and driving alignment across teams – ensuring the business scales with foresight and operational rigor.

This is an ideal role for someone with a corporate finance, investment banking, private equity, or management consulting background who thrives in ambiguity but also has the precision and discipline to operate financial processes end-to-end.

What You’ll Do

Financial Leadership

  • Own company-wide forecasting, budgeting, and performance tracking.
  • Own the full month-end close and reconciliation process, ensuring reconciled financials and a management presentation are completed by the 15th of each month
  • Maintain and continuously improve a three-statement financial model and rolling 90-day forecast, managed in Google Sheets to ensure transparency and usability for all key executives.
  • Deliver executive-ready management reporting (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, actuals vs. forecast, Opex variances, solvency metrics).
  • Monitor and communicate cash flow proactively; surface risks and propose action plans before they become constraints.

Strategic Execution & Ops

  • Drive annual and quarterly planning cycles (OKRs, priorities, resourcing).
  • Analyze margin, CAC / LTV, contribution profit, and operating leverage to inform growth strategy.

  • Partner with functional leads (Marketing, Ops, Amazon, Retail) to validate assumptions, reconcile variances, and translate data into actionable insights.
  • Own COGS reconciliation at SKU and channel level, ensuring landed cost accuracy and alignment with Ops inputs each month.
  • Identify and implement operational improvements to increase efficiency and clarity.
  • CEO & Leadership Support

  • Partner with the CEO on business model evolution, capital strategy, and special projects.
  • Lead ad hoc analyses to inform high-impact decisions (retail expansion, pricing strategy, new product investment).
  • Collaborate with leadership on financing strategies, from debt facilities to equity raises, providing proactive recommendations and execution support.
  • Run a weekly finance meeting (30–45 minutes) to review AP schedule, cash flow visibility, and departmental support needs.
  • Role Expectations

  • Proactivity : You own the finance function end-to-end. You surface risks first (cash flow, tracking issues, reporting gaps) and bring solutions – not problems – to the table.
  • Accountability : You are responsible for reconciled financials, management reporting, and forecasts delivered on time and with accuracy, proactively surfacing and explaining variances with a
  • Communication : You ensure proactive updates via Slack and meetings, giving full visibility into financial timelines, risks, and deliverables.
  • Collaboration : You minimize lift for non-finance stakeholders by delivering first drafts (variance commentary, forecast assumptions) for validation, not creation.
  • Adherence : You maintain established reporting formats and templates that are essential to ensure visibility and consistency across departments.
  • Requirements

    Who You Are

  • 6 – 10 years of experience in finance at a fast-paced startup (preferably consumer, DTC, or eCommerce), private equity, or investment banking.
  • Exceptional financial modeling and business analytics skills.
  • Confident operator who can turn strategic thinking into concrete execution.
  • Comfortable enforcing process discipline – structured closes, forecast reviews, reconciliations, and reporting deadlines.
  • Clear communicator who can align stakeholders and drive accountability.
  • Obsessed with clarity, efficiency, and structured thinking.
  • Low ego, high ownership, and energized by solving hard problems with a lean team.
  • Benefits

    Benefits

  • Join a rocket-ship omni-channel brand redefining clinical beauty at home
  • Lead the finance and strategy function driving our growth
  • Work with a mission-driven team and make an impact on millions of customers
  • Competitive salary with potential bonus and equity compensation
  • Top tier medical insurance / benefits
  • At Nood, we believe that to build the best team, our baseline is an environment where everyone can bring their full & authentic selves to the table. We are committed to fair hiring practices where we hire team members for their potential & advocate for diversity, equity, & inclusion. We do not discriminate based on your race, color, religion, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, age, military service eligibility, veteran status, marital status, disability, or any other protected class.
