Pepper is a women-founded, self-funded DTC intimate apparel brand celebrating small-chested women. The company has scaled to eight-figure revenue and operates as a fully remote-first team.
You will join as Strategic Finance Associate, reporting to the CFO. This role sits at the intersection of financial planning, revenue analysis, and cross-functional collaboration, serving as a key partner to Marketing, Merchandising, Operations, and Executive Leadership.
**Financial Planning and Analysis:**
You will build and maintain the consolidated financial model and own monthly rolling forecasts to stay ahead of risks to growth and profitability targets. You'll partner with the CFO to shape annual operating and long-range plans, leading assumptions builds and scenario outputs, including recommending targets and trade-offs. You'll drive month-end close processes with the Accounting team, build and distribute timely monthly financial packages to leadership, and run quarterly OpEx reviews with department leads to track spend against annual targets. You'll own forecast accuracy and present informed narrative around pacing against goals.
**Revenue Strategy and Analysis:**
You'll manage weekly performance reporting to business teams and drive underlying analyses to identify key performance drivers with cross-functional partners. You'll lead revenue forecasting and driver analysis across DTC, wholesale, and marketplace channels. You'll analyze customer cohorts, retention, AOV, CAC, and LTV and inform spend guardrails. You'll build ad-hoc analyses to evaluate promotional strategy and opportunities and make informed recommendations to influence decisions in partnership with Growth & Retention teams.
**Cross-Functional Collaboration:**
You'll translate complex financial data into clear recommendations for non-finance stakeholders, collaborate closely with Marketing, Product, Operations, Supply Chain, and Merchandising teams to improve financial visibility and decision-making processes. You'll drive the development of scalable processes and solutions for information sharing and accurate reporting, support reporting structures and tools that improve data adoption and transparency, own seamless integration between external finance support partners and the FP&A tech stack, and support executive presentations, investor reporting, and strategic planning deliverables with clear analysis and concise storytelling.
The ideal candidate brings strong financial and analytical capabilities, intellectual curiosity, and a proactive approach to problem-solving. You should be comfortable navigating ambiguity, synthesizing complex data into clear recommendations, and operating in a fast-paced environment where balancing strategic thinking with operational execution is critical.
