FP&A Director

About the role: Curri is seeking an FP&A Director to build and own the company's financial planning and analysis function from the ground up. Right now finance bandwidth is stretched, and this role adds dedicated FP&A leadership to own forecasting, budgeting, variance analysis, and board reporting. You will inherit a functioning but underbuilt finance function and make it meaningfully better: faster reporting, cleaner models, and significantly less manual work, deploying modern tooling and AI to get there. What you will do: - Work with the finance team to redesign Curri's financial reporting infrastructure, moving from ad-hoc models to automated, scalable systems built on top of our existing data - Build and maintain automated monthly and quarterly reporting workflows that reduce manual effort and increase accuracy and speed - Deploy tools to accelerate financial analysis, scenario modeling, and narrative generation - Establish performance dashboards and KPIs that scale with the business and give leadership real-time insight - Lead and evolve Curri's core financial models including operating forecasts, budgets, and long-range plans in close partnership with the CFO and VP Finance - Build sophisticated models from scratch and improve existing ones and break complex business problems into clean financial components - Review monthly and quarterly budget variances and partner with department leads to identify drivers and recommend action - Support strategic initiatives through scenario analysis, ROI modeling, and ad hoc financial research - Lead the preparation of executive-level financial reporting and board-ready presentations, partnering with the CFO to deliver clear analysis and narrative - Translate financial data into actionable insights for senior leadership and cross-functional partners - Contribute to investor and board materials as the company continues to scale - Be the go-to financial resource for strategic and analytical requests across the business - Partner with executives across Sales, Operations, and Product to support planning, performance tracking, and decision-making - Analyze trends, variances, and key drivers to explain business performance and inform next steps - Serve as a close thought partner to the CFO, VP Finance and C-suite team on improving financial visibility, rigor, and execution across the company What you need to have: - 5–8 years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, or a similar analytical finance role - Expert financial modeling skills, with the ability to build models from scratch and translate complex data into clean, actionable insights - Strong familiarity with modern FP&A tools and enough experience to know what to avoid and what to optimize for - Demonstrated experience implementing and using AI tools to accelerate financial analysis, reporting, or forecasting, not experimentation but shipped work - Systems-builder mindset that designs scalable processes and automations before defaulting to manual effort or headcount - High ownership and ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment - Experience working cross-functionally in a high-growth startup or similar environment Bonus points for: - SQL proficiency and the ability to pull and manipulate data directly from source systems - Experience in a venture-backed startup or fast-scaling environment - Exposure to SaaS, marketplace, or operations-heavy business models - Familiarity with Curri's market: construction materials, last-mile logistics, or industrial supply chains - Based in Southern California with proximity to Ventura HQ for periodic in-person collaboration What is in it for you? - Meaningful ownership and direct impact on company growth, with visibility into the full business from Day 1 and a close working relationship with the CFO - Opportunity to modernize and shape Curri's financial planning function, building it alongside a team invested in getting it right - Remote-friendly role with preference for Ventura-based candidates - Competitive salary, equity, and full benefits including health, dental, vision, and 401k - A team focused on meaningful work, personal growth, and long-term impact Who are we?
