Job Description

We’re hiring a Director of Finance & Operations — a hands-on, resourceful operator who thrives wearing many hats and taking full ownership across finance, operations, legal, and HR. This is a foundational role: you will partner closely with the CEO, build core business systems from the ground up, and keep the company running smoothly as we scale from early-stage to high-growth.

If you’re someone who is energized by rolling up your sleeves, solving problems independently, and building structure in a dynamic environment, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

  • Finance

    • Build and manage financial models, budgets, forecasts, and scenario planning.

    • Establish and manage accounting, bookkeeping, cash flow management, and credit card/expense workflows.

    • Coordinate financial reporting and support fundraising efforts.

    • Prepare materials and data for investor updates, diligence, and board communication.

    • Own demand planning and unit economics across the hardware business.

    • Manage banking relationships, loans, payments, and financial compliance.

  • Operations

    • Oversee manufacturing timelines and coordinate with hardware, firmware, and supply-chain partners.

    • Develop and manage logistics, order fulfillment partners, and inventory systems.

    • Track production schedules, and inventory health.

    • Build efficient processes that enable us to scale without friction.

    • Serve as the operational point person for launch readiness and product rollout.

  • Legal & Compliance

    • Manage vendor agreements, NDAs, and contract workflows.

    • Maintain corporate governance documents and compliance cadence.

    • Administer equity through Carta and support cap table updates.

    • Coordinate insurance needs and risk management across the business.

  • People & HR

    • Support onboarding, payroll coordination, and HR administration.

    • Support hiring processes, including role scoping, candidate coordination, and scheduling.

    • Help shape team culture, internal communication, and rhythms as we grow.

    • Manage benefits enrollment and employee documentation.

About You

  • 3–5+ years of experience in finance, operations, or a similar cross-functional role (hardware or consumer products a plus).

  • A proactive self-starter — you don’t wait to be told; you find what needs doing and get it done.

  • Exceptionally organized with strong operational instincts.

  • Highly reliable, positive, and resourceful — someone people trust to execute.

  • Comfortable in early-stage ambiguity; able to build processes from zero.

  • Strong analytical skills and financial fluency; excellent with spreadsheets and modeling.

  • Ego-free, and collaborative — you elevate the team simply by how you work.

  • Excellent communicator who can switch between high-level strategy and in-the-weeds

    execution.

  • Motivated to help build a meaningful health & wellbeing company from the ground up.
