Fitt Talent Partners is a specialized recruitment firm for top health and wellness companies.
We’re filling this role for a client, a design-forward technology company developing a category-defining breathing lamp.
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.
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.
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.
