Strategic Finance Manager, Temp

About the role

We're looking for a Strategic Finance Manager to help us understand what's happening in the business today-and what's coming next. This is a senior individual contributor role focused on financial modeling, forecasting, and business insight. You'll work across Marketing, Fulfillment, and Leadership to translate data into decisions-helping Grove operate more efficiently and scale more intentionally. You'll own complex analyses, build models from scratch, and partner closely with stakeholders to guide decisions. This is a role for someone who is both analytically deep and highly curious-able to navigate ambiguity and deliver clarity. This role is a 6 month temp commitment (but it's possible we'll need you permanently!).

Responsibilities

• Financial Modeling & Forecasting
• Support Grove's operating forecast (weekly/monthly)
• Build and maintain models across:
• LTV / CAC by channel
• Marketing efficiency and spend allocation
• Fulfillment and operational metrics
• Identify risks, pressure-test assumptions, and proactively adjust outlook
• Marketing & Growth Analytics
• Analyze paid media performance
• Evaluate customer acquisition efficiency and cohort behavior
• Partner with Marketing to optimize spend and improve paybacks
• Fulfillment & Cost Structure Analysis
• Model shipping, labor, and operational costs
• Identify cost drivers and opportunities for margin improvement
• Support international expansion
• Executive Support
• Translate complex analysis into clear, actionable insights
• Support leadership and board-level discussions as needed
• Operate confidently in high-visibility environments
• HOW YOU'LL SHOW UP
• At Grove, this role is about operating as a senior, high-impact individual contributor-someone who can work through complex business problems and deliver practical, decision-ready insights.
• Own complex analytical problems: You'll work on high-impact questions where the right answer requires evaluating multiple variables and tradeoffs.
• Apply strong judgment: You'll determine the best approach to modeling and analysis, adapting methods as needed to get to clear outcomes.
• Connect the dots across the business: You understand how Marketing, Fulfillment, and Finance interrelate-and reflect that in your work.
• Operate with autonomy: You're trusted to own your work end-to-end, with output reviewed for alignment to broader goals rather than step-by-step direction.
• Influence through insight: You'll regularly partner with stakeholders across teams, using data and clear communication to guide decisions.
• Balance rigor and pragmatism: You know when to go deep-and when to move forward with imperfect data to keep the business moving.
• WHAT THIS ROLE IS (and isn't)
• This is a senior IC role, not a people management role
• You will influence decisions through partnership with executive stakeholders
• You are expected to operate with independence, strong judgment, and cross-functional collaboration
• ABOUT YOU
• You have 8+ years of relevant experience, or equivalent depth
• Your background is in: Strategic Finance, FP&A, Investment Banking, or similar
• You have strong experience with:
• Deep proficiency in Excel / Google Sheets
• Experience working cross-functionally with business teams
• Strong communication skills-able to translate complexity into clarity
• You are comfortable operating in fast-paced, evolving environments
• STRONG CANDIDATES MAY HAVE
• Experience in DTC or CPG businesses
• Familiarity with marketing performance analytics
• Experience modeling fulfillment or operational cost structures
• CLASSIFICATION & COMPENSATION
• This temporary, full-time, exempt position is remote for candidates based in the following states: California, Maine, Pennsylvania, Nevada, North Carolina, Texas, Colorado, Washington, Illinois, New York, Missouri, and Massachusetts.
• The salary range for this role is $135,000-150,000. Our compensation bands are determined based on market-specific data, meaning that the top of our salary range is reserved for the most experienced candidates in the highest cost of living areas across the country.
