Role Description
Caraway Home is a direct-to-consumer cookware and home goods brand with a fast-growing retail and wholesale business. Our finance function is not a back-office group; it sets the demand plan that commits our inventory capital, owns pricing architecture, and partners directly with the Leadership Team on strategic financial decisions. This role will report to and work alongside the Associate Director of FP&A across the full range of what the team owns:
-
Demand planning and inventory
-
Pricing and unit economics
-
Budgeting and reforecasting
-
Executive reporting
It's a hybrid role by design: you'll move constantly between units and dollars, between a SKU-level forecast and a channel P&L, because that movement is the core skill of the team.
Qualifications
-
4β7 years in FP&A, strategic finance, merchandise or inventory planning, or category management, in a consumer, retail, or e-commerce business.
-

-
Self-sufficiency in a BI tool, ideally SQL.
-
Strong Excel and independent modeling ability.
-
Comfort working across departments.
-
Familiarity with the GL, chart of accounts, financial statements, P&L structure, and budget-to-actuals reporting.
-
Comfort being visibly wrong.
Requirements
-
SKU-level planning experience: assortment productivity, open-to-buy, receipt planning, or markdown and promotional planning.
