🌟 Why join Cosi Care?
Cosi-Care is on a mission to support people living with skin conditions by creating innovative, comforting solutions. We're looking for a talented Strategic Finance Analyst to join our team.
The Role:
You’ll join the Finance team and help turn raw operational and financial data into clear, structured decision-making. This is a hands-on, high-impact role supporting leadership on forecasting, manufacturing economics, pricing/margins, and capital planning as we scale. This role is a great fit for someone who wants real exposure to startup finance, manufacturing/unit economics, and executive-level decision support—while building strong foundational FP&A skills.
✨What you’ll be doing:
Financial modeling, forecasting & scenario analysis
- Build and maintain a rolling 3-year forecast (P&L, cash flow, and key operating drivers)
- Develop scenario models to support manufacturing scale decisions (capacity, volumes, cost curve, timelines)
- Model tool transfer vs. reinvestment economics and related payback/ROI
- Analyze bill of materials (BOM) changes and cost sensitivity across suppliers and components
- Evaluate margin impact across product lines and sales channels
- Support pricing, promotions, and bundling analyses (unit economics and contribution margin)
Management reporting & KPI dashboards
- Prepare monthly management reporting packs with insights and variance analysis (actuals vs. forecast)
- Support board and investor reporting (metrics, narratives, and financial highlights)
- Build and improve KPI dashboards across:
- Revenue, gross margin, contribution margin
- CAC, LTV (as applicable), retention/cohorts (as applicable)
- Inventory turns, working capital, and cash runway
Manufacturing & cost analysis (domestic vs. overseas)
- Build detailed cost models comparing U.S. vs. overseas production options
- Analyze labor, overhead absorption, freight, duties/tariffs, and scale efficiencies
- Model inventory requirements and working capital implications of different supply plans
- Identify and evaluate grant/incentive opportunities tied to manufacturing and capex
Capital planning & strategic finance support
- Support cash flow planning and runway management; highlight key risk drivers and levers
- Assist with equity/debt modeling and preparation of materials for lenders and investors
- Support analysis of intercompany economics between UK and US entities (e.g., royalty/intercompany assumptions), working alongside external tax/legal advisors as appropriate
Light accounting / data quality support
- Assist with bookkeeping oversight and data reconciliation to ensure clean inputs for modeling
- Support month-end close processes (tie-outs, variance checks, and documentation)
- Help maintain reliable source-of-truth data for reporting and decision-making
🔎 What We’re Looking For:
- 0–3 years of experience in finance, accounting, consulting, banking, operations analytics, or similar
- Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills; comfortable building structured models from scratch
- Solid analytical fundamentals (you can translate messy inputs into clear drivers and assumptions)
- Detail-oriented, intellectually curious, and comfortable working with imperfect data
- A self-starter with a high-ownership mindset; you follow through and improve what you touch
- Interested in startups and gaining real operational exposure
Nice To Have:
- Background in finance, accounting, economics, engineering, or another quantitative field
- Familiarity with manufacturing cost structures (labor/overhead, absorption, yield/scrap, freight, tariffs)
- Exposure to hardware and/or SaaS unit economics (COGS, margins, contribution, CAC/LTV)
- Basic SQL or BI tooling experience (Looker, Tableau, Power BI) for dashboarding
- Be part of a growing, mission-driven brand that’s changing the way people manage skin conditions.
- Direct exposure to executive-level strategic decisions and operating tradeoffs
- Ownership of core models that influence pricing, margins, capex, and growth planning
- Deep understanding of startup finance and manufacturing economics (a rare combo)
- High learning velocity in a pivotal growth stage environment
💸 Pay: $55K - $80K base salary depending on experience
