FUELED BY PEOPLE.\nWhat’s it like to work at Kinder’s? Well, there’s a lot of snacking and geeking out over what we all cooked over the weekend. Beyond that, there’s also plenty of hard work. Because we don’t just like flavor, we’re obsessed with it. \nWith over 100 products sold nationwide, we’re now a top-five brand in multiple flavor categories at Costco, Walmart, Whole Foods, and more. We’re not your typical CPG company. Privately held and founder-led, we like to think of ourselves as a pirate ship in a sea of cruise ships. Our crew is adventurous and fearless. We chart our own course and chase big ideas to make food unforgettable. \nAs we expand globally and approach $1 billion in revenue, we need more smart-and-scrappy, flavor-obsessed people to come aboard. If you’re looking for a place where you can see the real impact of your work... this is it! Every day, you’ll be part of a journey to add flavor to millions of meals and lives. \nAbout The Role\nAs Kinder’s enters its next growth phase, the organization is moving to a General Manager-led model, with each General Manager (GM) fully accountable for the results of their Business Unit. The BU Finance Lead will be the GM’s finance partner and a core member of the Business Unit leadership team, effectively the CFO of the Business Unit. This role co-owns the Business Unit's results with the GM: shaping strategic choices, setting financial targets, driving the actions that deliver them, and holding the team accountable for profitable growth, margin, and cash. \nThe BU Finance Lead operateswithin the GM-led organizational model, leveraginghorizontal Finance teams that provide enterprise-wide expertiseand capabilities (Sales Finance, Supply Chain Finance, Accounting) and working directly with enterprise functions such as Operations and R&D. The role is accountable for pulling those capabilities together into one plan and one set of decisions for the Business Unit, not for duplicating them. \nThe role also serves as the integrator of the Business Unit's financial and operating agenda. Beyond the P&L (revenue, trade, margin, COGS, operating expenses, working capital, and investment), the BU Finance Lead is expected to help steer the levers that drive results: operations and supply performance (cost, capacity, service, productivity), sales execution (distribution, velocity, pricing and promotional effectiveness, customer and channel performance), and the innovation agenda (pipeline prioritization, launch economics, post-launch performance). The goal is to give the GM one integrated view of how the business is performing, why, and what to do about it. \nKey Responsibilities\nStrategic Business Partnership to the General Manager \nServe as the primary finance business partner and trusted advisor to the GM, with shared accountability for delivering the Business Unit's financial commitments. \nTurn financial results into decisions: bring the GM and leadership team clear recommendations and a point of view on what to do, not just what happened. \nShape BU strategy as a core member of the Business Unit leadership team, bringing a fact-based point of view on where to play and how to win. \nTranslate the BU strategy into financial targets, priorities, and resource allocation, and ensure resources follow the highest-return opportunities. \nIdentify financial risks and opportunities early and drive the actions needed to close gaps or capture upside. \nCo-lead strategic choices with the GM involving growth, pricing, portfolio, customers, channels, innovation, capacity, organizational investments, and resource allocation. \nFrame the financial trade-offs between competing business priorities and make a clear recommendation. \nChallenge the business constructively, including saying “no” or “not yet” to investments that don’tearn their return. \nDriving BU Performance & P&L Ownership \nCo-own the BU P&L with the GM (revenue, trade, gross margin, COGS, operating expenses, EBITDA, and cash flow) and be accountable for delivering the plan. \nLead the monthly BU business review as a decision forum focused on gaps to plan, forecast, and prior year, their root causes, and the actions and owners needed to close them. \nIdentify the few drivers that matter most and build the BU's action agenda around them (e.g., pricing, mix, trade efficiency, productivity, overhead). \nEstablish clear financial targets and accountability for each member of the BU leadership team, and follow through on delivery. \nSurface issues early and drive gap-closing plans with clear ownership, timing, and quantified impact, tracking them through to results. \nLead value-creation initiatives directly (margin improvement, cost productivity, trade optimization, SKU rationalization) from idea through measured P&L results. \nHold the business to its commitments by tracking post-investment results for major decisions (launches, capex, trade programs) and feeding the lessons into future choices. \nIntegrated Planning & Forecasting \nLead the Business Unit's annual operating plan, forecasting, and long-range planning processes, ensuring plans are ambitious, achievable, and aligned with corporate objectives and capital constraints. \nEstablish a driver-based planning and forecasting process that connects commercial, operational, and financial assumptions. \nProvide the GM with a consolidated view of risks, opportunities, and scenarios, with response plans ready for each. \nOwn forecast accuracy for the BU and use the forecast as an early-warning system that triggers action, not just a projection. \nRevenue Growth & Sales Execution \nPartner with the Sales Finance organization to ensure the BU has a clear and integrated view of revenue performance and commercial economics by customer, channel, and item. \nDrive revenue growth management with Sales Finance and Sales/Marketing leadership: pricing, Price Pack Architecture, trade investment, promotion, mix, customer profitability, and channel economics. \nConnect sales execution to the P&L (distribution, velocity, promotional lift, and customer joint business plans) and drive course-corrections when execution falls short of plan. \nChallenge the business case for major commercial investments, make a clear go/no-go recommendation, and hold the business accountable for delivering the return. \nTranslate customer, channel, pricing, and mix dynamics into implications for the BUP&L. \nOperations & Supply Chain Performance \nPartner with the Supply Chain Finance organization and Operations across manufacturing, sourcing, logistics, and inventory. \nIntegrate supply chain financial performance into the overall BU P&L and business outlook. \nDrive the BU's cost and productivity agenda with Supply Chain Finance and Operations, identifying, prioritizing, and tracking savings through to the P&L. \nEnsure supply chain decisions balance cost, service, working capital, and growth, and that capacityinvestments are sized to the BU's growth plans. \nProvide the GM with a clear view of operational cost drivers and financial trade-offs, with recommended actions. \nWorking Capital & Investment \nOwn BU working capital outcomes with Operations and Sales Finance, including inventory levels, aging and obsolescence, and customer terms, against clear targets. \nBuild and challenge business cases for BU capital and organizational investments, andprioritize them against the BU’s returns and capacity needs. \nInnovation & Portfolio \nPartner with Innovation/R&D and Marketing to shape the BU pipeline, advancing ideas based on margin, scale, and strategic fit. \nBuild the financial case for launches (pricing, margin structure, volume, capacity needs, and incremental vs. cannibalized revenue) at the speed Kinder’s innovation model requires. \nRun post-launch reviews against the business case and recommend whether to scale, fix, or exit. \nManage portfolio health, including SKU productivity, complexity cost, and tail rationalization. \nLeadership & Finance Acumen \nBuild financial acumen across the BU leadership teamso every leader understands the P&L impact of their decisions. \nLead and develop BU finance team members where applicable, and model Kinder’s values of integrity, humility, and results. \nHow Success Will Be Measured: \nThe BU delivers its financial commitments (revenue, gross margin, EBITDA, and cash), with finance visibly part of the reason why. \nGaps to plan are caught early and closed through actions finance shaped and drove. \nForecasts are accurateand trusted by the GM, CFO, and corporate leadership. \nInitiatives finance led or co-led deliver measurable value (margin, productivity, trade efficiency, working capital). \nThe GM and BU leaders treat finance as a decision-makerat the table, not a reporting function. \nWhat You Bring to the Table\n10+ years of progressive finance experience, including FP&A and commercial or business-unit finance in CPG, food & beverage, or a comparable consumer products company. \nProven track recordas the lead finance partner to a GM or P&L owner, with clear evidenceof decisions shaped and results delivered, not only analysisproduced. \nDeep fluency in CPG P&L economics: trade and promotional spend, revenue growth management, COGS and standard costing, and working capital. \nExperience with major retail customers and channels, ideally including club and mass (e.g., Walmart, Sam’s Club, Costco). \nStrong driver-based planning and modeling skills; experience with Anaplan, syndicated data (Circana/IRI), and SAPa plus. \nConfident communicator who can influence senior leaders, challengeconstructively, and make a recommendation under ambiguity. \nThrives in a fast-paced, founder-led, high-growth environment; values decision quality and speed over perfection. \nBachelor’s
