Role: VP - Finance & Planning
Employment Type: Full-time
Location: Boulder, CO
Reports To: CEO
Compensation Range: $145,000 to $170,000 base salary annually depending on experience, plus Bonus opportunities
Job Description:
The VP of Finance & Planning is responsible for setting the strategy and leading the tactical execution of all the finance, accounting, HR, administration and operations planning aspects at Skratch Labs. While finance, accounting, HR and administration all typically fall into the “finance” department at most companies, at Skratch Labs, we also include supply / demand planning, vendor management, product sourcing and new product project management as part of this department. You will be managing a very talented team of three full-time employees and one independent contractor to cover all these responsibilities. Also, as the leader of the Finance & Planning department, this position is an integral part of the executive management team and plays a critical part in setting and achieving short-term goals as well as longer-term objectives.
About Us:
Voted one of Outside Magazine’s Best Places To Work in 2020, Skratch Labs is a consumer products company in the outdoor space with a cutting edge approach to athlete nutrition, founded by two pro cycling veterans who started mixing performance drink mixes with simple ingredients for the pros in hardware store buckets over 9 years ago. Since then, we’ve built an amazing following of impassioned athletes and we’re growing fast, but we always need help getting the word out! We believe food and drink are just better when made from scratch and we also believe that no matter where we find ourselves in life, it’s never too late to start from scratch. We use our heads and our hearts in everything we do. Our goal is to help athletes perform better. Our brand and our team stand for being real, being supportive, and being fun. If you’re inspired by athletes and our story, and you think you’d thrive in a start-up environment full of dogs, bicycle posters, shenanigans, hard work, and the occasional lunchtime knock-out (basketball) game, this could be the place for you.
About You:
I am an experienced finance professional but I also consider myself to be an operational executive. I am comfortable wearing multiple hats and understanding all different parts of a business. I set a high standard for accurate work and my attention to detail is exemplary. I am capable of employing imaginative thought to situations and problem solving and am open to new processes and solutions. I am a good communicator both internally and externally. I want nothing more than to join an emerging brand with an amazing small company culture in the shadows of the Flatirons and be a part of a team that will lead the company in hitting its goals.

• Be a key and contributing member of the Skratch Labs Leadership Team which defines overall company strategy and goals
