Strategic Finance Manager, Temp

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!).

YOUR IMPACT

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
