Strategic Finance Lead
Afresh, the AI platform for grocery, began by tackling the most complex problem in the industry: fresh, and has evolved into the core AI platform for grocers. By leveraging proprietary AI designed for high-volatility environments, we empower partners like Albertsons, Meijer, and Wakefern to drive smarter decisions across their entire enterprise. Following record-breaking 70% revenue growth in 2025, we have scaled to 6 enterprise-grade solutions, with solutions live in over 10% of the U.S. grocery market. Our platform now orchestrates billions of decisions from the store floor to the distribution center and prevented over 200 million pounds of food waste last year alone. If you're looking for a role where your work directly translates into massive scale and social good, and you want to be part of the team that defines how the world eats, there is no better time to join us. About the Role We're looking for a sharp, proactive Strategic Finance Lead to be the beating heart of financial planning and analysis on our Strategy & Finance team. This is a rare build-it role: you'll be our sole dedicated FP&A partner, owning the models, forecasts, and insights that guide decision-making across the company — and reporting directly to the VP of Strategy & Finance.

You'll join a fast-paced, mission-driven Series B environment where your analysis directly informs how leadership allocates capital, sets targets, and places bets.

What You'll Do Own forecasting, budgeting, and long-range planning — build and maintain the financial models that drive the annual budget, quarterly and monthly forecasts, and multi-year strategic plans. Run the planning cycles end to end — partner with department heads to build plans that are both realistic and ambitious, and hold the process together as the single owner of FP&A. Turn results into insight — analyze actuals against budget and forecast, explain the variances, and translate what happened into what we should do next. Define and track the metrics that matter — develop KPIs and build clear, trustworthy dashboards and reporting that tell leadership the truth about performance quickly. Be a true business partner — embed with Sales, Marketing, Product, Engineering, and Operations to support strategic initiatives with financial analysis and a point of view.
