About the Role

Hi, we're Nuts.com! Nuts.com is a self-funded, profitable, rapidly growing multi-channel DTC specialty food and wellness company with over 550 people on our team. We're changing the landscape of snacking on nuts, dried fruit, chocolate and more! We planted our roots in Newark, New Jersey during the Great Depression, selling premium nuts on Mulberry Street's open-air market. We've come quite a long way since then, taking our multi-generational family business online in 1999. Even after 97 years, we continue to pride ourselves in expertly sourcing the highest quality foods and treating our customers like family. What's our team like? We're driven, collaborative and entrepreneurial. Energy and passion power our business and we look for candidates who share in that excitement to help us continue to build something special. The role: The FP&A Manager is a senior individual contributor responsible for owning financial insights and decision support across key commercial and operational domains at Nuts.com. This role sits at the intersection of DTC commercial finance, ecommerce marketing analytics, and manufacturing / supply chain economics. The ideal candidate is deeply analytical but fundamentally business-minded, someone who understands how pricing, promotions, marketing spend, production costs, and operational constraints translate into contribution margin, cash flow, and profitability. This is a hands-on role in a fast-moving, high-SKU consumer business. You will be expected to go deep, move quickly, and influence outcomes.
