Director of FP&A

It's a Perfect Day to change the world! At Perfect Day, we're doing just that.

Perfect Day was founded in 2014 to create delicious, nutritious dairy products that everyone can love. We’re using fermentation (not animals) to make dairy proteins that are the foundation for foods like ice cream, cheese and yogurt – all with the distinctive taste and textures that consumers demand, but without lactose or environmental downsides. Through partnerships with respected brands, we’re working to launch a whole range of dairy products that will help shape a humane, sustainable food system for future generations. 

We are looking for an experienced financial professional with a strong track record in FP&A to join as the Director of FP&A for our Ingredients Business Unit.

You will partner closely with accounting and leaders across the company to deliver accurate financial forecasting and actionable insights.  You will play an integral role in driving value across the business and apply financial expertise to inform Perfect Day’s overall strategy. 

The candidate will exhibit the highest professional standards and ethical principles. Other valued attributes that we are seeking are a strong work ethic, capacity to get things done independently, and consistent performance with a sense of urgency and commitment.
