The Opportunity 

We are seeking a dynamic VP of Finance & Strategy to join our executive team. Founded and led by Tovah Haim, a former buyout private equity investor and CFO/head of strategy for companies like Daily Harvest, Blue Apron, and Ralph Lauren, Bodily represents a unique opportunity for an ambitious finance leader.

This role is ideal for candidates with a private equity or investment banking background looking to be mentored into the VP of Finance & Strategy seat by someone who has made that exact transition, or for exceptional candidates who have experience leading strategic finance and managing the complexities of companies with physical products. You will oversee accounting, finance, and corporate strategy, with a focus on providing the analyses and insights that drive executive decision-making and the future direction of Bodily.

You will also own forecasting, prediction, and data insights to inform key decisions, and will lead the creation of board materials, playing a central role with investors and in board meetings. This person will partner closely with the founder, playing a key position in the company’s decision-making. The founder understands the heft this person brings to the table, giving them room to run, and speaks the same strategic language—creating a unique space for a high-performing finance leader. There is also an opportunity for the right person to grow into, and beyond the CFO role.
