The Girlboss mission is to redefine success for millennial women by providing the tools and resources they need to own their futures. We aim to create a new reality where women can make progress personally, professionally, and in service of others. Powering growth through community, we're building a Noah's Ark of the most interesting and ambitious women in the world—powered by digital content, technology, a podcast network, and experiential activations.

Founded by serial entrepreneur Sophia Amoruso, the Girlboss brand was born from the book that inspired a generation of women to take action in their own lives. In May of 2014, Sophia's book #GIRLBOSS skyrocketed onto the New York Times Bestseller list and stayed there—for nearly 20 weeks. Netflix has since adapted the story as a scripted comedy created and written by Kay Cannon.  Today, we have a small but brilliant team of editors, creatives, and digital media professionals working to build something that's never been built before: a community, a content platform, merchandise, and a in real life experiences that help launch women on their unique paths.  

What we are creating: Girlboss is a community of strong, curious, and ambitious women redefining success on our own terms. We hope to inform, entertain, and inspire action through the content and experiences we create. We are unapologetic in our beliefs and values of supporting girls and women who are chasing dreams both big and small in a shame-free, lame-free zone.

About the Role: We are looking for a strategic-minded, analytical thought partner to shepherd best-in-class financial management and operating efficiency as we enter our next phase of hyper growth. As a key member of our team reporting to our CEO, you will lead long-range financial planning and reporting, strategic finance, budgeting, forecasting in partnership with our CRO and COO, in addition to managing treasury operations, tax, and regular cross-department financial analytics. You will be responsible for working with the CRO and COO to create inventory forecasts, to create margin calls and to support on various business models to support business development and company development opportunities. The right person has a results-oriented perspective that is always looking at creative ways to problem solve and create better metrics based off of the company’s KPIs, and someone that sees both the big picture and appreciates execution in its finer details. She or he can thrive in a fast-paced culture where a “never settle” attitude is paramount and a constant improvement mindset is required, but she or he doesn’t take themselves too seriously.
