Director, Supply Chain Finance

BUILT ON FLAVOR.  FUELED BY PEOPLE.

What’s it like to work at Kinder’s? Well, there’s a lot of snacking and geeking out over what we all cooked over the weekend. Beyond that, there’s also plenty of hard work. Because we don’t just like flavor, we’re obsessed with it.     

With over 100 products sold nationwide, we’re now a top-five brand in multiple flavor categories at Costco, Walmart, Whole Foods, and more. We’re not your typical CPG company. Privately held and founder-led, we like to think of ourselves as a pirate ship in a sea of cruise ships. Our crew is adventurous and fearless. We chart our own course and chase big ideas to make food unforgettable.  

As we expand globally and approach $1 billion in revenue, we need more smart-and-scrappy, flavor-obsessed people to come aboard. If you’re looking for a place where you can see the real impact of your work... this is it! Every day, you’ll be part of a journey to add flavor to millions of meals and lives. 

About This Role:

At Kinder’s, we’re passionate about flavor, quality, and creating exceptional food experiences. As our company continues to grow, so does the scale and complexity of our supply chain across co-manufacturing, logistics, and an expanding SKU portfolio.

The Director of Supply Chain Finance will serve as the strategic FP&A leader embedded within Supply Chain. This role strengthens and scales the financial processes, insights, and decision frameworks that support our operations. It goes beyond reporting — delivering rigorous planning, analysis, and actionable insights that improve performance and enable sound decision-making.

Operating in a fast-moving and evolving environment, this leader will enhance budgeting, forecasting, and reporting processes while guiding decisions made with imperfect information. The role partners closely with Supply Chain and Operations leadership and represents supply chain financial insights in collaboration with the Vice President of FP&A.

This position plays a critical role in balancing service, cost, margin, and working capital to ensure supply chain decisions support the company’s long-term financial health and strategic priorities — not simply short-term cost performance.

Key Responsibilities Include:

Financial Leadership & Business Partnership

• Serve as the primary finance partner to Supply Chain, Operations, and Procurement leadership.


• Represent supply chain financial performance and insights to senior leadership in partnership with the Vice President of FP&A.


• Translate operational metrics into financial outcomes, connecting service levels, inventory, productivity, and cost drivers to EBITDA and cash flow.


• Strengthen and scale budgeting, forecasting, and reporting processes specific to supply chain operations.


• Operate effectively in ambiguous and evolving environments where financial structures continue to mature and decisions must be made with imperfect information.


• Provide structured financial perspectives on trade-offs across service, cost, margin, and capital efficiency.


• Lead fact-based discussions and constructively challenge assumptions to improve decision quality and business outcomes.

Cost Management & Margin Improvement

• Own COGS and supply chain cost performance management, including management reporting and analysis across materials, labor, overhead, freight, warehousing, and co-manufacturing.


• Identify and lead financial analysis that supports structural margin improvement initiatives in partnership with Operations and Procurement.


• Evaluate sourcing strategies, network decisions, SKU rationalization, and capacity investments using disciplined financial modeling and scenario analysis.


• Balance short-term cost performance with long-term economic feasibility and enterprise priorities.


• Partner with R&D and Brand on new product costing, reformulations, and pack changes to ensure strong financial foundations from launch through lifecycle management.


• Support disciplined working capital management, ensuring inventory investments are economically justified and aligned with growth objectives.

Budgeting, Forecasting & Reporting

• Lead annual budget and rolling forecast processes for Supply Chain.


• Embed financial rigor into S&OP / IBP processes through scenario modeling and sensitivity analysis.


• Develop KPIs and dashboards that clearly connect operational performance to financial outcomes.


• Deliver forward-looking insights on variances, risks, and opportunities — not just retrospective reporting.


• Help establish financial guardrails that balance service levels, inventory investment, and cash flow sustainability.

Procurement & Vendor Economics

• Partner with Procurement on supplier negotiations, cost breakdowns, and should-cost analysis.


• Support risk management related to commodities, tariffs, and supply disruption through structured financial analysis.


• Ensure sourcing decisions align with margin objectives, service expectations, and capital efficiency.

Team Leadership

• Build, develop, and lead a high-performing supply chain finance team.


• Establish strong financial rigor, standard processes, and clear accountability.

Skills & Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field.


• 10+ years of progressive finance experience, with significant exposure to supply chain or operations finance.


• Experience in Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) or similarly inventory-intensive, high-volume businesses.


• Demonstrated ability to translate operational drivers into actionable financial insights.


• Experience operating in high-growth or evolving environments where processes were strengthened or scaled.


• Strong understanding of COGS, inventory management economics, and working capital.


• Proven ability to partner cross-functionally and influence senior leaders.


• Experience with co-manufacturing, 3PLs, and complex SKU portfolios.


• Familiarity with ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite) and planning tools.


• Experience supporting S&OP / IBP processes.


• Strong communication skills and executive presence appropriate for regular interaction with senior leadership.

Pay Transparency:

The expected starting salary range for this role is $195,000- $225,000 per year. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range based on the location of the role. The amount a particular employee will earn within the salary range will be based on factors such as relevant education, qualifications, performance and business needs.

SEASONED FOR SUCCESS:

• No two days here are the same. 


• We try to be good team members and good communicators, but we don’t live by hierarchy and structure – everyone is a difference maker here. 


• We make a lot of decisions in the face of incomplete information – our team embraces ambiguity and tries to make good decisions fast rather than great decisions slow. 


• We believe our job is to take smart risk, not to eliminate risk. 


• We believe in growing our skills and becoming a better company with more managerial expertise, but we are an entrepreneurial company at heart. 


• We aren’t trying to be average – we want to do exceptional things, and we are willing to work hard to achieve them. 

BENEFITS THAT BRING MORE TO THE TABLE:

We offer a range of total rewards that may include paid time off, 401k, bonus / incentive eligibility, equity grants, competitive health benefits, and other family-friendly benefits, including parental leave. Kinder’s benefits vary based on eligibility and can be reviewed in more detail during the interview process.  

OUR RECIPE FOR BALANCE:

We believe great culture starts with people. We’re a people-first company built on connection, collaboration, and balance. Most of our work happens in the office to spark creativity and community, but we also offer flexibility so team members have the autonomy to work outside the office when needed to support their work-life balance and personal commitments.
