Are you a CPG finance guru who wants to help a burgeoning start up brand by bringing financial acumen and rigor to the table? Do you want to get Craize-y?

• Has excellent analytical, verbal, and communication skills

• A collaborator and partner who is eager to bring a new perspective

• Is able to think critically and creatively

• Enjoys working in small, cross-functional teams in a fast-paced start-up environment

• Eye for detail – not only are you meticulous about your work product, but you also understand how to organize yourself and manage your time in order to meet deadlines and goals.
