Director of Finance (Remote) | LATAM

About Us

HireHawk connects exceptional global talent with career opportunities at ambitious U.S. and Canadian companies. For this role, we are supporting a confidential client that advises founder-led consumer and retail brands from startup through scale and M&A. This is a strong fit for someone who wants sophisticated finance work, direct exposure to senior operators, and the autonomy to make a visible impact across multiple brands.

As Director of Finance, you will serve as the analytical and operational backbone of a senior finance advisory pod supporting multiple CPG, DTC, retail, and consumer brands. You will own financial modeling, forecasting, reporting, KPI infrastructure, and executive-ready analysis so senior finance leaders can focus on strategic planning, capital allocation, and founder advisory. This is a highly visible role where you will work closely with CFO-level leaders, client executives, and cross-functional teams across marketing, supply chain, operations, and leadership. The right person will bring the technical depth of investment banking or advanced FP&A, combined with the judgment and communication skills to guide real business decisions.
