Manager, Commercial Finance

New York, NY  - Full time

ABOUT BARK 

Here at BARK, we love dogs & their people. Were looking to make all dogs happy throughout the entire world (were not kidding). Think Disney for dogs -- we make magic for dogs & their people through our products, events, & experiences.

Our ambition level is high, the opportunity is huge, & our love for dogs is through the roof! We launched in 2011 with BarkBox, a monthly-themed subscription of all-natural treats & clever toys. Since then, we've shipped more than 70 million toys & treats to dogs across the world & use all of that direct customer feedback to inform new initiatives & ways to make magic between dogs & their people. Weve since expanded into other offerings as well, as we aim to become THE Dog Company for every family with a four-legged, belly-scratch-loving, interspecies family member.

The Commercial Finance team partners with Barks business units to analyze historical financial trends, forecast revenue & KPIs, & implement strategic initiatives to improve business  performance. Every day you'll collaborate with stakeholders across the organization to review financial performance & to update rolling forecasts on an ongoing basis. Basically, we ensure the company is always on track to meeting (or beating!) its goals so we can make ALL dogs happy.
