Role
Who you are
- A seasoned finance professional. You have 7-10 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, or corporate development, with deep expertise in M&A execution, financial modeling, and transaction structuring. Wide ranging transaction experience is a requirement
- Experienced in capital markets. You have worked on equity raises, debt financings, and/or IPO preparation, including hands-on experience with S-1 drafting and external financing documents
- A strong external communicator. You have owned investor-facing materials — management presentations, investor decks, positioning documents — and are comfortable translating complex financial analysis into clear executive narratives. You are a good storyteller
- A trusted partner to senior leadership. You work well on cross functional projects and are comfortable operating at the CFO and CEO level on a daily basis
- Highly autonomous and accountable. At this level, you operate almost entirely independently — you spot gaps, preempt problems, and drive work from idea to execution without being asked. You are the clear point of accountability for your work with all internal and external stakeholders
- Strategic and deeply analytical. You set strategy and get buy-in on big decisions. You scope work that has company-wide implications, execute at a high level of quality and speed, and are never satisfied with the status quo
- A creative problem-solver with resilience. You navigate complex, ambiguous situations with calm and focus. You take calculated risks and build new approaches when things don’t go as planned
- Direct and humble. You share a POV when you have one and know when to listen. You give and receive feedback openly, in all directions, and demonstrate genuine trust and respect for cross-functional partners

Our take
Harry's shot onto the scene in 2012 with the simple idea of great razors at fair prices. And at a time when buying blades felt like taking out a small loan, Harry's built a direct-to-consumer brand that made men's shaving feel modern and affordable. So, what started as an online upstart quickly grew into a serious player, landinow on the shelves of major retailers and one of the best known names in men's grooming.
The road hasn't been entirely smooth as in 2020, a planned billion-dollar sales to Edgewell Personal Care (the owner of brands like Schnik) was blocked by the Federal Trade Commission on competition grounds. At the time, this looks like a major setback, however, it have Harry's the room to keep building on its own terms. Instead of folding into a legacy giant, the company doubled down on growth, raised fresh capital and continued to expand its reach in retail and product lines.
Now, the company isn't just a small startup taking on the razor establishment. It has broadened its grooming range well beyond blade, built a loyal customer base, and proved it can compete both online and in-store. What began as a challenger brand has evolved into a mainstay of the men's personal care aisle.
