## Job description

Spreetail propels brands to increase their ecommerce market share across the globe while improving their operational costs. Learn how we are building one of the fastest-growing ecommerce companies in history: www.spreetail.com.

Work Your Way: At Spreetail, we believe in empowering our employees to work in the way that suits them best through our Work Your Way approach. Each team member has the flexibility to choose where they work most effectively each week—whether that's from home, a coffee shop, or the office. While flexibility is key, we also value the power of in-person connection. That’s why we bring our corporate team together in Lincoln each quarter for a week of intentional collaboration, team building, community engagement, and our All-Hands meeting. It’s the best of both worlds: the freedom to work your way, with meaningful opportunities to connect and grow together. Please scroll to the bottom of the job posting to confirm that your state qualifies for the Work Your Way program.

What experiences will help you in this role:

- Proven experience partnering directly with Merchandising, Category, or Commercial leadership in a senior operational finance capacity — driving decisions on pricing strategy, promotional effectiveness, assortment planning, and category-level profitability at scale.
- Deep, hands-on expertise in Price, Volume, Mix (PVM) analysis, with a demonstrated ability to build PVM models from the ground up, isolate business drivers, and translate complex financial mechanics into a narrative that shapes executive-level decisions.
- Extensive SQL expertise — writing complex, performant queries independently against large transactional datasets (Snowflake or equivalent) to build financial models and dashboards without reliance on data engineering support. This is core to the role, not a nice-to-have.
- Track record owning end-to-end financial support for new SKU, brand, or assortment launches — including forecasting, margin modeling, cannibalization analysis, and post-launch performance measurement across multiple concurrent launches.
- Experience evaluating marketing spend and incrementality, partnering with Marketing and FP&A leadership to assess ROI, trade-offs, and downstream impacts to demand, margin, and inventory position.

How you will achieve success:

- Bring a strong foundation in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or Data Analytics, paired with the analytical horsepower to independently untangle ambiguous, high-stakes business questions and deliver precise, decision-ready insights.
- Apply 7–10+ years of progressive experience in financial analysis, FP&A, or merchandising finance — retail or ecommerce exposure strongly preferred — operating with the autonomy expected at a Principal level.
- Demonstrate advanced, daily fluency in SQL and Snowflake to extract and manipulate complex, large-scale datasets, alongside strong Power BI and advanced Excel skills to build automated, scalable reporting infrastructure.
- Lead in-depth financial modeling, PVM analysis, and scenario planning to surface margin improvement, inventory efficiency, and category profitability levers — often defining the analytical approach rather than following a template.
- Operate as a thought partner to senior Merchandising and Finance stakeholders, communicating data-dense findings with clarity, driving cross-functional alignment, and proactively identifying where deeper analysis is needed.

In an effort to Make Spreetail Better, we hire people that are aligned with our values and are passionate about pursuing ecommerce excellence. We believe the right person can learn what is needed to succeed in their role, so we encourage job applicants to apply even if you don't meet all the qualifications listed. We are looking for diverse backgrounds and perspectives, so we don’t require college degrees and welcome non-linear career paths. If this role highlights your experience and gets you excited – please apply!

What you can expect from us:

- We provide the flexibility to take care of yourself. Spreetail operates in a work culture that promotes results and encourages taking time off when needed. In addition to a generous vacation policy, we also offer paid time-off for your wedding week, paid parental leave and support for parents of growing families.
- We celebrate accomplishments. Each year at Spreetail is a milestone with the opportunity to receive special gifts, swag store credit, or donations to a nonprofit of your choice. We also recognize people pursuing impacts with Spreetail Spotlight Awards.
- We care about your Health & Wellness. Spreetail works hard to enhance the employee experience through benefit programs and perks that provide meaningful support. We offer affordable medical, dental and vision plans with coast-to-coast coverage. We also provide free telehealth and on-demand mental health resources.
- We create the opportunity to revolutionize your community. We encourage Spreetailers to give back and make a social impact, and we offer paid time off to do it.

- **Entity Type**: Private (Private Equity-backed; last round: Series Unknown / PE Round of $208M led by McCarthy Capital in February 2023)
- **Headquarters**: Lincoln, Nebraska, United States
- **Founded**: 2006
- **Founders**: Not publicly named; company started on credit card debt and a dream

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Ecommerce / Retail / Supply Chain & Logistics

- **Mission statement**: “Be the most brand-centric company in the world.”

Includes in-house customer service (20/7, 365 days) and returns handling.
- **Smart Shelf (Technology Platform)**: Proprietary software that gives brand partners full transparency into delivery speed, pricing, listing optimization, and incrementality – helping drive data-informed decisions.
- **Advertising Services**: Full-funnel marketplace advertising campaign management (launch, optimize, share insights) with no management fees.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Focus on durable goods (big-and-bulky)**: A category most fulfillment networks handle poorly – Spreetail built its entire model around it.
