## Description

**Role and Responsibilities:**

The Strategic Finance Associate will play a key role in driving strategic financial decisions across David, Epogee, HallPass, Rowdy and each new brand Medici launches, leveraging expertise related to finance, strategic planning, and data-driven analysis to support the company’s growth. You will also contribute to corporate development initiatives, including capital raising, M&A activities, and investor relations. You will work closely with the VP of Finance and the Strategic Finance team, with direct exposure to Medici leadership and investors.

-   Support new Medici brands at launch and as they grow, building early financial planning infrastructure and advising brand leadership on key decisions.

-   Act as a central point of contact and enablement for brand and functional teams on key planning initiatives and ROI analyses, informing capital allocation decisions across the portfolio.
