About Peak Design

The purpose of Peak Design is to create happy, meaningful lives for the people that work here. We believe this purpose can only be achieved when self-actualizing, highly stoked people enthusiastically step into (or log onto) the Peak Design office every day. Our purpose and our mission go hand-in-hand and we encourage and celebrate authenticity and the unique perspective each of our employees brings. We’re a close-knit team that thrives on mutual respect and the belief that every voice matters—especially when it’s got something interesting to say.
 
We make radical, meticulously-engineered gear for detail-obsessed people. Our backpacks, travel bags, camera gear, and phone accessories are used dang-near everywhere. If you’ve visited Machu Picchu, Tokyo, or an REI store in the last 10 years, you’ve been within ogling distance of a Peak Design product.
 
Alongside our award-winning gear is a brand that truly reflects who we are as people—passionate about design, deeply caring about our environmental and social impact, unafraid to speak up, radically transparent, and generally down to clown. Whether we’re explaining a product, running a sale, launching a nonprofit, sponsoring a film, or razzing the biggest company on Earth, we do it with our trademark honesty, warmth, and wit. Through our products and our brand, we aim to create delight, and leave this world better than how we found it.

About the job

You aren't just crunching numbers; you’re the navigator of our financial North Star. As our Senior FP&A Manager, you possess a rare blend of high-level fiscal strategy and the technical chops to build the engines that power it. Your mission is to translate our wild ambitions into sustainable financial models, ensuring that as we grow, we stay profitable, agile, and ready for whatever the global economy throws at us. You’ll be a direct report to the CFO and a key advisor to the leadership team, working across every department to keep our financial health running smoother than a jazz saxophonist on a Friday night.

What you'll do:

  • Own long-range financial planning, building dynamic models that turn “what if?” into clear, actionable decisions
  • Partner closely with Sales, Marketing, Product, and Ops to evaluate ideas, pressure-test assumptions, and clarify true ROI
  • Lead budgeting and forecasting with rigor and clarity, maintaining an accurate, no-surprises view of performance
  • Dive deep into financials and KPIs, connecting the dots and telling the story behind the numbers to drive decisions
  • Build and refine dashboards, reporting tools, and models that provide real-time visibility into performance
  • Partner with Finance and Ops leadership to manage cash, optimize OpEx, and ensure disciplined, efficient growth
  • Lead financial evaluation of new product categories, channel expansions, and strategic initiatives to prioritize investment
  • Model and respond to macroeconomic shifts (tariffs, inflation, FX) to keep the business agile
  • Develop a deep understanding of cost structure, identifying opportunities to improve margins through vendor negotiations, logistics optimization, and pricing insights

Role requirements

  • 5 years of experience in FP&A, Corporate Finance, or Investment Banking. Experience in high-growth consumer goods or e-commerce is a plus.
  • You possess excellent communication skills with the uncanny ability to explain complex financial engineering to "normal humans" without making their eyes glaze over.
  • Highly proficient in excel and building automated financial models. If a process is manual, you feel a physical need to automate it and you’re not afraid to have AI help you do it.
  • A true appreciation for the elegance of a perfectly balanced sheet and the intellectual curiosity to dig into why a decimal point moved.
  • Advanced experience with NetSuite (or similar ERPs)
  • A keen eye for macroeconomic trends and the grit to tell us when a project doesn't make financial sense (even if the CEO really wants it)

Nice-to-haves 

  • Experience working closely with hardware, manufacturing, or supply chain teams (inventory planning, COGS modeling, landed cost analysis)
  • Familiarity with global logistics, tariffs, and demand planning in a physical product business
  • Experience modeling and optimizing unit economics across owned channels (Shopify, Amazon, retail partners)
  • Experience evaluating pricing, promotions, and product lifecycle profitability
  • Genuine enthusiasm for design, photography, travel, or the outdoors
  • Someone who enjoys being in-office, collaborating, and contributing to a strong team culture

A day in the life:

  • Grab a coffee from our favorite coffeeshop downstairs and head up to our beautiful, sunny HQ in the Dogpatch. Catch up with coworkers in the kitchen where any number of fresh baked goods or treats wait to tickle your tastebuds.
  • You'll start by reviewing the latest revenue and spend reports. Does the burn match the plan? Are we seeing margin compression in specific channels?
  • Meet with the Head of Marketing or Product to stress-test the financial assumptions of a new launch. You’re the bridge between "big ideas" and "bottom-line reality."
  • If it’s Tuesday, take a break and enjoy lunch with the team on us!
  • Spend a few hours in the "modeling cave," refining our rolling 12-month forecast or building out a new dashboard for the Leadership team.
  • Log off for the day and enjoy some time away from the screen. Perhaps that’s a post-work team bike ride or impromptu team pickleball game, or spending quality time with friends and family.

Salary Range

  • $110,000 - $170,000 USD
  • In addition to base salary, this role is eligible for a performance-based bonus
  • Compensation will vary based on geographic location and level. Leveling, as well as positioning within a level, is determined by a range of factors, including, but not limited to, a candidate's relevant years of experience, domain knowledge, and interview performance. The salary range listed in this posting is representative of the range of levels Peak Design is considering for this position.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging

At Peak Design we believe a diverse team is an innovative team and something worth celebrating. A range of perspectives and backgrounds creates a stronger and more creative work environment (not to mention more fun). We’re committed to equality and inclusivity across race, gender, age, religion, identity, and experience.

Some candidates may see a long list of job requirements and feel discouraged because they don’t match every single bullet point – we strongly encourage you to apply anyway! If what we do resonates with you, and you feel excited and able to contribute, we’re equally stoked for the opportunity to engage with you.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
