VP, FP&A

Since 1935, we’ve been on a mission to bring a little extra happiness to everyday life and inspire connections over food. We select the finest ingredients the world has to offer, craft premium products made with love, and never settle for shortcuts. We believe that when we share our food, we share a part of ourselves —and that’s the only way we’d put our name on it.

Today, our small family company has grown into a national leader in specialty olives, peppers, and sauces under the leadership of CEO Jeff Mezzetta, and our commitment to quality has never wavered. With an80-year legacy behind us and a bright future ahead, we’re seeking passionate, driven candidates to help us bring our cherished family traditions to a new generation.

• Crunchy Crunchy:
  We are hungry for excellence.
• Own It:
  We think and act as an owner – with appetite, initiative, and responsibility.
• Connection:
  We build authentic relationships that foster trust and open communications.
• Vibrance:
  We come to work eager and passionate about fulfilling our vision.
  
  When we share our work, we share a part of who we are.

Mezzetta is on an exciting path to deliver long-term growth through multiple growth engines, including product innovation, customer and US regional expansion, new channels, and new markets. To power that journey, we are searching for a strategic VP, Business Planning & Analysis, who turns insight into action and helps our teams, and our business, make bigger, smarter bets.

Reporting to the CFO and serving as her right hand, this leader will own the strategic financial agenda for the company: long-range planning, the enterprise financial model, the forecasting and planning operating rhythm, executive and board reporting, and the analysis behind our most important investment, growth, and profitability decisions. This role is a critical complement to our accounting function, which owns the financial record, controls, and close;

together, the two form a complete Finance leadership team, pairing a trusted view of where we have been with a clear view of where we are going.

Growth at this pace creates big questions, and this leader will sit at the center of answering them. Where should we invest next? How do we deliver sustainable profitable growth? Which launches, channels, and markets will create the most value? When the Executive Team debates the company's biggest decisions, your analysis will drive the conversation.

This is a builder's seat at a growing, family-owned CPG company, where your impact will be visible from the boardroom to the store shelf. You will shape how the company plans, measures, and decides, and you will build the team, systems, and disciplines that turn strategy into results.

How we do that work matters as much as the results. Our Core Ingredients are who we are:
Crunchy Crunchy, Own It, Connection, and Vibrance. They shape how we work, and we are building on them with real intention as we grow. We are looking for a leader who will embrace them, model them, and bring them into how we operate every day. If you are energized by ownership, impact, and building something that lasts at a family-owned brand, this is the role for you.

You will split your time between our Larkspur and American Canyon offices in the beautiful North Bay, with flexibility to be where the teams and priorities are.

• Lead the long-range planning process, translating company strategy into multi-year financial plans and resource priorities.
• Own the enterprise financial model as a living decision tool for growth, profitability, capital allocation, and scenario planning.
• Partner with the CFO and…
