Manager, Supply Chain Finance - New Product Pipeline

The posting, as Kinder's wrote it

BUILT ON FLAVOR. FUELED BY PEOPLE.

What’s it like to work at Kinder’s? Well, there’s a lot of snacking and geeking out over what we all cooked over the weekend. Beyond that, there’s also plenty of hard work. Because we don’t just like flavor, we’re obsessed with it.

With over 100 products sold nationwide, we’re now a top-five brand in multiple flavor categories at Costco, Walmart, Whole Foods, and more. We’re not your typical CPG company. Privately held and founder-led, we like to think of ourselves as a pirate ship in a sea of cruise ships . Our crew is adventurous and fearless. We chart our own course and chase big ideas to make food unforgettable.

As we expand globally and approach $1 billion in revenue, we need more smart-and-scrappy, flavor-obsessed people to come aboard. If you’re looking for a place where you can see the real impact of your work... this is it! Every day, you’ll be part of a journey to add flavor to millions of meals and lives.

About This Role

At Kinder's, we're passionate about flavor, quality, and creating exceptional food experiences. As our company continues to grow, so does the scale and complexity of our supply chain across co-manufacturing, logistics, and an expanding SKU portfolio.

The Manager, Supply Chain Finance - New Product Pipeline will serve as the finance business partner to Innovation and lead financial support for Kinder's preliminary financial assessment process. This role will bring early visibility to product economics and help cross-functional teams make informed choices as concepts move from idea through commercialization.

Partnering with Product Development, R&D, Brand, Procurement, Co-Manufacturing, and Supply Chain, this manager will coordinate cost targets, proxy development, scenario modeling, and early-stage P&L guidance for new products, reformulations, and pack changes. The role will establish decision-ready economics even when specifications, volumes, or supplier inputs are incomplete.

This position will strengthen financial discipline across the innovation pipeline by creating clear stage-gate expectations, improving cost transparency, and ensuring launch assumptions and risks are understood, approved, and handed off into forecasts and standard costs.

• Own the financial workstream for the preliminary financial assessment process, establishing required inputs, timelines, cost targets, review standards, and approval-ready outputs.
• Develop early-stage product P&Ls, cost proxies, margin ranges, and scenario models using the best available assumptions for formula, packaging, tolling, freight, warehousing, volume, price, and trade.
• Translate concept changes into clear implications for net sales, COGS, gross margin, EBITDA, working capital, and cash flow.
• Identify material assumptions, sensitivities, risks, and information gaps and clearly communicate the confidence level of financial esti

[…]

• We try to be good team members and good communicators, but we don’t live by hierarchy and structure – everyone is a difference maker here.
• We make a lot of decisions in the face of incomplete information – our team embraces ambiguity and tries to make good decisions fast rather than great decisions slow.
• We believe our job is to take smart risk, not to eliminate risk.
• We believe in growing our skills and becoming a better company with more managerial expertise, but we are an entrepreneurial company at heart.
• We aren’t trying to be average – we want to do exceptional things, and we are willing to work hard to achieve them.

BENEFITS THAT BRING MORE TO THE TABLE

We offer a range of total rewards that may include paid time off, 401k, bonus / incentive eligibility, equity grants, competitive health benefits, and other family-friendly benefits, including parental leave. Kinder’s benefits vary based on eligibility and can be reviewed in more detail during the interview process.

OUR RECIPE FOR BALANCE

We believe great culture starts with people. We’re a people-first company built on connection, collaboration, and balance. Most of our work happens in the office to spark creativity and community, but we also offer flexibility so team members have the autonomy to work outside the office when needed to support their work-life balance and personal commitments.
