Position: Associate Finance Manager, Customer Finance

Team: Finance

Reporting To: Finance Manager, Commercial Canada

Location: Toronto, Canada

Founded in 2013, we are a Canadian-based, globally operating business. A family-owned, values-led company, we seek to leave the world better than we found it. As a member of our team, we offer an environment where you can chart your own path to success while helping us achieve ours.

Like you, we believe mountains are worth climbing. Our next expedition is to double our business by 2028. Yours is to reach your own highest elevation. We also believe anything worth doing is worth doing right, so our values guide our way no matter how rugged the terrain – and at times, it will get tough. So, lace up your boots and let's ascend together.

Position Summary:

As the Associate Finance Manager, Customer Finance, you will play a critical leadership role to the Canada Commercial team, in achieving its strategic and financial goals. You will serve as a strategic business partner to the Commercial team, delivering forward-thinking financial guidance to drive profitable net sales growth. Your role includes supporting customer growth initiatives, managing sales and trade spend planning, tracking market trends, and providing actionable insights to shape future strategies.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Act as a strategic financial partner to cross-functional Sales leaders, providing analysis and guidance to drive profitable growth and optimize trade investments.
• Support Sales initiatives with customers, including Go-To-Market plans, Joint Business Plans, new product launches, category presentations, and sales programs.
• Lead monthly Trade Reviews with KAMs and Sales leadership, analyzing trade spend performance, identifying key drivers, and developing action plans to capture opportunities and mitigate risks.
• Evaluate and enhance trade spend strategies through ROI analysis, financial scenario modeling, and oversight of incremental funding requests.
• Lead financial planning processes on Trade for the Canadian Commercial Team, including quarterly forecasting and annual planning, aligning short-term tactics with long-term growth strategies.
• Create and deliver executive-level presentations with strategic insights, performance analysis, and recommendations, highlighting key risks and opportunities.
• Develop and implement trade policies and processes aligned with business goals, while driving process improvements and leading the adoption of new systems and tools across teams.

Key Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in business, Finance, or Accounting, and 5+ years of experience in financial performance management and analysis—ideally within consumer-packaged goods, including gross sales and trade spend. CPA-designated preferred.
• Proven ability to uncover and communicate retail trends and insights to influence cross-functional decision-making.
• Strong analytical, financial modeling, and Excel skills, with keen attention to detail and a solutions-oriented, proactive mindset.
• Trusted thought partner with strong collaboration, communication, and leadership skills, able to work independently and present confidently to senior leadership.
• Effective at managing multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced, dynamic, and ambiguous environment.

What we expect:

• Values-led: You'll be a member of a thoughtful and compassionate team that prioritizes respect, teamwork and resourcefulness along with a good dash of fun. Sometimes, even making granola bars is hard, and life's too short to take ourselves so seriously that we don't enjoy the journey.
• Unparalleled experiences and opportunities : We're still determining who we are and what we can be. Help us shape what this organization will look like and what we'll offer the world, into the future. This means rolling up your sleeves and sometimes building the process – fast! – while employing it. At Riverside, progress occasionally means proceeding imperfectly, and we're okay with that, as long as we're staying true to our values and learning and improving along the way.
• Access to everyone: We're a flat organization with few silos which means you'll have full access to everyone from our founders to our production staff. Even when employees dress up, they wear steel-toed shoes. So don't be shy. Speak up, share your ideas and go places you normally wouldn't – like the plant, or the boardroom.
• Personal development : We'll support and empower you to chart your own path and reach any heights you set for yourself. Career paths at Riverside are carved by the people walking on them, not dictated by leaders. Count on us to give you the training and tools to grow and progress.
• Gratitude : As a growing business, we can't always offer formal recognition like awards programs, but we do show our true gratitude and appreciation. At Riverside, we're all in this together and we value you.

What We Offer:

• Values-led: We don't cut corners or step on anyone or anything on our way to our summit. There is no winning at all costs here. Every step you take must align with our values, no compromises.
• Courageous determination: As a family-run, rapidly growing business, we are often challenged to find ways to deliver that aren't obvious or easy. You must be willing to try, ask and answer challenging questions, test and learn, turn over every stone, keep moving forward and help us find a way through. Resourcefulness and grit will be your constant companions at Riverside and will serve you well.
• Humility: We're a small (but growing) fish in a sea of whales and sharks. We know the products we offer are some of the healthiest and most sustainable, but we don't brag about it, and know we have a steep path ahead. We pride ourselves in being respectful and supportive of others while shining brightly through our innovative, high-quality products. There isn't one superstar at Riverside. We take turns leading the way as we climb to the summit.
• Continuous improvement: As a learn-as-we-go organization, we rely on each other to continuously improve everything we touch to make it better, more efficient, more sustainable, and more endearing to customers, consumers, employees, vendors, partners and the community. We own our mistakes and learn from them as we wind our way to the top.

Wait! There's more!

• Immerse yourself in our comprehensive benefits program, with Riverside taking care of the costs!
• RRSP matching or 401k matching for an empowered financial journey
• Join Employee-Led Resource Groups (ERGs) championing mental health, sustainability, diversity, women, and LGBTQ+ rights
• Develop your career further through our Riverside University program and with our Tuition Reimbursement Program
• An open concept work environment that embodies our Values
