Job Description
Headquarters: Austin, Texas, United States
URL: https://www.metabolicliving.com/
We’re a rapidly growing $60MM+ metabolic optimization company (100% remote) seeking a dynamic CFO who loves a high growth DTC environment to complete our next growth capital round and build a world-class financial team in-house. This is an energizing opportunity for a CFO / VP of Finance who excels in both equity and debt capital raising, flourishes at optimizing operational finance and has a proven track record of partnering strategically with business units to increase margins and deliver strong EBITDA. It’s the excitement and energy of a start-up, but with an 11-year track record of de-risking the business. We’ve bootstrapped our way to $220MM in revenue but will need the strong leadership of a savvy CFO to help us achieve our ambitious goal of becoming a billion-dollar revenue brand by 2025.
Hello, my name is Marc Stockman, CEO of Metabolic Living, and I need your help. For the last 11 years we’ve been systematically building different pieces of our MetabolicOS – our ecosystem of offerings that empower people to optimize their metabolism to feel their best, look their best, perform their best and live longer. We’re now weaving these disparate elements together to create a unified experience that combines exercise, nutrition, habit change, supplements, coaching and community. To do that requires we raise capital and elevate our in-house financial expertise, which is where you come in.
What Does the Ideal Candidate Look Like?
You have a robust track record of delivering on both debt and equity capital raises, for DTC, e-commerce, retail, omni-channel companies and bring a robust network of investor/lender contacts. You’re strong at building operational finance teams and have personal expertise in the core areas of FP&A, treasury, tax, inventory control, etc.
You thrive wringing out savings in COGS and OPEX and know how to deploy capital optimally to drive revenue. You’re a systems-oriented thinker who knows how to create a hyper-efficient in-house financial team with experience implementing ERPs and other financial/operational systems to drive efficiencies. You have a strong leadership presence and bring a strategic mindset to pinpoint what strategic investments to make, and which to avoid, bringing a rigorous cost/benefit perspective.
You’re extremely into health, wellness and/or fitness. You love experimenting with new habits, realize how critically important having an optimized daily routine is and simply can’t get enough of this stuff. Perhaps you’ve had a health challenge that got you interested, or you’ve just always been highly passionate about health, wellness and fitness. Either way, your eyes are lighting up at the possibility of aligning your personal passion with your professional superpower.

Who Are We and How Are We Different?
Our mission is simple: make living healthy easier than living unhealthy. We do that by empowering people to fix their own health with our metabolism-first approach and unified ecosystem that powers our MetabolicOS. 3 things make us different than other brands in the health and wellness space:
- Metabolism-First – After 11 years of trial-and-error with 500k+ people, we’ve found optimizing your metabolism delivers the results you want: feeling your best, looking your best, performing your best and living longer. Your metabolism is your inner compass for health, but most people don’t understand how to read it; once you do, it’ll tell you exactly what to do to help you thrive.
- Individualized-Approach – Paleo may work great for one person’s metabolism, Vegan for another, Keto for another, etc. Everyone’s different, so to achieve results that stick, those differences must be respected; if not, things will backfire. That’s why our approach is 100% customized to the individual – there is no perfect program to find, it must be built to support how that specific person’s unique metabolism works. This is where the usual one-size-fits-all solutions fail – they don’t respect our very real individual differences.
- Integrated Ecosystem – It’s simply too hard to live healthy – lots of great individual solutions, but nothing is connected. We’re left to stitch everything together, which is confusing. We simplify everything with an integrated suite of the offerings you need to optimize your metabolism. We started with nutrition, then exercise, then supplements, then coaching and are constantly pulling in new pieces of the health puzzle.
What’s Our Past and Future?
Our company may be a bit confusing at first glance because we built everything organically in reverse, starting with our first nutrition program in 2012, then our first exercise program in 2014 and then launching our full ecosystem of products, including nutraceuticals, functional foods, subscriptions, memberships, 1-on-1 coaching and more. We market these all separately under different DTC websites.
However, now everything’s being centralized under our new brand, Metabolic. We’re launching our flagship e-comm website on Metabolic.com in Q2 and our digital product + e-comm app in Q3. Normally, companies raise money, launch with a brand and then figure out how to make money later. We did that in reverse – creating products that solve specific problems first to bootstrap, scaling that up to fund building out our team and infrastructure, and then retrofitting the brand on top.
