Who is Manmade?

We’re a Montreal-based online retailer of premium quality essentials, known particularly so far for our men’s boxer briefs. We have been aggressively growing since launching in 2021, and the brand is truly at a turning point to becoming a household name in Canada, and already growing in parallel in the US market.

Who is Manmade looking for?

An experienced CPA based in Montreal that is looking for an exciting change to take on a unique challenge with tremendous opportunity to grow within a thriving and financially healthy organization.

Ideally you have about 10+ years experience in FP&A, and ideally within a related industry (i.e. apparel, retail, and/or ecommerce).

As the Director of Finance, you will be working directly with the 4 Co-Founders of the Company. You will also have the opportunity to build the accounting team, and establish processes and structure.

Is this for you?

We are growing so rapidly so things are changing so quickly and an in-house presence is required. At this time, we can’t accommodate any “remote” or “hybrid” type of work arrangements. We do have flexibility with working hours, and we are understanding to work things out with your personal / family commitments.

You should be resourceful, and an intrapreneur. In other words, you will have the flexibility to execute with autonomy and minimal oversight. You shouldn’t be someone who is afraid to get in the trenches and do the nitty gritty things yourself for a period of time until we get to the point where it makes sense to hire someone to do it for you.

What else are we offering?

Aside from a competitive compensation package, the opportunity in itself is what you make of it. With the company growing 300%+ year over year for the past 3 years, and with expected growth to continue at that pace for the next 2-3 years, there will be many different ways to grow within the company as it enters new markets, channels, and so on.

We offer extended health and dental benefits, 100% fully paid by the employer. We offer catered lunches every day and all the snacks, drinks, coffee, and fruit you could want.

Even though we’re a fast growing company, your work-life balance will not be compromised as long as you can meet expectations within your work hours. There isn’t any red-tape, or levels of seniority - you’re getting in at the ground floor.

If you do have any questions, please send an email or DM to Roberto Rebelo - berto@manmadebrand.com
