About the Company
Nobis is a Canadian-founded global performance luxury outerwear brand known for combining technical innovation with refined design. With distribution across North America, Europe, and Asia, Nobis operates through a mix of direct-to-consumer, wholesale, and international partnerships, including a joint venture in Asia.
About the Role
We are hiring a Director of Finance to lead financial strategy and operations across Nobis and the InnoVision Group, its parent company. This role sits at the intersection of global operations, multi-channel growth (DTC and wholesale), and financial discipline. It requires a leader who can balance strategic thinking with rigorous cash flow management and operational efficiency.
As the business continues to evolve across multiple markets and channels, we are focused on strengthening our financial foundation: enhancing visibility, improving cash flow discipline, and ensuring sustainable, profitable growth.
We are looking for someone who doesn’t wait to be asked. You will get close to the business, understand how every team operates, and use that knowledge to turn finance into a true partner in decision-making.
