Who We Are
emater is a fast-growing, performance-driven e-commerce company — the parent company behind four DTC brands creating global impact. Based in Miami, with offices in Armenia and Israel and a team spanning the globe, we handle everything in-house from A to Z: operations, marketing, product development, and customer experience.
At emater, we believe that great results come from unity, responsibility, and contribution.
We build together, take responsibility for what we’ve been given, and create real value — for ourselves and for others.
Our work doesn’t stop with us.
What we build reaches beyond our company — to our customers, our partners, and people around the world.
We’re looking for a hands-on Finance Manager to lead finance across our four DTC brands.
You’ll own the close, forecasting, payments, reporting and financial controls. You’ll also improve the systems behind the work, using AI and automation to reduce manual tasks, strengthen reporting and support better decisions.
This is a practical role in a growing business. You’ll report directly to the CEO and be expected to explain clearly what the numbers mean and what the business should do about them.
