Head of Finance

Overview

Founded in 2009, Armadillo is a purpose-driven business committed to making a positive impact both at home and globally. As an Australian brand with showrooms in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Dallas, Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, we create handcrafted rugs that "lie lightly on this earth." Made by artisans in India and Nepal using natural materials and energy-efficient processes, our rugs are designed to last—offering an antidote to today’s throwaway culture.

We are proud to be a certified B Corp, upholding the highest standards in sustainability, social responsibility, and transparency. Giving back is central to our mission, with philanthropic initiatives dating back to 2014—beginning with the KVM School in India and now extending to seven organizations across India, Nepal, Australia, and the United States.

We are equally committed to cultivating a positive and empowering workplace. Armadillo has been certified as a Great Place To Work for the second consecutive year, and we were honored to be named one of Fortune’s 2024 Top 50 Best Small and Medium Workplaces. These recognitions reflect our deep commitment to our people, our culture, and the values that guide us every day.

At Armadillo, integrity guides everything we do. We’re committed to fostering a collaborative, inclusive workplace where people thrive. We celebrate individuality, champion creativity, and believe in the power of a connected team working toward a shared purpose. We’re driven not just by what we create, but by why we create it.

Our people are at the heart of Armadillo’s success. We provide a supportive environment that promotes personal and professional growth for all employees, embracing fair practices, cultural diversity, and well-being. We proudly offer a range of benefits to our team members:

• Comprehensive Health Coverage – Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, and other ancillary benefits.
