About this role

We are looking for a Senior Associate, Finance to own the entire finance function at a fast-growing biotech company digitizing the immune system.

What will you be doing?

• Build and maintain a production cost model to understand the true cost of serving each drug developer customer
• Prepare board packages, investor updates, and fundraising materials
• Manage accounts payable/receivable and oversee the outsourced bookkeeping firm for accuracy
• Take on lateral operations functions as the company scales (supply forecasting, compensation modeling, cap table management)

Key Requirements

• Proven ability to build financial models from scratch (operating models, unit economics, margin analysis)
• Experience managing a month-end close process
• Advanced Excel/Google Sheets proficiency
• Comfortable being hands-on and operating autonomously as the sole finance hire
• High attention to accuracy — must be detail-oriented with numbers and invoices
