Position Overview

The Senior Director, FP&A owns the corporate financial model, the long-range plan, and the analytics that inform how capital is allocated across programs. The role is the principal financial partner to R&D and Clinical Operations and a primary author of the materials the board and investors rely on.

Key Responsibilities

Planning and forecasting

• Own the annual operating plan, the quarterly reforecast, and the multi-year long-range plan.
• Maintain the integrated corporate model, including operating expense, headcount, capital, cash flow, and runway.
• Produce the monthly budget-to-actual reporting package with variance analysis and forward-looking commentary.

Program and R&D finance

• Build and maintain program-level cost models across each clinical asset, from study design assumptions through database lock.
• Partner with Clinical Operations on trial budgets, CRO and vendor bid analysis, contract negotiation support, and enrollment-driven spend curves.
• Translate protocol and timeline changes into financial impact quickly enough to inform the decision that prompted them.

Decision support and valuation

• Develop scenario and sensitivity analyses across development, partnering, and financing paths.
• Build risk-adjusted NPV, IRR, and return analyses to support portfolio prioritization and business development evaluation.
• Support competitive benchmarking, comparable company analysis, and market sizing in partnership with the commercial and corporate development functions.

Board, investor, and sponsor reporting

• Prepare board and audit committee financial materials and the recurring investor and sponsor reporting package.
• Support diligence and financing processes, including data room preparation and management of financial information requests.
• Build the reporting cadence, KPI framework, and forecast discipline expected of a public company.

Systems and team

• Own the planning system and reporting tools, including selection and implementation as the company scales.
• Partner with Accounting to align the chart of accounts, close outputs, and accrual estimates with planning inputs.
• Build and lead the FP&A function over time, beginning as an individual contributor with deep hands-on ownership.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related field.
• Ten or more years of progressive FP&A or corporate finance experience.
• Direct biotech or pharmaceutical experience, including clinical development cost modeling.
• Advanced financial modeling skill, with the ability to build a model that survives audit by a sophisticated reader.
• Demonstrated success partnering with scientific and clinical leaders who do not think in financial terms.

Preferred

• MBA, CFA, or CPA.
• Investment banking, equity research, or life sciences investing background.
• Experience supporting an initial public offering or another significant financing.
• Experience with a private equity or venture sponsor and its reporting expectations.
• Implementation experience with a planning platform such as Adaptive, Planful, or Pigment.

Other

• Willingness to build the analysis personally rather than delegate it.

• Precision in assumptions paired with clarity in presentation.
• Sound instinct for which questions the board will ask before the board asks them.
• Steady judgment in a company where timelines and data readouts can reset the plan.
