  • Administration & Business Operations
  • Oversee core administrative functions, including IT, facilities and real estate, ensuring reliable and efficient operations that support scientific progress
  • Partner proactively with scientific and corporate teams to anticipate resource and infrastructure needs, and implement simple, scalable processes that enable their work and remove operational obstacles

  • Experience in a platform biotech or technology/AI-driven drug discovery company preferred
  • 10–15+ years of progressive finance experience, including 5+ years leading finance and administration at a venture-backed biotech, ideally through the transition from development candidate into IND-enabling studies and early clinical development 
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience building operating plans, R&D program budgets, and cash runway models tied to R&D milestones, and supporting VC financing rounds, including investor diligence and board reporting 
  • Experience implementing and/or overseeing accounting and other finance functions (e.g., accounts payable, procurement, etc.)
  • Deep strategic finance experience, including long-range planning, portfolio modeling, R&D cost structures, and scenario-based forecasting
