At Enveda, every role drives impact. As VP, Finance, you are Enveda’s operational finance leader - the person the CFO trusts to run the day-to-day of the finance organization. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role responsible for owning accounting operations, financial reporting, and controllership end-to-end, while leading and growing a high-performing finance team. You will report directly to the CFO and together ensure the company’s financial foundation is rigorous, accurate, and scalable as Enveda grows through its next phase of development.

Accounting Operations: Own the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close process; ensure timeliness, accuracy, and GAAP compliance across all financial statements; maintain the general ledger, oversee journal entries, account reconciliations, and consolidations

Technical Accounting: Own complex areas critical to biotech including R&D and clinical trial expense accruals, stock-based compensation, leases, collaboration and licensing arrangements, revenue recognition, and equity/financing transactions; document positions in clear technical memos

Audit Leadership: Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors; lead the annual financial statement audit from planning through issuance, including audit schedules, PBC requests, and management responses

Treasury & Cash Management: Manage the company’s cash position, bank relationships, and investment accounts; oversee cash flow forecasting, wire approvals, and operating account controls; ensure clear visibility into the company’s liquidity runway at all times

Financial Reporting & Internal Controls: Prepare accurate and timely internal financial reports (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) for the CFO, executive team, and Board; design, implement, and maintain a robust internal control environment and accounting policies consistent with GAAP and SOX-readiness standards

Tax & Regulatory Compliance: Oversee federal, state, and local tax filings (or coordinate with external advisors); manage R&D tax credits and all regulatory reporting requirements

Systems & Infrastructure: Evaluate, implement, and optimize accounting systems and finance tools (ERP, expense management, procurement workflows); deploy AI strategically and responsibly; scale and modernize the finance tech stack to meet the demands of a growing clinical-stage biotech

Vendor & External Advisor Management: Manage relationships with external auditors, tax advisors, payroll providers, and accounting consultants; hold vendors accountable to scope, budget, and timeline

Team Leadership: Directly manage, develop, and retain the finance team; serve as the day-to-day mentor and primary resource for finance staff; build a high-performance culture within the function

12+ years of progressive finance and accounting experience including controllership leadership, with a strong track record in high-growth, scaling environments; at least 3+ years in a senior finance leadership role at a clinical-stage or commercial biotech or pharma company

Deep US GAAP and technical accounting expertise, with direct ownership of external audits and ICFR/internal controls

Demonstrated track record owning the month-end close process end-to-end, leading external audits from planning through issuance, and managing treasury operations hands-on (not just supervisory)

CPA required; Big Four or mid-tier public accounting background strongly preferred

Experience managing a lean finance team; comfortable being both a manager and an individual contributor as the business demands

Proven ability to build financial systems, processes, and controls from the ground up in a fast-moving environment

Public-company finance experience strongly preferred - you have operated within the rigor of a publicly traded company (or led a company through becoming one) and know what it demands

Builder mentality, high integrity, and the ability to earn trust quickly - the CFO’s most relied-upon operational partner in running the day-to-day of the finance organization

A proven people leader who earns trust quickly, invests in team development, and creates clarity in ambiguous situations

If you’re passionate about innovation and impact, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every requirement.
