• Partner closely with Research, Development, Clinical, and Technical Operations leaders to align financial plans with scientific and operational objectives
• Support scenario modeling and sensitivity analyses to inform strategic initiatives and corporate planning
• Prepare board‑ and executive‑level materials, including financial analyses, variance explanations, and strategic recommendations
• Own and continuously enhance FP&A processes, tools, and reporting, with a strong emphasis on scalability and accuracy
• Serve as a subject matter expert for Workday Adaptive Planning, driving adoption, optimization, and effective use across the organization
• Support ad‑hoc financial analyses related to partnering, business development, and corporate strategy as needed

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; MBA or CPA strongly preferred
• 8+ years of progressive FP&A experience, including hands‑on ownership of planning, forecasting, and financial modeling
• Prior experience in strategy, management consulting, or finance advisory roles, paired with experience fully embedded within a biotech or life sciences company
• Strong understanding of biotech financial drivers, particularly R&D and clinical development spending
• Oncology experience and prior partnership with R&D leadership is a major plus
• Hands‑on experience with Workday Adaptive Planning (required)
• Advanced financial modeling, forecasting, and data analysis skills
• Proven ability to independently engage with functional leaders and translate complex financial data into clear, actionable insights; highly collaborative, proactive, and comfortable operating with minimal supervision in a fast‑paced, evolving environment
• Ability to operate successfully as an individual contributor without direct reports
