Director, Financial Planning and Analysis

GENERAL SUMMARY

4DMT is a leading late‑stage biotechnology company advancing durable and disease‑targeted therapeutics with potential to transform treatment paradigms and provide unprecedented benefits to patients. The Company’s lead product candidate 4D‑150 is designed to be a backbone therapy forming the foundation of treatment of blinding retinal vascular diseases by providing multi‑year sustained delivery of anti‑VEGF (aflibercept and anti‑VEGF‑C) with a single, safe, intravitreal injection, which substantially reduces the treatment burden associated with current bolus injections. The Company’s lead indication for 4D‑150 is wet age‑related macular degeneration, which is currently in Phase 3 development, and second indication is diabetic macular edema. The Company’s second product candidate is 4D‑710, which is the first known genetic medicine to demonstrate successful delivery and expression of the CFTR transgene in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis after aerosol delivery.

The Director, FP&A – TechOps serves as the primary finance business partner to the TechOps organization, providing end‑to‑end financial leadership across Manufacturing, Supply Chain, CMC Quality, and External Manufacturing as 4DMT transitions from late‑stage clinical development to commercial readiness and launch. This role is responsible for driving financial planning, forecasting, and decision support for a rapidly scaling TechOps organization. The Director will partner closely with TechOps leadership to translate operational plans into clear financial outcomes, proactively manage risks, and enable disciplined, data‑driven decisions.

The position is expected to operate as a hands‑on, strategic individual contributor, with future people management potential as the organization scales.

The Director role will report to the CFO and is expected on site.
