Neptune Medical is an innovative and ambitious venture capital funded Silicon Valley medical device start-up.

This is a highly strategic, creative and impactful role at Neptune. We are changing the future of flexible endoscopy, and a key aspect of that work is getting both design and manufacturing right. We particularly value candidates who are adept at creating and telling our manufacturing story to both internal and external (fundraising, business development) audiences.


Our ideal candidate will act with passion and intensity in a medical device start-up that is fast paced and collaborative. For the right person, this position will be a tremendously exciting and career-defining opportunity, making core contributions to a genuinely new type of medical robotic platform.

  • Lead short-term and long-term financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting to ensure accurate and timely financial projections for senior leadership.
  • Consistently stay ahead – of deadlines, trends and driving the decisions around things that need to be changed or improved.


REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and interpersonal skills with the ability to collaborate effectively with internal teams and external suppliers.
