Help us create a brighter tomorrow with biology. We're looking for mission-driven, talented, and kind people to join our team.


About This Job

We are looking for an experienced CFO to both lead our financial strategy and work with our executive team to help define and execute on our commercial strategy.

We are seeking an individual who has experience scaling a fast-growing start-up and is highly mission-driven. In this role, you will be in charge of managing and allocating our funds, as well as defining solutions and processes that scale. This is a great opportunity for a business-oriented leader to work directly with the executive team and to build a finance function at a high-impact organization at the forefront of biotech.

  • You will work closely with the executive team using your experience, vision, and strategic thinking to influence the trajectory of the organization.
  • You will review monthly financial reports, confirm accuracy and identify opportunities for savings/optimization of our activities and forecasting models.
  • You will be responsible for ensuring that our procurement processes are optimized.
  • You will be in charge of capital allocation and cash management for Prolific Machines, balancing return and liquidity to ensure we have cash on hand to make our capital investments.
  • You will manage our outsourced finance team and review and approve large invoice items.

About You

  • You will have 10+ years of relevant professional experience, ideally in a start-up environment.
  • You can develop and present a compelling and comprehensive vision that is grounded in data, and enjoy building models that allow selecting the best strategy.
  • You understand and are familiar with the benefits of the funding instruments available to start-ups across debt, capital raising and grants.
  • You will be flexible, pragmatic and willing to assist with duties outside of your domain when required for the business. You have a growth-oriented mindset and want to develop solutions that scale.

Diversity

We value diverse people, perspectives, and knowledge. To this end, we aim to foster a sense of belonging that enables everyone to bring their whole, authentic self to work every day. We are committed to growing a diverse and inclusive team that encompasses all types of people. We believe this can only be achieved by acknowledging the ancestral, historic, and current systemic and communal inequities.
