About The Position

At Helix, our mission is to help everyone improve their lives through their DNA. We are transforming healthcare by making genomics a standard of care. We partner with health systems and life science companies to accelerate the integration of genomic data into clinical practice. Join us in building a future where healthcare is personalized, proactive, and powered by genomics. As a Senior FP&A Analyst at Helix, you'll own operating expense planning, reporting, and forecasting for the Finance team. Your work will shape strategic decisions and optimize how we spend across the company. Beyond traditional FP&A, you'll design and support the systems behind our numbers, including NetSuite, our procurement platform, and our CRM. AI is now core to how our Finance team works, not an add-on. We're looking for someone who already treats it as a real part of their toolkit and wants to grow further against Helix's Finance AI Fluency framework. You'll thrive in our fast-paced startup environment, where autonomy and ambition directly shape our mission.
