About The Position

TetraScience is the Scientific Data and AI Company building Tetra OS, the operating system for scientific intelligence. We help the world’s leading life sciences firms turn fragmented scientific data into AI-native assets and scientific workflows that accelerate discovery, development, and manufacturing. TetraScience’s growing ecosystem of strategic partners includes NVIDIA, Databricks, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Snowflake, Google, and Microsoft. This role is the CFO's right hand person, and a reliable business partner for the rest of the organization. There are two aspects to the role. The first is ownership of the TetraScience financial model, the company's single source of truth for its annual operating plan, quarterly forecasts, scenarios, headcount and cash, along with the cycles that run on it: the monthly flash, the month-end close board reporting, leadership team reporting, variance analyses, and the weekly cash forecast. The second is managing the information flow around the leadership team: shared agendas, diving into key metrics, capturing decisions, and bringing closure to strategic initiatives along with the CFO.
