About The Position

Revolution Medicines is a global, commercial-stage oncology company dedicated to discovering, developing, and delivering innovative medicines for patients with RAS-addicted cancers. Leveraging its differentiated RAS(ON) tri-complex inhibitor platform, the company is advancing a broad, integrated portfolio of oral RAS(ON) inhibitors designed to directly target the active, cancer-driving state of RAS. Founded on rigorous scientific inquiry and a willingness to challenge long-held assumptions, Revolution Medicines is committed to changing the trajectory of disease for patients with RAS-addicted cancers worldwide. Our people are united by a shared way of working: follow the science, challenge assumptions, act with urgency, and hold ourselves to a high standard of rigor—all in service of patients. The Opportunity: RevMed is seeking a hands-on, globally minded finance leader to establish and lead the Global Finance capability supporting international expansion. This role owns the strategy, operating model, and governance framework for finance launch and interim operations across new international markets and evolving global finance operations. Reporting to the VP, Finance, this person will lead finance readiness for new jurisdictions, provide interim financial leadership from legal entity incorporation through establishment of the local operating model, and direct global controllership across accounting, reporting, controls, and business process governance. This role is ideal for someone who can move fluidly between strategy and execution. The successful candidate will build playbooks, run cross-functional workstreams, manage local service providers, ensure close and statutory readiness, coordinate with business leaders across regions, and connect local teams to Corporate Accounting, SEC Reporting, SOX, Tax, Treasury, Legal, HR/Payroll, FP&A, and other stakeholders. RevMed needs a strategic, hands-on leader who can appropriately move between setting direction, influencing senior stakeholders, and executing directly during periods of market launch, transition, or limited local resourcing, while ensuring new markets are launched with practical, compliant, and scalable finance processes.

Experience influencing executive-level stakeholders and managing critical external relationships, including service providers, auditors, advisors, or regulators.
