About The Position

This is a high-impact opportunity for a finance professional who wants to help build the financial foundation of a growing, innovation-led business—partnering directly with R&D leaders, shaping scalable processes, and translating breakthrough development programs into clear business insights. The Financial Analyst will be a trusted finance partner to the R&D organization and the Office of the CFO, supporting the financial strategy behind complex development programs, ARPA-H grant administration, and milestone-based innovation investments. This role will provide budgeting, forecasting, reporting, governance, and business analysis that help leaders make informed decisions across actuals, forecast, budget, cost share, intangible development, and grant-funded activities. As the organization evolves from an R&D-focused environment toward commercialization, this position will play a visible role in building scalable finance processes, strengthening controls, supporting milestone execution, and providing commercial readiness insights related to cost structure, resource planning, profitability, intangible asset development, and long-term operational performance.

Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or related field required; advanced degree or professional certification preferred.
5–7 years of progressive experience in finance, accounting, controlling, FP&A, project finance, or grant administration preferred.
Experience supporting R&D, engineering, product development, or technology-focused organizations strongly preferred.
Ability to turn complex financial data into concise, actionable insights for business leaders, including variance analysis, trend analysis, scenario modeling, and executive-level commentary.
Strong understanding of project accounting, WBS structures, cost center reporting, accruals, month-end close, and financial controls.
Experience with grant administration, government-funded programs, milestone-based contracts, or audit-supported financial reporting is a plus.
Exposure to intangible asset development, capitalization assessments, impairment modeling, discounted cash flow analysis, or valuation-related finance work is preferred.
Commercial finance experience, including order-to-cash, revenue, gross profit, margin analysis, or business model scaling, is beneficial as the organization prepares for commercialization.
Advanced Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint skills required; experience with SAP, dashboards, digital planning tools, or business intelligence platforms preferred.
Excellent communication, collaboration, organization, and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to work effectively across Finance, R&D, Operations, Procurement, and external partners.
A proactive, collaborative mindset with a passion for building scalable finance processes, supporting innovation, and helping a growing business make disciplined, data-driven decisions.
