Senior Director, FP&A
About The Position
Reporting to the VP FP&A, the Senior Director serves as the strategic finance partner to the Chief Commercial Officer, is a member of both the US Commercial Leadership Team and the US Executive Leadership Team and works regularly with the CEO and CFO on the company's most important commercial and investment decisions. This individual contributor position is both strategic and hands-on and is one of the most influential finance leadership roles below Vice President level. Unlike many Commercial FP&A roles, this position extends well beyond forecasting. It combines commercial finance leadership, strategic planning, portfolio management, executive decision support, and organizational transformation. The successful candidate will help shape decisions that influence both Pharming's current commercial performance and its future growth trajectory. This is a unique opportunity to shape the commercial finance agenda of a growing global biotech company at a pivotal stage in its evolution. Working with the CEO, CFO and CCO, the successful candidate will influence enterprise-wide decisions, support the commercialization of future pipeline assets, and help build a worldclass Commercial FP&A function. This role offers exceptional executive visibility, strategic impact, and the opportunity to leave a lasting mark on the organization. We are seeking a leader who is intellectually curious, commercially astute and comfortable operating in an ambitious, evolving environment. This individual combines strategic vision with hands-on execution, builds credibility quickly and is confident challenging assumptions to improve business outcomes. They thrive in environments where structure continues to evolve, bring clarity to complexity, and inspire confidence at the executive level. Above all, they are an entrepreneurial leader who builds high-performing teams and culture—not simply maintaining them.
