At Enveda, every role drives impact. As VP, Finance, you are Enveda’s operational finance leader - the person the CFO trusts to run the day-to-day of the finance organization. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role responsible for owning accounting operations, financial reporting, and controllership end-to-end, while leading and growing a high-performing finance team. You will report directly to the CFO and together ensure the company’s financial foundation is rigorous, accurate, and scalable as Enveda grows through its next phase of development.

Requirements

• 12+ years of progressive finance and accounting experience including controllership leadership, with a strong track record in high-growth, scaling environments; at least 3+ years in a senior finance leadership role at a clinical-stage or commercial biotech or pharma company
• Deep US GAAP and technical accounting expertise, with direct ownership of external audits and ICFR/internal controls
• Demonstrated track record owning the month-end close process end-to-end, leading external audits from planning through issuance, and managing treasury operations hands-on (not just supervisory)
• CPA required; Big Four or mid-tier public accounting background strongly preferred
• Experience managing a lean finance team; comfortable being both a manager and an individual contributor as the business demands
• Proven ability to build financial systems, processes, and controls from the ground up in a fast-moving environment
• Public-company finance experience strongly preferred - you have operated within the rigor of a publicly traded company (or led a company through becoming one) and know what it demands
• Builder mentality, high integrity, and the ability to earn trust quickly - the CFO’s most relied-upon operational partner in running the day-to-day of the finance organization
• A proven people leader who earns trust quickly, invests in team development, and creates clarity in ambiguous situations
