Description
To assist in supporting ambitious plans for bringing the product to market, we are seeking to recruit a high-quality Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to join the team and take responsibility for all aspects of finance. Reporting to the CEO, the successful candidate should be able to be both a strategic business partner, capable of playing a leading role in future funding rounds and a potential listing, whilst happy to perform a ‘hands-on’ finance role and leading a small in-house team. This is a key management appointment in a high-performing environment where individuals are encouraged to take ownership, work together to solve problems, and take action to keep the team moving forward through the next stage of growth.
Skills
Applicants for this Chief Financial Officer role should be experienced finance professionals with a background of managing finance in early stage, complex businesses and ideally have helped take similar businesses through commercialisation and later stage fundraising rounds. Candidates should be able to take a long-term view, managing the bigger picture as well as the day-to-day details of finance in a scale-up. You should be genuinely excited and have a passion about contributing to the development of the business and partnering the CEO to map the company’s path in creating a product that is advancing science and building something transformative in the field of cancer treatment.
