Job Overview

As the Head of FP&A, you will play a critical role in helping DelRicht understand where the business is headed and translating that visibility into better decisions.

Reporting directly to the CFO, you will own and continuously improve the company's financial forecasting, planning, and analytical decision-support capabilities. You will partner closely with executive leadership, clinical site operations, and cross-functional teams to develop forward-looking financial and operational forecasts, evaluate business scenarios, and proactively identify emerging risks and opportunities.

This is a highly visible, hands-on individual contributor role with significant ownership and autonomy. The ideal candidate will combine exceptional financial modeling and analytical capabilities with strong business judgment, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to translate complex information into actionable recommendations. You will be equally comfortable independently building sophisticated financial models, diving into operational datasets, and influencing strategic decisions alongside senior leadership.
