Job Summary:
The Director, Financial Planning & Analysis is an enterprise-level finance leader and strategic business partner responsible for building and owning Beeline's entire financial planning infrastructure from the ground up. Reporting to the VP of FP&A, this role carries a dual mandate: architect the company's ERP, FP&A platform, budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting systems, while simultaneously serving as a trusted finance partner to functional leaders across R&D, G&A, Legal, HR, and Operations. This is a rare build opportunity for a finance executive who thrives in early-stage environments and wants to leave a lasting mark on a company at a critical inflection point.
Work Arrangement & Location:
Hybrid - This position follows a hybrid work schedule, requiring a minimum of two (2) days on-site per week — currently designated as Tuesday and Wednesday. Additional on-site days may be required based on business needs, team priorities, or leadership direction.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
- Lead the evaluation, selection, and end-to-end implementation of the company's ERP system (e.g., NetSuite, Sage Intacct) and FP&A/CPM platform (e.g., Adaptive Planning, Anaplan, Pigment), including chart of accounts, cost center hierarchy, and integration architecture
- Design and implement the company's annual budgeting process — calendar, templates, cross-functional submission workflows, consolidation methodology, and governance — covering all departments company-wide
- Build a company-wide rolling forecast framework with functional, program-level, and consolidated views, incorporating milestone-driven scenario planning and cash runway modeling
- Own the monthly management reporting package from scratch — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, headcount, and KPI dashboards — designed for management, board, and investor audiences
- Establish a procure-to-pay and spend approval framework that enforces budget discipline, supports accurate accruals, and scales across all functions
- Maintain dynamic, scenario-based cash runway models reflecting clinical milestones, financing assumptions, and operating plan changes
- Serve as a trusted finance business partner to functional leaders across R&D, G&A, Legal, HR, and Operations — providing budget guidance, variance analysis, and forward-looking financial insight
- Support financing activities — equity rounds, debt facilities, and due diligence — by delivering financial models, investor-facing analyses, and scenario packages in partnership with the VP of FP&A
- Build and maintain financial models supporting non-dilutive funding activities, including grant applications, funded collaborations, and government contracts
- Perform other duties and responsibilities as assigned
Qualifications:
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field required; MBA, CPA, or CFA strongly preferred
- 10 years of progressive finance experience, with meaningful tenure in FP&A leadership roles with company-wide scope — not exclusively R&D, operational, or single-function finance
- Demonstrated, hands-on experience leading ERP selection and implementation (NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or equivalent) and/or FP&A platform implementation (Adaptive Planning, Anaplan, Pigment, or equivalent) — required
- Biotech, life sciences, or pharmaceutical industry experience strongly preferred; pre-revenue or clinical-stage company experience is a meaningful differentiator
- Deep expertise in enterprise financial modeling, multi-scenario analysis, and cash runway management in a capital-intensive environment
- Experience supporting board and investor materials, capital raising processes (equity, debt, or non-dilutive), and executive-level strategic planning
- Track record of effective cross-functional business partnering — comfortable working with scientists, operators, and executives with equal credibility
- Strong command of financial systems architecture and data integration standards between ERP, HRIS, and operational tracking tools
- Proven ability to lead and influence cross-functional stakeholders in a matrixed, fast-paced environment, translating financial complexity into clear priorities and decisions for non-finance executives
- Track record of building high-performance finance functions from scratch, with the judgment to sequence investments, manage ambiguity, and deliver results without the infrastructure of a mature organization
- Exceptional ability to translate complex financial data into clear, decision-ready narratives tailored to executives, board members, and investors
- Strong written communication skills, with demonstrated experience authoring board packages, investor-facing analyses, and management reporting commentary
