Finance Manager

REF: LJ53505

Job Title: Finance Manager

Industry: Biotechnology/Pharmaceutical

Employment Type: Permanent

Location: Cambridge

Salary Guide: £60,000 - £65,000

Our client is a high growth biotechnology business developing oral medication to treat especially refractory forms of cancer. Having successfully raised significant funds, and with the next phase of drug trials lined up, they are now looking to scale the finance function by recruiting a Finance Manager to support the Finance Director and wider team.

Description

Due to the anticipated scaling of the business, a Finance Manager role is being recruited to create capacity within the finance function for significant projected growth over the next 12-18 months. This person will report to the Finance Director and will be a key member of the finance team, working alongside two others at the Manager level. As well as leading the month-end process and supporting in audit reviews, financial statement preparation and tax matters, the Finance Manager will be involved in a significant number of ad-hoc projects with the Finance Director, making the scope of the role incredibly broad. As the business prepares for further fundraising and a potential listing, the successful candidate will assist with the expansion of the company’s shareholder base and carry out any necessary analysis as required by the Finance Director. This is a key hire into the finance function and will work very closely with a high-quality team in a collaborative environment.

Skills

The successful candidate will be a recently qualified accountant, with experience gained working with smaller, growing businesses whether in an accounting practice or within industry. This person will have impressive attention to detail and will work with pace to complete tasks in an accurate and timely manner. It would be useful if individuals had an interest in biotechnology or drug discovery and were able to bring that interest to a company making a significant contribution to cancer treatment. This is a rare and exciting opportunity for a high calibre candidate to join a dynamic business at an exciting point in the company’s development.
