Position Summary

This role requires a strong background in Project Finance within a CRO environment, excellent analytical and presentation skills, and the ability to engage credibly with department heads and senior operational leaders.

Main Duties & Responsibilities

• Own and deliver portfolio‑level financial analysis for Clinical Solutions departments, including budget health, forecast accuracy, margin performance, and risk identification.
• Lead project financial oversight across the full project lifecycle, from award through closeout, ensuring adherence to financial best practices and internal controls.

• Partner with project finance teams to ensure consistency and integrity of project‑level data feeding portfolio reporting.
• Support and enhance departmental forecasting and planning processes using clear, supportable assumptions.
• Monitor budget consumption, earned value indicators, and change order impacts across portfolios.
• Provide forward‑looking insights to support proactive financial decision‑making by operational leadership.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of financial processes, controls, and reporting standards.
• Develop and maintain trial operations KPIs and measures that link operational performance to financial outcomes (e.g., enrollment pace vs. burn, milestone progress vs. revenue, site activity vs. cost).
• Leverage Excel and Power BI to create scalable dashboards and analyses that support portfolio governance and executive review.
• Translate complex financial and operational data into clear, actionable insights for non‑finance stakeholders.
• Act as a trusted finance partner to Clinical Solutions department heads, supporting planning, performance reviews, and strategic initiatives.
• Prepare and deliver high‑quality presentations and executive‑ready materials summarizing portfolio performance, risks, and recommendations.
• Support ad‑hoc analyses and special projects requested by Finance leadership, Clinical Operations leadership, or executive management.
• Collaborate closely with Project Management, Clinical Operations, Data Management, and Finance teams to ensure alignment between operational execution and financial reporting.

Minimum Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree (or its international equivalent) + 5 years of related experience.

Preferred Education & Experience (optional)

• Bachelor’s degree in finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field (or its international equivalent).
• Approximately 5-8 years of relevant experience in project finance, FP&A, or operational finance, with a strong preference for CRO or clinical research industry experience.
• Demonstrated experience managing or analysing clinical trial portfolios and complex project financials.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills (financial modelling, scenario analysis, large data sets).
• Working knowledge of Power BI or similar BI/visualization tools.
• Strong presentation and communication skills, with experience presenting to senior leaders and department heads.
• Solid understanding of clinical trial financial drivers, project lifecycles, and contract/budget mechanics.

• Executive presence and confidence interacting with senior operational leaders.
• Ability to synthesize complex data into clear narratives and recommendations.
• High attention to detail balanced with a portfolio‑level, strategic mindset.
• Self‑motivated, adaptable, and comfortable operating in a fast‑paced, matrixed environment.
