The right candidate brings sharp analytical instincts, a bias for action, and the ability to deliver reliable financial support at a pace that keeps up with a fast-moving commercial business.

What You’ll Do

• Review and, where needed, build capacity models for Clinical Operations staff — ensuring headcount aligns with patient volume, operational targets, and cost objectives
• Update and maintain gross margin workbooks on a monthly basis, incorporating actuals with precision and producing variance commentary that drives decision‑making
• Own headcount management reporting across Clinical Ops and Commercial teams, providing leadership with timely, accurate views of staffing costs vs. plan
• Analyze the cost impact of process and product improvements, translating operational changes into clear financial outcomes and recommendations
• Support budget and forecast preparation for both functions — partnering with Operations and Commercial leaders to build credible, data‑backed plans
• Utilize Adaptive Insights (Workday Adaptive Planning) to manage planning cycles, scenario modeling, and financial reporting with efficiency and accuracy
• Apply AI‑powered analytics tools to automate routine tasks, surface insights faster, and continuously elevate the quality of financial outputs
• This role rewards people who care deeply about the quality and timeliness of their work and who bring a collaborative, ownership‑driven mindset to everything they do.
• Strong attention to detail — gross margin workbooks and capacity models are foundational to how we run the business, and getting them right matters
• Fast turnaround — leadership relies on timely analysis to make decisions; the expectation is responsive, not reactive
• Strong partnership instincts — you work closely with Operations and Commercial leaders and must earn their trust through consistent, high‑quality support
• Availability and responsiveness during East Coast US hours (approximately 50% of your working week) to support leadership, month‑end close, and planning cycles
• Continuous improvement orientation — if a process can be made smarter or faster, you find a way

Required Qualifications

• 3–6 years of FP&A, commercial finance, or operations finance experience; healthcare, life sciences, or services industry background preferred
• Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills; hands‑on experience with Adaptive Insights / Workday Adaptive Planning strongly preferred
• Comfortable working across both Google Suite (Sheets, Slides, Docs) and Microsoft Office products
• Exposure to AI‑assisted analytics or business intelligence tools (Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent) a meaningful advantage
• Demonstrated ability to build and maintain complex financial models (capacity models, gross margin workbooks, headcount trackers)
• Clear and confident communicator — able to present financial findings to non‑finance stakeholders in a concise, actionable way
• Highly organized, self‑directed, and comfortable managing multiple deliverables across functions and time zones simultaneously

Ability To Commute/relocate

• Hyderabad, Telangana: Reliably commute or planning to relocate before starting work (Preferred)
