Job description

Calibrate is on a mission to change the way the world treats weight. We’re defining a new category in metabolic health that mirrors what the research shows—that weight reflects our biology, not our willpower. Our program was designed by world leaders in obesity and nutrition science to improve metabolic health and drive long-term weight loss that’s impactful, realistic, and sustainable.

Obesity is America’s underlying pandemic and largest category of chronic disease, and Calibrate is closing the gap in care for 175mm adults in a $600bn market where we spend millions of dollars each year and do not lose millions of pounds.

To bring Calibrate to everyone who needs it, we’re building the first value-based model in obesity treatment, aligning incentives for patients, providers, payors, and pharmaceutical companies. We’ve built a suite of products that combine medication with our proprietary intensive lifestyle intervention to deliver results that last.Calibrate launched in 2020 direct-to-consumer and has since expanded into enterprise channels to increase access to effective obesity treatment.

Calibrate’s programs bring decades of clinical research directly to consumers, immersing members in a biweekly 1:1 coaching program and curriculum that educates and encourages them to build enduring healthy habits across the four areas essential to lasting metabolic health: food, sleep, exercise, and emotional health. A purpose-built app enables daily tracking of food, energy levels, weight, and bi-weekly goals and helps members interact with their Coaching and Medical teams, while a members’ group and events calendar create additional opportunities to engage with the Calibrate community.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Controller to join our Finance team and take ownership of the company’s financial operations. The Controller will be responsible for managing the accounting function, financial reporting, compliance, banking, cash management, financial audit, and internal controls. This role requires a hands-on, strategic leader who thrives in a mission-driven environment.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Oversee all accounting operations including billing, accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, payroll, and tax.
• Prepare timely and accurate monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
• Ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local tax filings and regulatory requirements.
• Establish and maintain internal control policies, procedures, and best practices to ensure financial integrity and mitigate risk.
• Coordinate and manage annual audits and interface with external auditors, tax advisors, and consultants.
• Implement systems and tools to improve the efficiency and scalability of financial operations.
• Provide financial insights and strategic recommendations to support business decision-making and growth.
• Support financial modeling and scenario analysis for strategic initiatives, including new program launches, partnerships, and cost management.
• Develop and mentor a growing finance team, as needed.

BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required, CPA preferred.
• 7+ years of progressive experience in accounting or financial management, with at least 2 years in a Controller or equivalent leadership role.
• Exhaustive understanding of GAAP, accounting systems (e.g., QuickBooks, NetSuite), and financial reporting standards.
• Demonstrated ability to identify and manage complex financial operations and lead process improvements.
• Experience in Medtech, Healthtech or digital health.
• Strong analytical and strategic thinking skills with attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills; comfortable working cross-functionally, throughout the organization’s vertical reporting structure, and in a remote team environment.
• Passion for health, wellness, and making a difference in people’s lives.

OUR VALUES

We’re in it together : We have an audacious mission, and we’re building a lot of things for the first time — from the first DTC pharma business within the healthcare ecosystem to the data infrastructure for providing real-world evidence in the largest category of chronic disease. It takes superpowers to build something simple and intuitive within the complex healthcare market, so we identify and work as a team from our individual points of strength. Not everyone has to be good at everything, but we know that when we harness what we’re each great at, we’re unstoppable.

Small wins create big wins : We ground every experience in optimism, recognizing and celebrating successes along the way. We break projects down into smaller components. And we focus on where we have momentum. We always plan for larger goals with the knowledge that our plans will evolve as we achieve smaller milestones.

You’re in control : We don’t let location stand in the way of the best talent — and from coaches to engineers, we are a remote-first team. Our business is multi-faceted, so each Calibrater is hired to be an expert in their piece of it — in control of their own initiatives, in control of their own impact, and in control of driving their own (real) results.

Real results matter : We’re obsessed with outcomes because when our members win, we win, and the data proves that we’ve built the best metabolic health program on the market. We’re purposeful, optimistic, and relentlessly confident that we can solve the biggest medical issue of the 21st century.

Calibrate is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace, providing equal employment and advancement opportunities to all team members. To achieve our mission of changing the way the world treats weight, we are building an environment where every Calibrater can thrive, feel a sense of belonging, and do the best work of their careers. We value diversity and recruit, hire, and promote individuals solely based on talent, qualifications, competence, and merit. We evaluate candidates without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or other protected characteristics as required by law and as a matter of our company values.
