About Celito

Celito Tech helps biotechnology and life sciences companies implement and operate the technology, data and compliance capabilities they need as they grow. Our services span enterprise applications, IT operations, cybersecurity, data and analytics, and GxP systems and quality.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a consulting leader who has sold, scoped, and delivered enterprise systems work for biotechnology companies. You will help clients connect finance, procurement, and supply chain as they progress from clinical development to commercialization, with NetSuite, Coupa, and their surrounding applications at the center of the offering.

You will advise CFOs, controllers, and leaders in procurement, supply chain, technical operations, IT, and quality. You will own the relationship from discovery and proposal through delivery and account growth. Consultants, solution architects, and project managers will execute the work under your direction; you will remain accountable for solution quality, client outcomes, and engagement profitability.

What You Will Do

• Lead business discovery and executive presentations. Diagnose operational and financial needs, develop a business case, and recommend a practical roadmap matched to the client's development stage, budget, and operating model.
• Win work in existing and new accounts. Own opportunity qualification, proposals, statements of work, pricing, negotiations, and closure in partnership with Celito's sales and delivery leaders.
• Shape implementations, integrations, optimization projects, and managed services. Define process ownership, system boundaries, data flows, controls, and dependencies with functional and technical specialists.
• Set clear scope, assumptions, deliverables, acceptance criteria, staffing, and budgets. Validate technical feasibility and delivery capacity before making commitments.
• Direct delivery teams and project managers. Review solution decisions, monitor milestones and margins, manage changes and escalations, and maintain executive confidence.
• Own ongoing account plans, business reviews, renewals, and expansion. Build repeatable offerings and develop the team and partner relationships needed to deliver them.

Biotech Processes You Must Understand

• Finance and procurement: financial close, R&D and clinical accruals, CRO and CMO commitments, cash and budget visibility, supplier onboarding, approvals, purchasing, receipt and invoice matching, inventory valuation, and cost of goods sold.
• Clinical supply: study demand, outsourced manufacturing, packaging and labeling, depots and distribution, lot and expiry visibility, and cold-chain requirements. Understand how ERP interfaces with clinical trial supply systems such as IRT or RTSM.
• Commercial supply: CMO and CDMO operations, inventory ownership and reconciliation, quality-release status, planning, 3PL integrations, order-to-cash, and relevant serialization and gross-to-net interfaces.

Experience and Capabilities

• Typically 10 or more years in ERP, enterprise applications, or operations consulting, including substantial client-facing work for biotechnology companies.
• A demonstrated record of personally winning, scoping, and leading services engagements. Able to explain your role in the sale, contract value, delivery approach, account growth, and client outcomes.
• Direct experience with both clinical-stage and commercial-stage biotech operating models. Bring concrete examples involving outsourced manufacturing, clinical or commercial supply, inventory, and finance; experience managing clinical spend alone is insufficient.
• Strong functional knowledge of NetSuite finance, procurement, inventory, and integrations, with experience leading implementations or significant transformations. Understand Coupa procurement and its ERP integration well enough to lead discovery and shape work with platform specialists.
• Credibility with finance and supply-chain executives. Able to connect operational decisions to cash, financial reporting, inventory costs, controls, and commercial readiness.
• Experience directing multidisciplinary and distributed teams, managing executive relationships, and owning project economics and customer satisfaction.
• Sound judgment on financial controls, segregation of duties, audit readiness, and IT SOX. Understand when intended system use introduces GxP requirements and engage quality and validation specialists appropriately.

Preferred Background

Experience in a life sciences ERP, supply chain, or business applications practice at RSM, BDO, Sikich, or a comparable consultancy is particularly relevant. We also welcome leaders from specialist biotech implementation firms. Practice development, recurring managed services, partner-led selling, and clinical-to-commercial transitions are valuable. NetSuite or Coupa certifications and accounting or supply-chain credentials are helpful.

This role requires sufficient breadth to lead the client conversation and direct specialists. Deep configuration expertise across every platform is not required. You should know where ERP and procurement end and where clinical supply, manufacturing, quality, and logistics applications must contribute.

How Success Will Be Measured

• Qualified opportunities converted into signed engagements with clear scope and achievable margins.
• Client retention and account expansion, including recurring services and cross-functional work.
• Successful delivery against agreed outcomes, budgets, and timelines, with strong executive relationships.
• A repeatable biotech finance, ERP, procurement, and supply-chain offering supported by a capable delivery team.
