Job description

Interim CFO - Health Tech SaaS | $140–$155/hr — Remote

This is a high-impact, time-boxed leadership role — ideal for experienced finance executives who thrive in ambiguity and want meaningful engagement without permanent commitment. Interim CFO roles at venture-backed health tech companies are increasingly in demand and can serve as a strong portfolio piece or bridge between full-time executive roles.

Compensation context: At $140–$155/hour, this is at or slightly above typical interim CFO market rates for Series B/C health tech companies (commonly $125–$175/hour for fractional/interim CFOs). The rate reflects the seniority and urgency of the engagement.

• SaaS financial modeling and recurring revenue metrics (ARR, NRR, CAC, LTV)
• Healthcare interoperability industry knowledge — a niche with growing regulatory and commercial importance
• Board-level financial communication and investor relations
• AI tool integration into finance workflows — a forward-looking, marketable skill
• Complex deal pricing and structuring in health tech markets

Green flags: Fully remote, transparent culture, ownership mindset, clear scope (interim with defined handoff). The company processes 1.6B+ messages/month — this is a scaled, operationally real business, not an early-stage concept.

Watch for: As an interim role, job security is inherently limited. Prioritize clarifying the expected engagement duration and likelihood of extension or conversion upfront. The "scrappy" descriptor may signal lean back-office infrastructure that requires extra hands-on effort.

Redox is on a mission to accelerate healthcare's transformation with useful data. The Redox Engine, a flexible interoperability platform, connects and powers real-time healthcare data exchange. With just one connection, data can be orchestrated across a growing network of 12,000+ systems and organizations, including 100+ electronic health record systems (EHRs). Redox processes over 1.6 billion messages per month across our health tech vendor, provider, payer, EHR, and life sciences customers.

We're a fully remote team within the U.S. that operates with radical transparency and a strong bias toward ownership.

Opportunity & Impact

As Interim Chief Financial Officer for a venture-backed health tech company, you will lead the finance function while we search for our permanent CFO. Your job is to keep finance running smoothly, give the CEO and leadership team accurate, timely financial insight, and keep momentum on our growth and cash priorities. This is a hands-on role: you will lead a small, capable finance team and work alongside them, not just oversee the work. You will also set the function up for a smooth handoff to the permanent CFO.

What You'll Be Doing

• Financial Operations and Reporting: Own the monthly close, financial statements, and management reporting. Keep reporting accurate, timely, and compliant with applicable standards.
• Cash Management and Forecasting: Manage cash and maintain a rolling forecast. Give the CEO a clear, current view of the business and the trade-offs between growth investment and cost.
• Budgeting and Planning: Finalize and manage the annual operating plan and budget with the CEO and executive team.
• Board of Directors (BOD) Engagement: Prepare board financial materials and present financial results and analysis at board meetings.
• Team Leadership: Lead and support the finance team, including pricing and FP&A, through the transition. Keep priorities clear and the team engaged.
• Deal and Pricing Support: Work with Sales and the CEO to price and structure complex customer deals.
• Audit, Tax and Compliance: Coordinate the annual audit, tax filings and other compliance requirements with external partners.
• Transition to Permanent CFO: Document key processes, priorities, and open issues, and onboard the permanent CFO once hired.

What You'll Bring

• Proven track record as a CFO or senior finance leader at a SaaS or technology company, including interim or fractional engagements.
• Experience at venture-backed, growth-stage companies, and comfort with a fast-moving, scrappy environment.
• Background in health tech, ideally with exposure to data interoperability or provider, payer, and health tech vendor markets.
• Ability to step in quickly, learn the business within weeks, and make sound decisions with incomplete information.
• A hands-on style: comfortable running the close, building models, and pricing deals yourself.
• Experience preparing board materials and presenting to boards and investors.
• Strong command of cash management, forecasting, and SaaS metrics.
• A creative, solutions-oriented approach: you bring options, not just constraints.
• Clear communication and the executive presence to work with a direct, debate-oriented leadership team.
• Hands-on use of AI tools in your day-to-day work, and the ability to bring AI into how you and the finance team operate.
• CPA, or a bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field.
• MBA (preferred, but not required)

Who You'll Be Engaging With

• CEO and the executive leadership team
• Board of Directors and investors
• Finance team, including pricing and FP&A
• Sales team, on complex customer deals
• External audit, tax, and compliance partners
• The permanent CFO, during the transition
