Director, Finance, Planning, - Cambridge, United States - Obsidian Therapeutics
Description
Director, Finance, Planning, & Analysis (FP&A)
Cambridge, MA
About Us...
Obsidian Therapeutics is expanding the reach of TIL therapy. We are pioneering engineered tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapies to deliver transformative outcomes for patients suffering from solid tumor malignancies. Obsidian's programs apply our cytoDRiVE platform technology to express regulated therapeutic proteins to enhance anti-tumor activity. We're currently investigating our lead program OBX-115 and enrolling patients in an ongoing clinical trial in advanced or metastatic melanoma.
We're proud of our diverse talented team and committed to cultivating an environment where each person feels a strong sense of belonging and is supported to continuously learn and contribute their best work. Our research team is based in the heart of Cambridge, MA, and our Technical Development, Manufacturing & Quality team is based in our facility in Bedford, MA. Obsidianites enjoy a highly collaborative culture, competitive salary and benefits, and potential for ownership through stock options.
On April 3, 2024, we announced closure of a significantly oversubscribed $160.5 million Series C financing with a top-tier syndicate of life science investors led by new investor, Wellington Management. Proceeds from the financing will advance Obsidian's lead program in its ongoing trials. We're focused on enrolling patients and reaching key clinical and regulatory milestones, as well as manufacturing scale-up ahead of pivotal trial readiness.
Additional Series C Financing Details
Our Series C financing was led by new investor, Wellington Management. Additional new investors participating in the financing include Foresite Capital, Janus Henderson Investors, Novo Holdings A/S, Paradigm BioCapital, RTW Investments, funds and accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., and Woodline Partners LP. Existing investors Atlas Venture, Blue Owl Healthcare Opportunities, Bristol Myers Squibb, Deep Track Capital, Logos Capital, RA Capital Management, TCGX, Samsara BioCapital and Surveyor Capital (a Citadel company) also participated in the financing.
Our Opportunity
Obsidian Therapeutics is seeking a finance professional with strong business partnering, financial, analytical, and communication skills. In this role, you will be responsible for key corporate planning that will support the company's transition from a private, early-stage company through a potential Initial Public Offering and into a publicly traded, multi-product, late-stage company. You will be a key business partner working directly with our executive leadership team across R&D and G&A functions, including the CEO, Clinical Development, Research, Technical Operations/Manufacturing, Corporate Strategy, IT & Facilities, and HR. Your role will be to help to our leaders build and maintain budgets, plan their functions, and make strategic decisions for the company on portfolio prioritization and business development.
We are seeking a finance professional who conducts insightful financial analyses, manages the short- and long-term P&L, and has experience working with executive management, all within a clinical-stage biotechnology company; cell therapy experience preferred. The ideal candidate has a versatile skillset and has demonstrated agility in taking on new roles and responsibilities. This position will report directly to the Chief Financial Officer.
