Altum Consulting are thrilled to bring a Finance Director role to market with a highly exciting early-stage Life Sciences start-up. This is an interim position looking at an initial 6-9 months however there is also scope for a longer term position for the right individual. This is a exciting and important period in terms of investment and ensuring the longevity of the business and thus requires an experienced FD who has ideally worked in this sector previously. This role has plenty of potential as the firm continues their mission with plans to expand and scale, and thus, this role will play a pivotal role in shaping the financial future of the organisation.

This will be a high-impact role and would require someone who is consultative, is technically and analytically strong, and understands the pain points that a business like this may face. This role will require someone who is comfortable wearing many different hats and getting involved in a range of financial management decisions, from getting involved in the detail, to strategic decision making, extensive business partnering and team leadership.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide strategic financial leadership to the organisation, developing and implementing financial plans and policies to support our growth trajectory.
  • Drive financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting processes. Analyse financial data to provide insights and recommendations for decision-making, cost optimisation, and revenue enhancement.
  • Collaborate with senior leadership to shape the company's strategic direction. Evaluate opportunities for growth, mergers and acquisitions, and new market entry. Provide financial guidance to support decision-making.
  • Ensure compliance with financial regulations, reporting requirements, and industry standards. Mitigate financial risks through proactive measures and monitoring.
  • Oversee financial reporting and analysis, including overseeing and liaising with any outsourced providers
  • Manage and optimise the company's cash flow, including cash reserves, investments, and liquidity.


Ideally the successful candidate will:

  • Be professionally qualified with a track record of financial leadership in a life sciences or start-up environment
  • Have strong leadership and team-building skills with the ability to mentor and develop finance professionals
  • Have exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with key stakeholders
