About the role
Loyal is hiring a Director, FP&A to enhance and run the company's financial planning and analysis function. You will be the first hire to a building finance team, reporting directly to our VP, Finance, as the company prepares to move from a clinical-stage organization to a commercial one.
What they're looking for
- 8-12 years of progressive finance and FP&A experience, with meaningful time in animal health, biotech, pharma, or another R&D-heavy business that creates value by achieving technical milestones
- You have owned clinical study financial planning. You understand how enrollment assumptions, site activation timing, and CRO contract structures translate into spend curves and accruals
- You have worked on CMC or manufacturing financial planning. You understand how campaign timing translates into spend curves, and how R&D-stage manufacturing cost becomes an inventoriable cost at launch
- Expert financial modeler. You build and audit integrated three-statement models, headcount models, and scenario analyses from scratch, and you can defend every assumption in them
- You have helped build and/or scale an FP&A function — planning calendar, forecast cadence, reporting standards, budget-owner discipline — not just operated inside a mature one
- Strong accounting fundamentals: revenue recognition, accruals, working capital, and how the three statements connect. You are comfortable enough in the accounting seat to support close when the team needs it
More about this role
Loyal is a clinical-stage veterinary medicine company developing longevity drugs for dogs. Our mission is to help dogs live longer, healthier lives.
We're pioneering a new category of veterinary prescription drugs that proactively and preventatively target the underlying drivers of aging, delaying the onset of disease and preserving quality of life as dogs age. We've already made significant progress in our mission to develop the first FDA-approved drugs to extend canine lifespan: as of early 2026 we've completed two of three major FDA review sections for our lead program, LOY-002, and are targeting submission of the third and final section later this year.
Loyal is a well-funded startup with teams of scientists, veterinarians, engineers, operators, and creatives. You'll help us continue on our path of earning FDA approval for the first lifespan extension medicine for any species, and change what's possible for the dogs we love.
