## 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
