About PECA Labs

PECA Labs is a fast-growing medical device startup building next-generation polymeric cardiovascular implants .

We’re hiring a Director of Finance who can grow into CFO as the company scales.

What you’ll do

Own the finance function end-to-end (and in the weeds)

• Lead FP&A, budgeting/forecasting, cash management, board/investor reporting, and scenario modeling.
• Provide accounting oversight from highest to lowest levels : monthly close, revenue recognition, inventory/cost accounting for device manufacturing, fixed assets, payroll, AR/AP, procure-to-pay, audits, and compliance.
• Maintain and reconcile multiple corporate books/entities concurrently (domestic & international as applicable); consolidate accurately and on time.
• Optimize ERP and controls that scale; ensure audit readiness and GAAP compliance.

Capital strategy & fundraising

• Partner with the team on equity and non-dilutive financing.
• Prepare models, narratives, and data rooms; manage diligence.
• Leverage your own network (VCs, strategics, lenders, grant-makers) for intros and momentum.

Strategic & operational partnership

• Build dashboards/KPIs across R&D, clinical, quality/regulatory, manufacturing, and commercial.
• Support pricing, gross-to-net, reimbursement, and contracting strategy.
• Model clinical study budgets and timelines; evaluate ROI for new indications/geographies.
• Thrive in a small team with big responsibility —roll up sleeves, set priorities, and ship.

People & hiring

• Stand up and lead a small finance/accounting team as we scale; use your network to help recruit key hires and external partners (banks, auditors, consultants).

You might be a great fit if you have

• 8–15+ years in finance with increasing scope (startup/scale-up med device, biotech, or advanced manufacturing strongly preferred).
• Mastery of FP&A and hands-on accounting ; you’re as comfortable architecting a model as you are closing the books.
• Experience running multi-entity accounting and consolidations; confident with ERP implementations.
• Demonstrated success raising capital and closing transactions; an active network you can activate.
• Fluency in device/manufacturing realities: inventory & cost accounting (COGS, yields, scrap), clinical finance, quality/regulatory milestone planning, and reimbursement economics.
• Clear communication, high ownership, and the desire to grow into a CFO role.
• CPA and/or MBA a plus (not required).
