Responsibilities

Panther is entering a new and exciting phase in the development of our products. We're preparing to launch the first of several commercial products, advancing a pipeline of therapeutics, and getting ready to scale manufacturing from thousands to millions of units a month. We're looking for an exceptional finance leader who wants to be at the center of all of it.
This isn't a narrow back-office role. As Panther's first VP of Finance, you'll be the CEO's and the Board's partner on every financial question the company faces: how we plan, where we invest, how we structure partnerships, and how we fund our growth. You'll build the finance function from the ground up (the team, the systems and controls, and a sharp view of the economics behind every product we make), and then use it to help steer the company.
We're looking for a go-getter with range. You're as comfortable presenting to the Board as you are building the model behind the presentation. Your default is to roll up your sleeves, and you see finance as a seat at the leadership table, not a support function. This role offers a path to CFO.
The Impact You'll Make in Your First Year
Build out the team, starting with a Director of Finance and a Financial Analyst.
Select and implement an ERP as the company's system of record, with the chart of accounts, item master and cost structure designed by you.
Put standard costing and BOM-level unit economics in place for our first commercial product ahead of launch, including a clear view of cost at scale.
Deliver a reliable monthly close, a budget and rolling forecast, and a Board reporting package that leadership trusts.
Play a central role in closing our Series B, owning the financial model, data room and diligence process.
Build the Finance Function
Design the finance organization and develop the team, while personally building the models, running the analyses and setting up the processes as the team grows.
Establish accounting policies, internal controls and the monthly close.
