Director of Finance
Why you should join us
Solstice is redefining how life sciences organizations commercialize their therapeutics. We are building a commercial engine that empowers pharmaceutical marketers to launch campaigns at lightning speed, harnessing cutting-edge technology and AI-driven solutions. Our mission is to accelerate the knowledge of life saving medicines.
We have partnered with leading life sciences manufacturers, supporting 50+ pharma brands and growing quickly.
Our team experiments with LLMs and innovative frameworks, seeking to reshape pharmaceutical marketing and enhance commercial outcomes for our clients.
Backed by Transformation Capital, Twelve Below, Virtue, and the founders of industry-leading companies, we are assembling a world-class team of operators and technologists.
Building something great takes dedication and relentless drive. We seek ambitious leaders who thrive in high-ownership, high-impact environments.
As Finance Manager at Solstice, you will build and own our financial operations, reporting directly to the co-founders. You will be our first dedicated finance hire — responsible for standing up clean, audit-ready books, running payroll and compliance, and building the financial models and reporting our leadership team and board rely on. This is a hands-on, builder role: you won't inherit a finance function, you'll create one. You will:
Own the accounting function end-to-end, including monthly close, accounts payable and receivable, and financial statement accuracy.
Own invoicing and billing for our pharma brand clients, and drive accounts receivable collections — chasing down late payments, managing customer payment terms, and keeping days sales outstanding (DSO) in check.
Run payroll and ensure tax and regulatory compliance across all jurisdictions we operate in.
Build and maintain our core financial models, including a three-statement model, cash flow forecasts, and burn/runway tracking.
Design and implement financial controls, expense policy, and approval workflows as we scale headcount and spend.
Prepare board-ready reporting packages and partner with the co-founders on budgeting and financial planning.
Manage relationships with our bank, auditors, and any outside accounting or tax support.
Lay the groundwork for the systems and processes a growing finance team will build on.
This is a unique opportunity for candidates from many backgrounds, including:
This position is not all glamor. It involves a lot of behind-the-scenes work: reconciliations, policy-writing, and closing the books every month. Everyone at Solstice is a builder and is not afraid to lay the bricks themselves. This role is not for pure strategists — we are looking for doers.
How We Work
We are in person five days a week in our NYC office and work hard because building something exceptional demands focus and commitment. In exchange, you'll own high-impact projects, learn quickly, and collaborate with exceptional colleagues in a supportive culture.
Compensation
This is a highly competitive NYC-based role with salary and equity calibrated to your experience, seniority, and level of ownership. We benchmark against top-tier Series A startups to ensure our offers are both fair and compelling.
