The Company

Harmonic are delighted to be partnering exclusively with an exciting London-based Biotech start-up to recruit a Finance Manager.

This company recently achieved "public" status in the US and will be aiming for a dual listing with another soon to happen in the UK. This business specialises in the development of game-changing medical treatment for a very common (severely undiagnosed) health condition; earlier in the year, another business within their group was lauded for its contribution to the combat against Covid-19.

This start-up has a small team across the UK and US and you will play a key role in supporting the CFO and Board. The company have several very exciting plans in the short to mid-term that could help expand their portfolio whilst offering plenty of career progression opportunities for you.

This businesses' HQ is in Central London. You will be working on a hybrid-working model with 3 days in the office and 2 from home.

• Statutory financial reporting
• Cashflow forecasting and budgeting
