Head of Strategic Finance
Posted 4 days 23 hours ago by Lindus Health Limited
Our mission
We're powering biology's century with radically faster, more reliable clinical trials. Every new treatment needs clinical trials to prove safety and efficacy, but today's infrastructure is outdated-driving up costs, causing delays, and preventing new treatments from reaching patients. We're transforming this process-aiming not just to be a "better CRO," but to change how treatments are developed, so patients can access breakthroughs faster.
Our impact speaks for itself: Since March 2021, we've powered over 100 clinical trials involving tens of thousands of patients. We recently raised a $55M Series B funding round from Balderton Capital, with backing from Creandum, Firstminute, Seedcamp, and Visionaries.
What's it like to work here?
Joining us means experiencing:
High-Impact, Mission-Driven Work: Lindus Health is disrupting an outdated industry, giving you the opportunity to directly improve patients' lives and see tangible results from your efforts.
Fast-Paced Growth & Ownership: We value results and hard work. You'll take on real responsibilities, work across departments, and influence the company's success.
Collaborative, No-Ego Culture: Collaborate with smart, driven colleagues in a supportive, informal environment. We break down silos, value fun, and encourage creativity.
Ready to power biology's future? We'd love to hear from you.
