We're scaling fast (grew 4x last year), fueled by enterprise engagements with the top IVD manufacturers in the world. For a small team, we punch way above our weight. RDI has become the go-to CRO for large public diagnostics companies who rely on our creativity, tech-forward systems, and zero-excuses accountability to get trials done quickly and done right.

We're a fully integrated IVD CRO — a high‑complexity CLIA lab, a technology-enabled CRO, and a national physician + lab network under one roof. This lets us run clinical trials with a level of speed and operational precision the industry isn't used to.

We've been doing this for over a decade. Founded in 2008, professionalized in 2017 through a search fund acquisition, and expanded aggressively through 2022‑2024 growth investment, built on a physician network sourced from real insurance claims data and strengthened by CAP accreditation.

You're joining at the exact right moment. We're a lean, high‑velocity team (:20 people) hitting the "design → run → scale" phase — the point where the right systems and the right leaders change the entire trajectory of the company.

You are a builder. In this role, you will build critical systems that allow RDI to grow and maintain its standards as it grows. You will use finance as a way of thinking to improve our accounting, pricing, and our people and tech systems.

• Lead RDI's full transition from cash accounting to GAAP
• Build a repeatable monthly close process with defensible documentation
• Develop revenue recognition rules appropriate for complex, milestone-driven clinical projects
• Implement project-level accounting tied to each clinical trial, including time‑cards and cost allocation

• Rebuild the quote-to-cash architecture across all trials
• Maintain real-time visibility into margin drivers, resource allocation, and project profitability
• Refine pricing strategy with Operations and CEO

• Own and maintain RDI's 100+ line CRO bid grid
• Lead costing, pricing, margin modeling, and proposal strategy for major commercial opportunities
• Introduce discipline and standardization to bid process

• Own all banking relationships and credit reporting
• Deliver monthly investor and board reporting packages with accuracy and clarity

• Help plan and budget for the new hires we need to grow
• Find those people (either yourself or through our HR partners / external recruiter)
• Onboard them, and help keep them happy (using our people management tool, Lattice)

• Oversee outsourced AP, AR, payroll, accruals, and cost tracking functions
• Evaluate building our own internal accounting team as the company scales
• Strengthen internal controls, financial policies, and compliance frameworks

• Assist CEO to develop and improve RDI's Salesforce‑based systems across Operations and Finance
• Oversee third‑party vendors for Salesforce development and managing our clinical infrastructure of iPads and Scanners
• Manage user permissions and compliance with FDA regulations (backup and data integrity) alongside tech vendors

• You are a direct, fact‑based communicator
• You treat finance like the scientific method of business building, rigorous, structured, and evidence‑driven
• You have built financial systems from scratch in fast‑growing companies
• You understand the operational complexity of project‑based businesses (CRO, consulting, engineering, clinical research, etc.)
• You can move between strategic and tactical work fluidly, building models one hour and negotiating banking terms the next
• You write clearly, communicate directly, and operate with precision
• You don't outsource accountability; you own outcomes fully
• You thrive in ambiguity and build structure where none…
