Position Overview
Conformal Medical is expanding its finance team by hiring a Head of Accounting to report into the CFO in preparation for IPO. Medical device or Life Science experience is not a requirement at this time.
We are a Nashua, New Hampshire-based stroke prevention company developing a Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (LAAO) device that can quadruple the LAAO market. Following favorable data from two early feasibility studies, Conformal Medical has raised $120M from MedTech investors such as SPRIG Equity, Catalyst Health Ventures, Fidelity, and multiple corporate strategics to fund a 1600-patient pivotal trial with sites in the US and Europe. We are on track for explosive growth with the goal of pursuing an IPO.
We have partnered with Melissa Farina, CFO, to hire our Head of Accounting. This position will run all accounting activities and is a long-term accounting role that will support clinical, commercialization, and IPO efforts.
This is not an FP&A role. Prior M&A, IPO and SEC reporting experience are preferred. This position is based at Conformal’s headquarters with on-site presence preferred.
