Analyze clinical trial expense variances against study operational metrics (e.g., enrollment rates, site activations, protocol amendments, vendor activity) to determine whether variances are temporary in nature or reflect permanent, structural changes to the cost profile of a study
Partner with Clinical Operations study managers to understand study plan pivots, enrollment challenges, vendor performance issues, and other factors driving financial deviations; synthesize this context into clear assessments for the Director and senior leadership
Monitor clinical trial performance metrics and proactively flag situations where operational developments are likely to have near-term or long-term financial implications
Support preparation of variance commentary and study-level financial summaries that contextualize expenses against study status and operational dynamics
Budgeting & Forecasting:
Support the Director in reviewing and validating clinical trial expense projections generated through the Condor system, ensuring that the right operational inputs are reflected and outputs are reasonable given study dynamics
Assist in updating forecasts to reflect evolving study circumstances, including enrollment challenges, protocol amendments, vendor changes, and other pivots common in clinical development
Provide key input to periodic financial reviews by preparing variance commentary and supporting materials
Support scenario analysis by helping to assess the financial impact of potential study-level changes or risks identified through Clinical Operations partnerships
Financial Analysis & Reporting:
Conduct analysis of clinical development costs, evaluating variances and ensuring that financial performance is contextualized against study operational metrics rather than reviewed in isolation
Assist in preparing financial reports and materials for the Director and senior leadership, highlighting key expense trends, risks, and study-level dynamics
Support development of metrics, analytics, and reporting templates that improve the team's ability to communicate clinical financial performance in a clear, operationally grounded way
Develop models and gather data to streamline our "storytelling" and to create internal benchmarks
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
Build working-level relationships with Clinical Operations study managers to establish regular cadences for gathering study updates, plan changes, and contextual information relevant to expense analysis
Collaborate with Accounting to interrogate actuals data, understand the impact of accounting treatments on reported clinical expenses, and flag areas of concern to the Director
Work across the clinical organization, accounting, outsourcing, and other functions - without limitation to any specific therapeutic area or segment - to integrate operational context

In 2015, we pioneered a "moneyball for biotech" approach, pooling projects and promising early-stage research from academia together under one financial umbrella to reduce risk and unleash innovation. This model allows science and small teams of experts to lead the way. We build bridges to groundbreaking advancements in rare disease, and develop life-changing medicines for patients with unmet needs as fast as humanly possible.
Together we define white space, push boundaries, and empower people to solve problems. If you're someone who defies convention, join us and work alongside some of the most respected minds in the industry. Together, we'll ask "why not?" and help reengineer the future of biopharma. At BridgeBio, we value curiosity and experimentation-including the ethical & thoughtful use of AI to improve clarity, speed, and quality of work.
