Company Profile

At Verastem Oncology, our purpose is to create a world where no cancer patient ever runs out of options. This commitment is central to who we are as a company and the culture we nurture. We are laser focused in our efforts to establish avutometinib + defactinib as the backbone of therapy for RAS-mediated tumors. We look for people who share our perspective; when others see only a problem, we see an opportunity, when others give up, we step up. We partner with global leaders (and their teams!) and these relationships help us to serve the patients who need us most. We appreciate your candidacy for the Verastem Oncology team, and encourage you to learn more at www.verastem.com.

  • Partner with executive leadership and the Board of Directors to provide transparent, actionable financial insights and reporting packages.
  • Direct the preparation of quarterly earnings materials, investor relations financial data, and board presentations.
  • Manage internal controls, accounting policies, and audit processes to safeguard company assets.
  • Support capital raising efforts, including equity and debt transactions, through scenario modeling and financial due diligence.
  • Drive operational efficiency across G&A functions by optimizing finance processes, systems, and resource allocation.
  • Mentor and develop finance staff, fostering a high-performance, collaborative culture.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field; MBA or CPA highly preferred.
  • 12+ years in progressive finance leadership roles, with significant experience in a public company environment.
  • Strong understanding of biotech industry financial drivers, including R&D capitalization, clinical trial budgeting, and commercialization economics.
  • Expertise in SEC reporting, internal controls, and GAAP compliance.
  • Demonstrated success managing both accounting and FP&A functions.
  • Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to influence at all organizational levels.
  • Proven ability to operate in a fast-paced, evolving environment, balancing strategic and tactical priorities.
  • We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities for professional growth. For more information about careers, benefits, and life at Verastem Oncology, visit Verastem.com or reach out to careers@verastem.com.
