Job Description

Why RDI

We’re scaling fast — from ~$5M in revenue toward $15–20M in the next 2–3 years, 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, and expanded aggressively through 2022–2024, 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.

About the Role

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 way of thinking to improve our accounting, pricing, and our people and tech systems.

Key Responsibilities

Finance & GAAP Conversion

  • 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.

Project Accounting & Quote-to-Cash

  • 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.

    • Pricing & Contracts

  • 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.

    • Banking & Investor Relations

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

    • HR / People Operations

  • 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)

    • Accounting Team Leadership

  • 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.

    • IT

  • 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 regluations (backup and data integrity) alongside tech vendors.

    • Requirements

    Who You Are

  • 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 exists.

    • Year One Success Looks Like

  • GAAP conversion complete and fully adopted.
  • Monthly reporting that leadership and investors trust.
  • Project-level accounting rolled out across all trials.
  • Accurate and timely bank reporting delivered every month.
  • CRO bid grid standardized and used consistently.
  • Cross-system workflows functional across Finance, HR, Ops, and IT.

    • Benefits

  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
  • Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
  • Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
