As an early member of our Finance team, you’ll have a key role in rebuilding our country’s most important and most broken industry from first principles. You will be a key factor in helping leadership make crucial business decisions and will be navigating through the most impactful problems we have as a company.

You Will:

Scale the accounting and financial operations
Own, execute and automate all key accounting and finance operations processes, including order-to-cash, procure to pay, hire to retire, and record to report
Partner with engineers, product managers, and operators to build out and implement financial systems and strategic infrastructure investments
Leverage technology and design to build scalable & efficient finance processes
Develop and execute key accounting policies and controls for our company
Build relationships with cross-disciplinary teams of physicians, designers, and engineers to enable rapid scaling of the business

You Are:

Impact-Driven - You’re deeply mission-driven, and you think there’s more to life than software that enables puppy ears to be superimposed in photos. (Although we concede those are cute.)
Entrepreneurial - You’re a self-starter who loves to own things end-to-end. You don’t ask for permission - you’re too busy making things happen.
A Good Helicopter - You can alternate between 10,000 foot and 10-foot views easily, and at the right time. Creating and communicating the roadmap for a long-term cross-functional project? Diving into a detailed and thorough data investigation? All in a day’s work.
An Operational Wizard- You have a deep understanding of how to break down and solve complex, ambiguous problems with a demonstrated track of building efficient, scalable processes
A Leader - You’re kind, collaborative and humble. Teams want to be in the trenches with you, and to build something great by your side.

Collaborative style and ability to work with cross-functional teams and vendors
Exceptional analytical and structured problem-solving skills
Excellent communication (both written and oral)
BA/BS required

WHY JOIN FORWARD?

We don’t want to just move dollars around the healthcare industry - we want to rebuild it and fix it. All of it. You’d be a major part of the story behind one of the most ambitious startup attempts of the past decade and you’d work with a team of people who want to use their talents for good.
