NeuroClin is a long‑established leader in neurological research, with more than 25 years’ experience across Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Memory Impairment and a growing range of neurological and mental health conditions. Operating from state‑of‑the‑art facilities in Eurocentral and Warrington, the organisation is recognised for its expertise in early detection, diagnosis and the delivery of innovative, clinically proven treatments.

Alongside its established research activity, NeuroClin launched a new Private Testing, Diagnosis & Treatment service in 2025, strengthening its ability to support patients with emerging disease‑modifying therapies not yet available in the NHS. Backed by experienced private equity partners, the business is now entering a significant phase of expansion.

The core purpose of this role is to lead the Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) function within a dynamic and evolving healthcare organisation. This position will be instrumental in driving the company’s growth strategy as it expands beyond its core clinical research operations into new therapeutic areas, geographies and service lines - including private treatment offerings. The successful candidate will provide strategic financial leadership, guide investment decisions, and ensure long-term financial sustainability across both the research and treatment divisions.

Summary of main duties:

Strategic Financial Planning:

• Lead integrated financial planning across clinical trials and private treatment services
• Develop a multi-year integrated financial model (P&L, BS, CF) by service line
• Conduct scenario analysis for new service lines, including ROI and breakeven modelling
• Support strategic projects such as clinic launches and trial site acquisitions
• Align financial strategy with regulatory frameworks

Forecasting & Budgeting:

• Lead the annual budgeting cycle and rolling forecast process for both divisions, ensuring alignment with operational priorities and securing their endorsement
• Build and own a database of past contracts that underpin forecasting and support the creation of data rich marketing collateral
• Monitor cost structures and build pricing strategy for research and private treatments
• Provide insight and analysis including identification of risks and opportunities in the budgeting and forecasting process
• Own and maintain the company risk register

Performance Reporting:

• Deliver monthly MI packs with KPIs tailored to clinical research and treatment metrics
• Provide variance analysis and commentary for the senior leadership team and board
• Implement dashboards for real-time operational and financial insights

Business Partnering:

• Collaborate with Clinical Ops, Commercial, and Medical team to support financial decisions, ensuring they have access to accurate and value-added operational data and insight
• Build models to underpin commercial contracts and support legal in contract negotiations
• Collaborate cross-departmentally to identify areas where efficiency improvements in both profitability and working capital position can be made to drive performance, reduce cost, and enhance margins
• Work with Business Development Manager to build robust pipeline KPI reporting which feeds into rolling forecasts. This role will work closely with the BD and Operations to support weekly BD accountability meetings

The successful candidate will bring substantial FP&A experience and a natural ability to connect Finance and Operations, demonstrating sound judgement in identifying and leveraging meaningful data to enhance operational insights. This role will work closely with the CFO and will at times deputise; therefore, a broad finance skillset and the ability to build effective, collaborative relationships will be essential. The role will also offer exposure to the Board.
