Job Description

RK Pharma is a growing pharmaceutical organization focused on developing and manufacturing high-quality, affordable drug products through disciplined execution and strong internal collaboration. We operate in regulated environments where financial accuracy, cost control, and thoughtful decision-making directly support quality and long-term sustainability. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is a key leadership role responsible for overseeing RK Pharma’s financial operations, strategy, and controls.

This role is intentionally suited for someone who may be stepping into the CFO seat for the first time — for example, a Controller or senior finance leader with strong pharmaceutical experience who is ready to expand scope and influence. The CFO at RK Pharma is expected to be hands-on, deeply familiar with the numbers, and comfortable working in a scrappy, growing environment where systems continue to mature.

Own and manage all financial operations including accounting, budgeting, forecasting, and reporting
Oversee cost accounting, inventory valuation, and margin analysis within a pharmaceutical manufacturing environment
Ensure accurate financial close processes and strong internal controls
Support pricing, product costing, and financial decision-making tied to manufacturing operations
Partner with Operations, Quality, and Supply Chain to support data-driven decisions
Lead cash flow management, working capital planning, and financial risk management
Support audits, compliance requirements, and financial reporting obligations
Develop and improve financial systems, processes, and controls as the organization grows
Provide clear, practical financial insight to executive leadership
Build and mentor the finance team as appropriate
Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field
Significant experience in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or regulated manufacturing environments
Strong background in cost accounting and manufacturing finance
Experience leading accounting or finance functions (for example, Controller or Senior Finance Manager)
Ability to translate financial data into practical business decision, presentations for M&A, and PE boards.

Experience supporting GMP manufacturing operations
Prior experience working closely with Quality, Operations, or Supply Chain teams
First-time CFO candidates with the right background are strongly encouraged to apply
This role is best suited for someone who values building and improving systems rather than inheriting perfect ones, being close to the work and the numbers, a collaborative and no-ego leadership culture, and stability and long-term impact over short-term polish.

This role may not be the right fit for someone seeking a highly resourced finance organization or a purely strategic, solely investor-facing CFO role. At RK Pharma, quality comes before speed. We value clear communication, disciplined execution, and leaders who stay grounded in the details while keeping an eye on the bigger picture. The CFO is expected to model calm, practical leadership and support sound decision-making across the organization. The opportunity to step into the CFO seat and grow with the organization
