Neurotech Pharmaceuticals is an innovative biopharmaceutical company located in Cumberland, RI, within the realm of Greater Boston’s vast biotechnology landscape. Since our inception more than 20 years ago, we have been developing a proprietary biological drug device combination technology for treatment of a variety of retinal disorders. Our most advanced program is developing a treatment for the orphan disease Macular Telangiectasia Type 2 (MacTel). Our Encapsulated Cell Technology (ECT) platform is designed to deliver a genetically modified neuroprotective factor to slow the progression of this chronic retinal disease.

Reporting to the CEO, the Chief Financial Officer is a critical executive leadership role that ties directly to the success of the company.

The CFO will be a decisive, hands-on, strategic business partner with exceptional financial leadership and project management skills who will achieve the desired results through articulating a clear vision, cross-functional collaboration and effective influence with all levels of internal/external stakeholders.

Ultimately, we are seeking a sophisticated financial expert who will quickly build trust with and gain the respect of the company, leadership team, Board of Directors and other financial professionals with whom Neurotech partners.
