Radicle Science is seeking a visionary, roll-up-your-sleeves Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to join our executive leadership team and serve as a key strategic partner to our founders and other senior executives. This is not your typical CFO role—it’s an opportunity to shape the financial architecture of a high-growth, multi-revenue stream company that’s building a category-defining business. You’ll bring financial clarity to complexity, optimize for scale, and help unlock new growth opportunities through data, discipline, and insight.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a trusted thought partner to the two co-founders and executive team—translating financial insights into strategic decisions across product, partnerships, operations, and growth.
• Lead capital strategy, scenario modeling, investor communications, and financial narratives to support future fundraising and potential M&A.

• Provide financial guidance on pricing models, licensing structures, and commercial terms for enterprise and SMB customers.
• Collaborate closely with Sales and Biz Dev teams to evaluate partnership economics and optimize sales incentive structures.
• Support data monetization strategies, helping to define how proprietary data can become a revenue-generating asset.

• Own key relationships with financial institutions, insurance brokers, and other external partners.
• Maintain oversight of legal, financial, and operational risks—and ensure Radicle is compliant with all financial reporting and regulatory requirements.

Qualifications

• Experienced: 10+ years in senior finance roles, including 5+ years in early- or growth-stage tech, healthtech, or data-driven companies.
• Venture Mindset: Scaled revenues from $10m to $50+m while raising A-C rounds

Radicle Science Background

Company: Named Fast Company 2023 “World Changing Idea”, Radicle Science is a health tech B-Corp pioneering the “Proof-as-a-Service” category to enable a future of personalized wellness, powered by proof. At unprecedented speed, affordability and precision, the Radicle Proof Engine™ Platform generates never-before-seen health data on non-pharmaceutical products (e.g. dietary supplements, functional foods & beverages) across diverse populations and health areas. Our datasets and AI models provide the first-of-its-kind proof on these non-prescription health products that consumers, brands, retailers, and healthcare systems have needed to transform their business and health. Our mission is to enable an abundant future of proven, personalized, natural health solutions available to all–you can learn more about it here in our mainstage talk at TED 2023.

Culture: We are growing quickly and seeking Rebels With a Cause to join our Rebellion against the status quo of healthcare. The company is remote but most employees are in Southern California. While preference is given to SoCal residents, remote employees from other geographies can be considered if you can work times that align with team needs and come in person to our quarterly retreats in So Cal. Change is CONSTANT in this work environment, and everyone pitches in to get the work completed. We work and play hard together virtually and in person at our quarterly in-person retreats. The hours are unconventional and flexible to accommodate collaboration across time zones, so if you are looking for a set schedule of 8 am – 5 pm; Monday through Friday, this is probably NOT a fit for you. The upside is you’ll get to work with some of the brightest, most creative and passionate people you’ll ever meet. Don’t just take our word for it, Radicle also topped Fast Company’s list of “Most Innovative Workplaces”. You can learn more about our culture here.

Team: Radicle is a team of ~30 and was cofounded by Dr. Jeff Chen, MD/MBA (physician-scientist, founded and led UCLA natural products research center) and Pelin Thorogood, M.Eng/MBA (serial tech executive & founder, Trustee & Vice Chair UCSD Foundation, INC 200 Female Founder). Advisors include Peter Diamandis (“50 Greatest World Leaders” by Fortune), Dr. Jonathan Fielding (Fielding School of Public Health at UCLA, White House Advisor), and Pamela Harbour (former Commissioner of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission).
