Centricity Research is one of North America's largest clinical research networks and a fully centralized Integrated Research Organization (IRO). We conduct Phase I-IV clinical trials across more than 35 therapeutic areas, partnering with leading pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies to advance healthcare through innovative clinical research. Join our growing team and build a rewarding career while helping bring new treatments to patients.

We're looking for a Financial Analyst, FP&A; to support budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis across corporate and site-level cost centers. This remote Canada role will focus on recurring reporting, variance analysis, cash-flow management, and rolling forecasts while helping strengthen our growing FP&A; function. Over time, you'll grow into a trusted finance partner to operational, clinical, and site leaders.

You'll help maintain shared models, automate recurring reporting, and create helpful dashboards. Support the annual budgeting process and periodic re-forecasts, build and maintain rolling forecasts, and track variances to flag risks and opportunities early. Build and continuously improve financial models supporting site performance, study/trial economics, and new business cases, and develop KPI and unit-economics tracking (cost per site, trial margin, revenue per therapeutic area).

Serve as a trusted finance partner to operational, clinical, and site leaders, preparing monthly and quarterly business reviews with variance commentary and recommendations. Build dashboards and reporting packages in Excel, Power BI, or similar tools that give stakeholders self-service visibility into their numbers.

Team Collaboration: Work closely with other FP&A; analysts on the shared financial model, helping maintain data integrity and building repeatable analytics processes rather than one-off analyses.

FP&A; Function Buildout: Help establish core recurring tasks and best practices as the function matures,



including resource optimization analysis and integrated P&L;, balance sheet, and cash flow modeling. Have a Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field is preferred; Bring relevant experience or demonstrated capability in FP&A;, corporate finance, accounting, or a similarly analytical role. Early-career through experienced candidates are welcome.

Have strong Excel skills for your career stage, including lookups, pivot tables, SUMIFS, and sensitivity or scenario modeling, along with sound financial-modeling fundamentals. Have a solid grasp of core accounting and finance principles (P&L;, balance sheet, cash flow, unit economics). Communicate financial information clearly to non-finance audiences and build strong, collaborative working relationships.

Are proactive, adaptable, and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and contribute wherever help is needed.

Experience in healthcare, life sciences, biotech, pharma, or a clinical research organization (CRO/IRO/site network) is a plus, not a requirement. Familiarity with planning or BI tools such as Workday Adaptive Planning, Anaplan, NetSuite Planning and Budgeting, Power BI, or Tableau is an asset. Exposure to ERP systems such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or Microsoft Dynamics, or working knowledge of SQL, is an asset.

We connect people to scientific advancements through groundbreaking research within a deeply human experience.
