Pillexa is a Canadian health technology group that builds, launches and runs direct to consumer telehealth brands. Our proprietary platform covers what a modern health brand needs: connecting patients with licensed physicians, prescriptions, payments, marketing and customer experience.
What we do across the group:
- Build and launch brands. We create telehealth brands from the ground up, hold their IP, and license them to operating companies. Today that spans emergency medication kits, prescription skincare and men's health, with more in development.
- Run the platform and services. Our team provides the technology, marketing and development that keep each brand growing after launch.
- Fulfil through our partner pharmacy. Our affiliated pharmacy dispenses and ships prescriptions for our own brands and for outside telehealth companies, including insurance billing in Canada.
We sell in Canada and the US, and we're growing on three fronts: new brands, new markets and current fulfilment partners. Each one adds entities, agreements and revenue streams, which is why finance sits at the centre of how we work.
How we work. We sit where technology meets healthcare, and we like breaking new ground in direct to consumer health. We experiment, move quickly and change course when the numbers say so. We're expanding into new countries, and as we grow, the people who build the foundations grow into the top roles.
The Role
We're hiring our first in house Controller to own the numbers across the Pillexa group, from the books to the decisions they drive. You'll report directly to our CEO, with a dotted line to our Head of Pharmacy and Medicine, and work with both from day one.
The group runs as several companies:
a holding company, a brand IP company, the Pillexa platform company, operating companies for each live brand, and a partner pharmacy that fulfils and invoices across the group. Money moves between them under licensing and service agreements. Today that system is run by outsourced bookkeeping, a fractional finance consultant and the founders. You'll own it end to end.
This is a hands on role, and you'll be the finance expert the whole company leans on. You'll close the books, run intercompany invoicing, keep us compliant, and tell us what each brand, channel and SKU earns. You'll set the targets our growth team works to, and work side by side with entrepreneurs who have built and scaled health companies before, so your numbers directly shape which brands we back and where we go next.
Success in the first year: every entity closes within 10 business days of month end, intercompany balances settle through invoices each month, filings go out on time, and leadership sees fully loaded CAC and contribution margin by channel without asking for it.
