- Sr. Analyst, R&D Finance
Description
The Role
Trevi's R&D Finance team sits at the intersection of clinical development and corporate finance — embedded within the Development organization, closely connected to the broader Finance function, and uniquely positioned to work across both. We are looking for a Senior Analyst to join this team and take on a growing portfolio of clinical contracting and finance work across multiple active studies. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role for someone equally comfortable reviewing a site budget, tracking study-level spending, and managing patient payments — and who takes pride in doing all of it accurately and efficiently.
The near-term focus is clinical site contracting, with vendor contract management and other responsibilities expanding in scope over time. This role is a great fit for someone who is detail-oriented, dependable, and excels at executing in a collaborative environment.
What You’ll Do
- Review and reconcile clinical trial agreements (CTAs) and site budgets across contract versions — checking arithmetic accuracy, unit cost consistency, and amendment terms
- Track CTA and clinical site budget status across a portfolio of clinical sites; proactively follow up to keep contracting milestones on schedule
- Support patient payments operations, including working with the patient payment platform and ensuring accurate, timely disbursements to study participants
- Review vendor change orders, work orders, and SOW amendments for accuracy and consistency with executed agreements
- Support study-level budget tracking and variance analysis — monitoring spend against plan, flagging variances, and helping keep forecasts current Identify and flag discrepancies between contracts, budgets, and payments
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Clinical Operations, Legal, Finance colleagues, and external vendors, as study needs evolve
- Additional duties as required
What This Role Is Not
To set clear expectations: this is not a legal or contract negotiation role (you’ll review and flag, not draft from scratch), not a clinical operations coordinator role (no site relationship ownership or study startup), and not a strategic FP&A role (the value here is accuracy and throughput, not modeling or forecasting). If you’re looking to grow into those areas over time, there is room for that — but the core of this job is excellent execution.
Requirements
What You Bring
- High school diploma or GED certificate required. Bachelor’s degree preferred
- 3+ years of experience in a finance, accounting, or contracts-adjacent role; biopharma or CRO background is a plus but not required — we’re happy to teach the clinical context to the right candidate
- Hands-on experience with contracts and budgets — reviewing for accuracy and communicating directly with site contactsExperience with budget tracking and variance analysis — monitoring actuals against plan and communicating clearly on variances
- Working familiarity with vendor contracts (SOWs, MSAs, change orders) — you don’t need to have owned this work, but you should understand how it’s structured
- Some financial operations experience (billing, payments) is a differentiator; patient payments platform exposure is a bonus
- Operationally fluent across Excel and finance systems, with an eye for where smarter tooling or process changes can reduce friction
Who You Are
This role calls for a genuine generalist athlete — someone who takes pride in being able to pick up whatever is in front of them, whether that is a new contract type, a new vendor, or a new process that did not exist last quarter.
- Adaptable and receptive to feedback — adjusts quickly as priorities shift and approaches new challenges with a learner's mindset
- Team-oriented — understands that in a lean, clinical-stage company, everyone’s success is shared; willing to cover gaps and collaborate across functions
- High-volume capable without losing accuracy — can move fast and stay detail-oriented at the same timeProactive by default — tracks open items, follows up without being prompted, flags issues before they become problems
- Exercises good judgment on when to resolve issues independently and when to escalate — communicates with clarity and professionalism across internal and external stakeholders
