Vice President, Controller

Summary

We are seeking a VP Corporate Controller to lead our accounting function as Immunic transitions from clinical-stage development to commercial operations.

Reporting to the Executive VP of Finance, you will lead the accounting team and own the close, SEC reporting, internal controls and gross-to-net revenue accounting, partnering closely with Commercial, Market Access and Trade/Distribution.

You will join us as we build the finance infrastructure, controls, systems and team needed for the anticipated U.S. launch of our first product. The ideal candidate combines deep commercial-stage gross-to-net expertise with a hands-on, builder mindset and must be based on the east coast with direct biotech experience through Phase III.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement and own gross-to-net (GTN) revenue accounting for our first commercial product, including reserves for chargebacks, rebates (commercial, Medicaid, Medicare Part D, 340B), distribution and data fees, co-pay assistance, returns and prompt-pay discounts.
• Develop audit-ready GTN estimation methodologies, roll-forwards and true-up processes, applying ASC 606 variable consideration principles.
• Partner with Market Access, Trade and Government Pricing to align contract terms, channel data and government pricing calculations (AMP, Best Price, ASP, Non-FAMP) with accounting.
• Establish inventory accounting and costing (ASC 330), including pre-launch inventory capitalization, standard costing, CMO/3PL reconciliations and excess/obsolescence reserves.
• Lead the monthly, quarterly and annual close, including clinical trial accruals, stock-based compensation, leases and other technical areas.
• Prepare and review Forms 10-Q and 10-K, footnotes and supporting schedules in partnership with the CFO and SEC reporting resources.
• Design and maintain a SOX-compliant internal control environment, scaling controls for new commercial processes (order-to-cash, GTN, inventory, procure-to-pay).
• Serve as primary liaison with external auditors for quarterly reviews and the annual audit, and prepare technical accounting memos (with external consultants as needed) for new transactions and commercial arrangements.
• Support the selection and implementation of a commercial-ready ERP and related systems, including GTN/revenue management and 3PL integrations.
• Build, lead and develop a high-performing accounting team, manage outsourced accounting partners, and partner with FP&A on budgeting, forecasting and launch-related financial analysis.

Qualifications & Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting; CPA (active or inactive) required.
• 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including Big 4 public accounting and public-company industry experience.
• Direct, hands-on gross-to-net accounting experience at a commercial-stage pharmaceutical or biotechnology company, including establishing or managing GTN reserves and accruals.
• Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP (particularly ASC 606 and ASC 330), SEC reporting requirements and SOX 404 compliance, including designing internal controls.
• Demonstrated ability to lead a close process and to manage and develop staff.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to partner cross-functionally with commercial and operational teams.
• A builder mindset: hands-on, detail-oriented and strategic, with high integrity, sound judgment and strong ownership in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
• Experience with Oracle NetSuite as an end user or administrator, ideally including a key role in a NetSuite implementation at a life sciences company preparing for commercialization, preferred.
• Experience with Workiva for SEC reporting (10-Q/10-K, XBRL tagging) preferred.
• Experience with a product launch, building commercial accounting processes from the ground up, preferred.
