Are you the kind of finance professional who actually wants to see the impact of their work, not just report on it?

Can you bring rigour and pace to a high-stakes reconciliation backlog in a global clinical research environment?

The Finance team at Cerba Research is looking for a Project Financial Analyst (PFA) to take ownership of financial reconciliations and manual billing across a portfolio of clinical studies. This is a fixed term role (12 months) with direct, measurable impact on revenue recovery and client confidence — sitting at the intersection of clinical operations and commercial delivery.
