PicnicHealth

<div>
 At PicnicHealth, we're building the future of non-interventional clinical research, and centered on patients. Our mission is to make it radically easier, faster, and more affordable to perform clinical trials and get better treatments to patients. We're replacing the legacy, services-heavy model with a modern, AI-first approach that unlocks insights from rich, multi-modal data&mdash;from clinical notes and imaging to lab results&mdash;at scale. By engaging patients directly through our personal health assistant, PicnicAI, which meets them where they&rsquo;re at and delights them along the way (with an industry leading NPS of 76), patients participate actively in the research they care about.
 
 
 PicnicHealth is already a trusted partner to 7 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies. Our work spans 40+ disease areas and has supported over 60 peer-reviewed publications, including an FDA submission that incorporates PicnicHealth data.
 
 
 Founded in 2014, we&rsquo;ve raised $100M+ from top investors like Amplify Partners, Felicis Ventures, B Capital Group, and Y Combinator. Our business running non-interventional studies more than doubled last year, and we&rsquo;re growing even faster in 2026. We&rsquo;re a team of doctors, patients, data nerds, engineers, and builders, reimagining how clinical research works &mdash; and we&rsquo;re just getting started!
 
 
 
 The Opportunity
 
 
 
 Join PicnicHealth as a Strategic Finance Associate on our small but mighty finance team. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role where you'll build the financial models, analyses, and insights that shape how we make decisions across the company. You'll partner directly with Sales, Marketing, Product, and Engineering, not just supporting them, but actively helping them see around corners.
 
 
 As an early member of the Strategic Finance team, you&rsquo;ll play an important role in helping scale and shape the function, developing processes, tools, and ways of working, while remaining deeply involved in execution. If you're energized by ambiguity, thrive when you own problems end-to-end, and want a front-row seat to strategic decisions, this is your role.
 
 
 At PicnicHealth, AI is at the core of everything we do. We're looking for individuals who are not just comfortable with, but genuinely excited by and actively experimenting with, the power and potential of AI.
 
 
 
 What You&rsquo;ll Do
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Support budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning processes, including financial model updates, variance analysis, and reporting;
 </li>
 <li>
 Build expertise in our financial metrics and unit economics to support data-driven decision-making across the business;
 </li>
 <li>
 Own analyses related to unit-level cost drivers, improving cost visibility and efficiency over time;
 </li>
 <li>
 Conduct analytical deep dives to inform decision-making across operations, and cost management as the business scales;
 </li>
 <li>
 Support the creation of board materials and ad hoc strategic analyses;
 </li>
 <li>
 Collaborate cross-functionally to develop financial analyses, tools, and processes that support Picnic Health&rsquo;s business goals; and
 </li>
 <li>
 Continuously improve our Strategic Finance toolkit as we scale
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 What You&rsquo;ll Bring
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 4+ years including experience in investment banking, M&amp;A, PE/VC and preferably 1+ years in strategic finance or FP&amp;A
 </li>
 <li>
 Strong financial modeling skills: you can build from scratch, not just tweak templates;
 </li>
 <li>
 Ability to translate complex analysis into clear, actionable recommendations;
 </li>
 <li>
 Proactive, detail-oriented, and solutions-driven attitude;
 </li>
 <li>
 Comfort with ambiguity and the pace of a scaling startup; and
 </li>
 <li>
 Interest in identifying and implementing practical ways to leverage AI to automate and scale finance processes and analyses
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 We expect all team members to be amazing in their roles and, ultimately, to move the PicnicHealth mission forward.
 
 
 
 What is clinical research and why will PicnicHealth win?
 
 
 
 Clinical research is the industry responsible for conducting studies to evaluate the effectiveness of drugs and treatments. Better trials lead to faster, more cost-effective drug development, ultimately resulting in more and improved treatments for patients. However, the process remains highly inefficient. Trials are a major bottleneck in drug development, and the promising advancements in biotech cannot translate to real patient impact unless clinical research becomes faster and more efficient
 
 
 The industry runs on outdated technology and manual processes. Research sites (hospitals, academic centers, doctors' offices) are overburdened and under-resourced. Contract research organizations (CROs), the organizations that traditionally run clinical trials for life sciences companies, typically throw hundreds-of-thousands of man-hours wrangling sites and cobbling together vendor software.
 
 
 PicnicHealth Has Built Technology That Uniquely Positions Us To Run Faster, Cheaper, And More Flexible Studies While Removing Burden From Sites
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 PicnicAI (trained on 350M+ clinician annotations over 100k+ patient records) is the only system that can effectively access and structure all participant EMR data trials need
 </li>
 <li>
 Our AI health assistant (NPS of 76 in 2024) guides participants through study activities and enables most to be done at home
 </li>
 <li>
 We're an integrated solution &mdash; virtual site, CRO, and software platform &mdash; with AI built in from the ground up, initially focusing on non-interventional research.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 The other perks &amp; benefits you get when you work at PicnicHealth
 
 
 
 We pay competitive salaries. Everyone on the team is an owner: all full time employees get competitive equity.
 
 
 Target Base Salary Range: $125K-$145K
 
 
 The base salary PicnicHealth offers may vary depending upon the scope, complexity, and autonomy of the position and on the candidate&rsquo;s job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
 
 
 We&rsquo;re a remote first company, with teammates spread across the US. We support in-person gatherings, including co-working spaces and multi-day onsites, to build connections and move forward strategic initiatives. Expect to travel 2-4 times a year. For our team members in the Bay Area, who prefer to work in person we can offer a hybrid set up to work from the SF office on a flexible schedule.
 
 
 
 You Also Get
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
