ASTRALX INC and its holding company, NOVEXIS INC, are hiring a Chief Financial Officer to close the ASTRALX Series A, safeguard every investor dollar, and build the finance foundation for the rounds that follow across the group.

ASTRALX INC is a Delaware medical device company headquartered in Irvine, California, building a next-generation liposuction platform that unifies ultrasound-assisted (UAL) and power-assisted (PAL) liposuction with AI smart calibration in one ergonomic system. The company was co-founded by medtech operator Ewan Mohammed (CEO) and Dr. Alfredo Hoyos, pioneer of High-Definition Liposculpture (Chief Medical Officer), and launches in 2027 alongside the ASTRALX INSTITUTE™, a global network of surgeon-led training centers.

NOVEXIS INC is the Delaware holding company, headquartered in Irvine, that builds and scales the group's businesses and brings new ideas to market. The CFO starts with ASTRALX and then extends the same financial discipline across NOVEXIS.

The CFO owns financial integrity end to end at both companies: the capital raise, the controls that protect it, the reporting investors rely on, and the plan that turns funding into regulatory and commercial milestones.

We are actively raising our Series A from accredited investors, and our investors are trusting us with capital before first revenue. This hire exists so that trust is earned every day, not just at closing.

• Close the Series A, then go further.Bring the round to a clean close and position the company for an extension, follow-on, or Series B on stronger terms.
• Protect investor money.Every dollar is tracked against the stated use of proceeds: product development, regulatory activities, manufacturing scale-up, commercial readiness, and working capital.
• Be the investor's independent check.The CFO gives the Board and shareholders accurate, timely numbers and raises concerns directly when spending, risk, or reporting drift from plan.

• Own investor communications: quarterly updates, annual reports, and timely answers to investor questions.
• Maintain the cap table, option pool, and 409A valuations, and model dilution for every proposed financing.

• Design and enforce internal controls from day one: segregation of duties, dual approval on payments above set thresholds, and documented spending authority.
• Track use of proceeds against the plan presented to investors and report any variance to the Board.
• Manage banking and treasury: cash runway, safe and diversified cash management, and authorized signers.
• Partner with securities counsel on Regulation D compliance, Form D and state filings, and investor rights such as information rights and pro-rata.
• Prepare Board materials, support the Audit Committee once formed, and keep corporate records investor-ready.

• Own the operating model and annual budget, tied to regulatory and product…
