Senior Manager, Commercial Accounting and Operations

Denali Therapeutics Inc. is a biotechnology company pioneering a new class of biotherapeutics designed to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) using its proprietary Transport

VehicleTM platform. With the first FDA-approved biologic specifically designed to cross the BBB, a clinically validated delivery platform and a growing portfolio of therapeutic candidates across all stages of development, we are advancing toward our goal of delivering effective medicines to transform the lives of people living with neurodegenerative diseases, lysosomal storage disorders and other serious diseases.
We invite you to consider an opportunity with Denali to help achieve our goal of delivering meaningful therapeutics to patients.  Reporting to the Director, Commercial Finance, this role owns day-to-day execution across the commercial revenue cycle for our first commercial product, including order management, order-to-cash, accounts receivable and credit management, pricing operations, revenue recognition and gross-to-net reserves, and commercial-cycle close and controls.

As the commercial footprint expands across products and geographies, this role is expected to build scalable, well-controlled processes rather than simply operate existing ones. This is a self-contributor role which expects to expand in the future as Denali scale and grow across the pipeline of drug candidates.
