About this role
About Synapticure
Synapticure is the largest, most comprehensive specialty care and life sciences company in the country for those living with neurodegenerative diseases. Founded by patients and caregivers living with these diseases, we are redefining the care and the research paradigm for conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS in all 50 states.
Our business is powered by two connected engines.
The CARES Engine (Clinical Operations)
A scalable, 50-state virtualized clinical network providing timely access to expert neurologists and cutting edge treatments with wraparound care coordination and behavioral health support. Our team creates personalized care plans focused on education and empowerment, connecting patients with a multidisciplinary team of subspecialty neurologists, geriatricians, psychologists, and care coordinators who collaborate to deliver comprehensive care.
The CURES Engine (Research & Innovation)
Leveraging our deeply engaged, well characterized national patient cohort, CURES partners with life science, pharma, biotech, and medical device companies to accelerate the development of neurodegenerative treatments, spanning discovery stage lab services, clinical trial services, and real world evidence data and analytics.
Partnering with providers, health plans, and life sciences companies, including CMS' GUIDE dementia care model, Synapticure is dedicated to transforming the lives of millions of individuals and their families living with neurodegenerative diseases.
Our Values
We are a remote-first company. While our team is located all across the United States, these core principles tie us together around a common identity:
- Relentless focus on patients and caregivers: We are determined to provide an exceptional experience for every patient we have the privilege to serve, and we put our patients first in everything we do.
- Embody the spirit and humanity of those living with neurodegenerative disease: Inspired by our founders, families, and personal experiences, we recognize the seriousness of our patients' circumstances and meet that challenge every day with empathy, compassion, kindness, joy, and hope.
- Seek to understand, and stay curious: We start by listening to one another, our partners, our patients, and their caregivers. We communicate with authenticity and humility, prioritizing honesty and directness while recognizing we always have something to learn.
- Embrace the opportunity: We are energized by the importance of our mission and maintain a strong bias toward action.
Benefits & Perks
Full time employees are eligible for:
- Remote First: Work from anywhere in the 50 United States, with home office technology provided.
- Comprehensive Healthcare: Medical, dental, and vision insurance options for you and your family.
- Financial & Retirement Support: 401(k) plan with employer matching, plus short and long-term disability, and basic and supplemental life insurance.
- Time Off & Leave: 15 vacation days, 5 sick days, 12 paid holidays, and 2 floating holidays, plus a fully paid end-of-year company holiday break (typically Christmas through New Year's).

About the Role
As the Finance Director, you will serve as the strategic pillar for Synapticure’s forward-looking financial runway. Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), you will own enterprise-wide financial forecasting, corporate budgeting, and strategic modeling processes.
This role requires a forward-thinking, highly strategic builder rather than a traditional financial reporter. You will act as a critical translator—synthesizing big, open-minded ideas from our growth team into robust financial frameworks, while integrating them seamlessly into our master model. You will work cross-functionally to evaluate new payer partnerships, care delivery models, and grant-funding streams. This is a high-impact role perfect for a finance leader who thrives in a fast-paced, early-stage environment.
