At Convergent Research we aim to accelerate global scientific progress towards solutions that will improve human health, combat climate change and boost global prosperity. We achieve this by filling a structural gap in today’s R&D system. We empower top scientific talent as teams, Focused Research Organizations, to focus on developing a specific tool or dataset for a 5 year sprint that will enable researchers around the world to adapt these systems and catalyze solutions to some of our most challenging diseases and complex environmental challenges. We are structured as an incubator and accelerator and are part of the Schmidt Future Networks.
The role
Convergent Research is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that is the parent of a series of the coolest moonshot science projects you’ve ever heard of - brain mapping, non-model organisms (think microbes that pull CO2 out of the atmosphere or can scrub radiation, etc.), mapping the pharmome, investigating what proteins make up cells. We currently have an annual budget north of 70MM/year and expect this to grow. We receive private and federal grants. We track all the projects separately. We report everything on one 990. We frequently apply for new grants and report back to our funders. We also help 10 (and soon more) nonprofit tech startups run their business.
We need someone to steer the financial part of this boat. We’re looking to hire a seasoned Head of Finance to work with our internal team and external accountants and auditors. That person will get to help design a scalable system to support many future FROs, work to help coach these projects on financial literacy, and make sure that we’re super duper compliant.
