Viome Life Sciences

Bellevue, WA

Vice President of Finance

Location: Bellevue, WA

Reports to: CEO & President

Why this Role Matters

Imagine joining a high-growth Life Sciences company that's transforming the way consumers engage with their health. With 100% year-over-year growth and an IPO on the horizon (18-24 months), this is an opportunity to build and lead the financial strategy for a game-changing company.

Viome Life Sciences is a pioneering biotechnology company dedicated to digitizing, decoding, and deciphering human biology to prevent, treat, and cure chronic diseases and cancer. By analyzing gene expressions (RNA), Viome provides individuals with personalized health insights and precision nutrition recommendations. The company’s mission is to make illness optional by understanding human biology at a molecular level, focusing on the dynamic interplay between microbial and human gene expression.

Viome’s business model is unique in the Life Sciences space—direct-to-consumer (DTC) e-commerce sales via its website and Amazon drive its revenue streams. Unlike traditional biotech firms that rely on institutional clients or healthcare systems, Viome’s success depends on its ability to scale digital marketing, optimize conversion rates, and increase customer lifetime value (LTV) while managing customer acquisition costs (CAC).
