Description

Layer Health was founded in 2023 by leading machine learning researchers from MIT and Harvard Medical School. We are building an AI layer that can accurately and scalably synthesize information from medical records, with the mission to reduce friction everywhere in healthcare. Our LLM-powered platform is solving chart review once and for all, across use cases. For health systems, our first product dramatically accelerates clinical registry abstraction in areas ranging from surgery and cardiology, to oncology. Our long term vision is for our AI layer to safely transform patient care and minimize unnecessary heartbreak. Layer Health’s diverse founding team brings expertise across machine learning, UI/UX, large language models, and medicine.

Here’s a collection of articles about our product, mission, recent funding round, etc.

We're currently hiring a Head of Finance to be the senior financial mind inside the company — reporting to the Head of Operations and working directly with the CEO and board. This is a rare kind of seat: outsized ownership over a company's financial trajectory at a genuine inflection point, with a clear path to grow into more responsibility as the company scales.

THE OPPORTUNITY

  • Own the financial narrative. Today, critical financial modeling and reporting are being pieced together ad hoc by leaders who have other full-time jobs to do. You'll build the frameworks and models that make sense of a business scaling this fast, and turn it into a story the board and investors can trust.
  • Be the person who goes deeper than anyone else. Leadership needs someone who won't settle for a topline number — who will dig into what's actually driving spend, growth, or risk, and surface the real answer before it becomes a problem or lost opportunity.
  • Sit at the center of capital strategy. As the company prepares for its next raise, you'll work directly with the CEO, leadership and board to shape how Layer's financial story gets told — and get real exposure to what a raise looks like from the inside.
  • Grow into more. This is an early, high-trust seat on a small team. As you prove yourself, there's a real path to taking on more scope and seniority as the company scales toward and past its Series B.

YOUR BACKGROUND

  • 5+ years start up, investment banking, private equity, venture capital, or corporate finance.
  • Willing and able to work with the key financial and operational systems needed to run a high-performing finance and accounting function.
  • You work well across the organization — partnering with Sales, Legal, Operations, and Tech leadership to manage contracts, negotiate vendors, and keep the business running efficiently.
  • Highly detail-oriented — you don't just trust the model, you understand what's underneath it.
  • A sharp, confident communicator who can hold their own in a room with experienced investors.
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field.
  • Direct exposure to a fundraising, M&A, or due diligence process is a plus.

Expected compensation range for this role is $160,000 -$200,000. Compensation is dependent on experience and overall fit to our role. Expected compensation ranges for this role may change over time. If your compensation requirement is greater than our posted salary ranges, please still consider applying to our role. We will make a determination as to whether an exception can be made.

If you are excited about this role, we encourage you to apply even if you don't feel that you meet every single requirement. We're eager to meet people that believe in our mission and can contribute to our team in a variety of ways. We welcome diverse perspectives, rigorous thinking, and fearlessness in challenging the status quo.
