Who You Are

BBOT is seeking a highly experienced Associate Director, IT - G&A Business Partner to provide strategic leadership and operational oversight of enterprise G&A business systems and SOX IT compliance. This role will be responsible for ensuring that systems supporting Finance, HR, Legal, Procurement, and Corporate Operations are scalable, well-controlled, and fully compliant with SOX IT requirements.

This role has primary IT ownership of the company’s NetSuite ERP and Paylocity HRIS/Payroll platforms, including system governance, controls, integrations, and audit readiness. The ideal candidate brings deep hands-on experience with these platforms in a SOX-regulated environment and a strong ability to partner cross-functionally in a fast-paced biotech organization.

As the work environment is dynamic and matrixed, and the organization relatively small but growing rapidly, the candidate should be highly self-motivated, and be a self-starter who understands and knows how to manage deliverables to completion. The ability to work independently, establish and maintain relationships with both business stakeholders and technology counterparts will be critical to the success of this role.
