About VectorY
VectorY is a fast-growing biotech company developing long-lasting therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, based at Amsterdam Science Park. We combine antibody engineering with innovative delivery technology to pursue new possibilities where medical need is high. With approximately 80 professionals across Amsterdam, Europe and the US, we are building momentum and scaling our organisation thoughtfully. At VectorY, innovation and collaboration are not just values. They are how we achieve our ambition. We believe the best ideas emerge when people challenge each other openly, work across boundaries, and stay focused on what is right for the organisation. We embrace diversity while striving to function as one cohesive, mission-driven team. As our organisation continues to grow through clinical development, so does the volume of day-to-day finance operations that need to run accurately and on time.
The Role
This is a hands-on opportunity for a finance professional early in their career who enjoys structure, accuracy and getting things done. As Junior Finance Operations Specialist, you will take ownership of the recurring operational and administrative processes within Finance, from purchase-to-pay to the weekly bank administration. Reporting to the Finance Specialist, you will make sure these processes are completed accurately and on time, so the rest of the Finance team can focus on budgeting, forecasting, management reporting and analysis. You will also support payroll administration, the annual audit and month-end and year-end closing.
Who You Are
You are structured, accurate and comfortable working with recurring deadlines. You take ownership and proactively follow up with colleagues, suppliers and external parties, while knowing when to escalate. You work independently, take a practical, hands-on approach and look for opportunities to make recurring processes work better.
This role is a great fit for you if...
You enjoy bringing order to the details. You get satisfaction from a clean administration, invoices that are paid on time and a bank reconciliation without open items. If you are looking for a role where you can build a solid foundation in finance operations in a growing international biotech company, this could be an excellent next step. What You'll Do
