You are a talented expert in the area of Immunology and Drug Development. You will have extensive experience building and guiding a portfolio of therapeutics in the Inflammation and Immunology space, including direct experience with discovery through late-stage research and candidate selection, program leadership, regulatory filings, and working with cross functional partners in portfolio, clinical, and business development teams to position our small molecules for success in the clinic. You will have a sustained record of being a strategic thinker and a thoughtful people leader.

As a member of the Pipeline team, you will report to the CSO.

You get to collaborate on:

Contribute as the indication expert for multiple early discovery programs related to immunology (including dermatological, gut, and neurological inflammatory diseases).
Work both independently and as part of a collaborative team in multiple geographies to design and execute experiments for hits identified from our platform.
Work with Business Development and Clinical teams to identify key program requirements (eg. benchmarks, differentiators, MOA, target validation and secondary assays/in vivo models, etc.).
Communicate the status of projects, challenges, results, and proposed paths forward across partners, teams, and time zones.
Proactively identify and lead the team in troubleshooting any impediments of the program.
Participate in cross-functional team activities, provide training support for a rapidly growing team of scientists to help us grow our uniquely talented team.
Be a thoughtful and creative leader of therapeutic research in immunology and inflammatory diseases (including dermatological, gut, and neurological inflammatory diseases).
Be the go-to expert in discovery through late-stage research in inflammatory diseases. Conceptualize and lead the scientific strategy therapeutic research programs into early clinical development including assay development, connecting the dots across in vitro and in vivo assays, developing a translational medicine strategy, incorporating clinical feedback into non-clinical study design, endpoints, safety evaluations and dose selections.
Be a strategic thought partner in development of therapeutics from ideation of the therapeutic hypothesis through IND filings and phase 1.
Identify and advance new opportunities, targets, and modalities and be an expert resource to guide BD opportunities.
