  • Build and lead a high-performing clinical team to support ongoing and future programs.

Qualifications:

  • MD, PharmD or PhD with progressive industry experience in biotech or pharma clinical development.

  • Strong scientific background in autoimmune diseases.

  • Experience in early clinical development, particularly Phase 1-2 trials; IND authorship and regulatory interaction required.

  • Familiarity with cell therapy, antibody-based therapies, or other advanced biologics highly desirable.

  • Demonstrated leadership in cross-functional collaboration and clinical trial execution.

  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills; capable of influencing both internal and external stakeholders.

What We Offer:

  • Competitive compensation and a leadership seat at the table during a high-impact growth phase.
