I’m partnering with a pioneering early-stage biotech developing first-in-class in vivo CAR-T therapies with proprietary IP and a clear path to clinic. This is a unique opportunity to join at a formative stage, where your decisions directly shape the trajectory of a breakthrough therapeutic platform.
Working closely with the CSO and founding team , you will lead cross-functional project management from preclinical development through to key strategic milestones. This is a role for someone who combines deep scientific understanding with operational excellence in cell & gene therapy , ideally CAR-T, gained in a biotech setting.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and coordinate cross-functional projects from early discovery through preclinical development
Manage CROs and vendors, ensuring quality, speed, and value in delivery
Develop and maintain project plans, budgets, and timelines aligned to strategic goals
Proactively identify risks, troubleshoot challenges, and keep programs on track
Support strategic initiatives including fundraising preparation and partnering activities
Drive clear communication across teams, turning complex data into actionable insights for leadership
About You
Essential: Experience in cell & gene therapy (CAR-T strongly preferred) within a biotech environment is essential. Pure industry or academia is not the right background for this role.
Strong grounding in oncology or immunology
Proven success managing complex, multi-stakeholder life science projects from an operational perspective (not just scientific)
MSc or higher in biochemistry, immunology, virology, or related field
Confident in budget management, vendor oversight, and project governance
Clear communicator who can bridge scientific and business priorities in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial setting
Why Join?
Be part of a scientifically exceptional team with a truly novel therapeutic approach
Work directly with founders on high-impact programs at the cutting edge of immuno-oncology
Influence the full path from preclinical strategy to clinical readiness
Thrive in a collaborative, agile culture where science meets execution
