Oversee development of scalable GMP manufacturing approaches across platforms

Ensure harmonization of immune monitoring assays and endpoints across studies

Data & AI-Enabled Innovation

Partner with data science leadership to build and utilize centralized data architecture supporting the initiative

Enable integration of clinical, immunologic, and molecular data to inform antigen prediction and vaccine design

Support AI-driven approaches to optimize candidate selection and trial learning

Regulatory Strategy & Engagement

Collaborate with regulatory agencies to align innovative trial designs, endpoints, and biomarker strategies

Ensure programs are designed to support future regulatory pathways and potential approval

Help to facilitate regulatory submissions and advice interactions, as needed

Partnership Development & Partner Engagement

Lead engagement with biopharmaceutical companies, academic investigators, technology partners, philanthropists, advocacy groups, and persons with lived experience

Build and sustain a collaborative ecosystem aligned around shared scientific and translational goals, including philanthropy and government

Partner with Strategic Alliances and Advancement to secure and align funding to support initiative goals

Articulate the value proposition and impact of the initiative to diverse funders

Program Governance & Execution

Establish and lead governance structures, including executive and steering committees and scientific advisory groups

Oversee timelines, milestones, budgets, and deliverables across all program components

Ensure transparency, accountability, and effective decision-making across all partners and any relevant external organizations

Required

MD, PhD, or equivalent in oncology, immunology, or related biomedical field

Program Manager candidates should have approximately 7+ years of relevant experience in oncology drug development, cancer immunotherapy, or vaccine development, while Director level candidates should have 10+ years of progressively responsible experience in these areas.

Strong understanding of translational science across discovery, preclinical, and clinical domains, including clinical trial design and execution, including multi-site studies

Proven ability to lead complex, multi-institutional or public–private partnerships

Preferred

Experience interacting with regulatory agencies (e.g., FDA, EMA)

Experience with cancer vaccines, immuno-oncology, or antigen discovery platforms

Familiarity with GMP manufacturing and immune monitoring technologies

Experience with adaptive trial designs and biomarker-driven development

Track record of high-impact team leadership
