Full Job Description

The Foundation for the National Institute of Health (FNIH) is seeking a Program Manager or Director, with final level determined based on experience and leadership capabilities, to lead a high-profile, multi-sector national initiative to accelerate the development and clinical translation of next-generation cancer vaccines.

The Program Manager or Director will oversee a coordinated portfolio spanning rapid demonstration trials, parallel development of multiple antigen classes and vaccine platforms, scalable GMP manufacturing, harmonized immune monitoring, and a centralized data architecture enabling AI-driven antigen prediction. This position will report to the Senior Vice President of Translational Science within the Science Partnerships department (or their designated report) and is based at the FNIH offices located in North Bethesda, MD.

This role requires a scientifically credible, operationally strong leader who can align partners across academia, biopharma, government, philanthropy, advocacy, and persons with live experience and translate complex science into coordinated execution. The Program Manager or Director will as a centralized facilitator for overall partnership development, vaccine candidate selection, adaptive clinical trial design and implementation, research project coordination, and funding strategy.

Lead collaborative processes to identify and prioritize candidate antigens, vaccine constructs, and combination strategies
Establish criteria for advancement, down-selection, and portfolio evolution
Represent the initiative in scientific, clinical, and policy forums
Contribute to publications, presentations, and strategic communications

Clinical Trial Strategy & Execution

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

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

This is a hybrid position and requires regular visits to FNIH headquarters in Bethesda, MD. This position may also require occasional travel for meetings, conferences and any other relevant engagements.
