The ideal candidate brings strong industry experience in ADC discovery or development, with a proven track record of applying payload, linker, and conjugation expertise to therapeutic program strategy. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to design, evaluate, and advance next-generation ADC concepts with the goal of delivering transformative therapies to patients.

About the Role

Key Responsibilities

Lead scientific strategy for ADC payload selection, linker design, conjugation approaches, and related platform innovations
Apply deep expertise across payload classes, mechanisms of action, potency, resistance biology, bystander activity, and tolerability to guide program design
Partner with chemistry, biology, protein engineering, pharmacology, translational sciences, and CMC teams to advance next-generation ADCs
Evaluate and prioritize novel payloads, linker technologies, and conjugation approaches for internal programs and external opportunities
Provide biology-driven insights into payload mechanism of action, tumor context, therapeutic index, and combination strategies
Design and guide experimental strategies to assess ADC activity, selectivity, resistance mechanisms, linker stability, and payload-related pharmacology
Contribute to next-generation ADC platform strategy, including differentiated payload-linker concepts and biology-aligned ADC design
Represent payload/linker expertise in cross-functional project teams, governance discussions, and external collaborations
Monitor scientific, clinical, competitive, and IP landscapes related to ADC payloads, linkers, and emerging targeted modalities
Mentor scientists and contribute to a collaborative, high-performing research environment

Essential Requirements

Ph.D. in cancer biology, pharmacology, chemical biology, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, bioengineering, or related discipline
5–10 years of relevant industry experience in ADC discovery, targeted therapeutics, or oncology drug discovery
Extensive expertise in ADC payloads, including mechanism of action, potency, resistance biology, and therapeutic index considerations
Strong knowledge of linker and conjugation technologies, including stability, release mechanisms, site-specific conjugation, and developability
Deep understanding of ADC biology including tumor targeting, internalization, trafficking, payload release, bystander effects, and pharmacology
Demonstrated ability to integrate biology, chemistry, and translational data into actionable program strategies
Proven experience leading cross-functional scientific discussions and influencing program direction
Strong communication, collaboration, and leadership skills
