Chief Executive Officer – Biotech (Europe / UK Remote)
I'm working with an exciting venture-backed, pre-clinical biotech developing a first-in-class therapeutic platform at the intersection of neuroscience and immunology. The mission is to restore immune balance across neurological and systemic diseases through a novel, mechanism-driven approach.
Operating in stealth mode, the company combines a strong scientific foundation with seasoned early-stage investors and a robust network of CRO and academic partners.
Currently seed funded, they are entering a key growth phase focused on candidate selection and pre-clinical validation, ahead of a Series A financing milestone within the next 12 months.
The Role:
• Shape the overall scientific and strategic direction of a pioneering therapeutic platform.
• Lead day-to-day operations and cultivate relationships with investors, advisors, and key partners.
• Build and guide a lean, mission-driven team through candidate selection and early development stages.
Your Background
• Essential that you have a PhD in Neurology, Immunology or similar Life Science.
• Proven leadership in early-stage biotech or translational R&D.
• Demonstrated success in fundraising or venture financing within biotech environment.
• Expertise in neuroscience, immunology, or biologic therapeutics.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to thrive in a 'build mode' environment.
Whilst the scientific background and successful fundraising track-record are essential, this role would be open to other C-suite positions like CSO or COO who have a strong track record.
- This role is open to EU and UK only.
- There is a competitive C-Suite compensation package for this role.
- Confidential discussion encouraged.
