A vital role in a commercial-stage biotech company that develops novel treatment paradigms within immunology and inflammation.

As Head of Non-Clinical at MC2 Therapeutics, you will enter an exciting and newly established position with direct report to the COO.

In this position, you will have a significant impact and act as the go-to non-clinical profile at MC2 Therapeutics, where you will be responsible for program set-up, oversight, and reporting for new nonclinical programs and coordinating non-clinical activities with CROs.

Main tasks include (but are not limited to):

• Overall scientific management of non-clinical activities and studies.
• Drive strategies and activities such as molecular target assays, PK/PD models, and biomarker studies.
• Manage and oversee external toxicology and ADME studies with CROs and relevant expert consultants.
• Act as a scientific expert and lead interactions with external and international stakeholders (e.g. regulatory authorities, non-clinical experts/consultants, academic groups, CROs) and internal stakeholders (e.g. research, safety, regulatory, clinical development, and CMC).
• Contribute to the overall scientific strategy and product pipeline and give in-depth scientific advice on potential new projects (internal and external).
• Generating and ensuring the quality of non-clinical parts of key documents (e.g. Investigators’ brochure, non-clinical protocols, study reports, non-clinical components of regulatory submissions).
• Potentially support of clinical activities, e.g. bioanalytical development and biomarker evaluation.
• Set the agenda for high-quality scientific non-clinical publication plans and patent opportunities.

To thrive in this position, you have at least 5-10 years of experience in non-clinical expert roles in drug development in the pharma/biotech industry, where you have obtained excellent strategic, operational, and practical competencies to keep a good overview of activities as well as being hands-on through the whole process. Experience in skin biology is an advantage.

You have a broad technical profile and may have specialised in Pharmacokinetics, toxicology, or metabolism. ADME and in vivo experience is expected, and it is a plus if you have experience with CRO collaboration.

We believe you have a university degree (preferably a Ph.D.) in biochemistry/biology, veterinary sciences, pharmacology, medicine, or an equivalent field.

As a person, you are self-driven, able to take responsibility for your projects, and have a natural interest in directly engaging in quality-related matters. You have strong collaborative skills and can create successful working relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
