About the Role

The Company is seeking a Vice President and Head of Neuroscience to lead the enterprise in driving the neuroscience portfolio. The successful candidate will be responsible for all aspects of the neuroscience portfolio, including exploratory new target selection, generation of in vitro and in vivo data for pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationships, and the identification of translational biomarkers to support the optimization and clinical development of PROTAC degrader molecules for severe neurologic disorders. This role demands a leader with a bold vision, scientific excellence, and a proven track record in the field. The VP will be expected to build and inspire a high-performing team, foster a culture of innovation and collaboration, and work closely with cross-functional leaders to define and execute integrated development strategies. Applicants must have an established scientific reputation in neuroscience and neurodegenerative disease research, with a strong background in quantitative and statistical approaches to evaluate disease-relevant in vivo models and translational biomarker endpoints. The role requires a leader with extensive experience in building and leading multidisciplinary teams, as well as a clear track record of authoring relevant sections of IND/CTA documents and contributing to clinical protocol design. The ideal candidate will be an exceptional communicator, a proactive leader, and have a strong work ethic, with the ability to influence and collaborate across all levels of the organization and the broader neuroscience community. A Ph.D. in a relevant field, with at least 15 years of industry/biotech leadership experience, is required.
