[Hiring] (Senior) Medical Director @AbelZeta

Role Description

We are seeking a physician clinical developer to join the Inflammation & Immunology Clinical Development organization. The role may be appointed at the Medical Director, or Senior Medical Director level depending on the candidate’s depth of clinical development experience, therapeutic-area expertise, and demonstrated leadership scope.

The successful candidate will initially provide study-level clinical leadership and medical monitoring for one or more autoimmune and/or neuroimmunology trials, with meaningful responsibility for:

• Protocol design
• Study execution
• Investigator engagement
• Safety oversight
• Data interpretation
• Regulatory support

This role offers the opportunity to join a rapidly evolving clinical-stage cell-therapy organization at a point when programs are transitioning from early clinical evidence into global and potentially registrational development.

The successful candidate can build deep expertise in autoimmune cell therapy while progressively expanding from hands-on study leadership to broader clinical development ownership.

• Required MD, DO, or equivalent medical degree.
• Board certification/board eligibility in Rheumatology, Neurology, Neuroimmunology/Multiple Sclerosis, Clinical Immunology, or another specialty with substantial autoimmune-disease expertise.
• Meaningful clinical experience caring for patients with autoimmune, rheumatologic, or neuroimmunology disease.
• Demonstrated understanding of clinical-trial methodology, GCP, patient safety, and clinical data interpretation.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to operate effectively in a highly matrixed, fast-moving environment.

Requirements

• Industry clinical-development experience as a study physician, medical monitor, or clinical development experience; or academic clinical trial investigator.
• Hands-on medical monitoring and EDC/data-review experience, including eligibility, AEs/SAEs, concomitant medications, protocol deviations, rescue therapy, and medical queries.
• Experience designing or executing Phase 1, Phase 1b/2, Phase 2, pivotal, or registrational clinical trials.
• Experience with CAR-T, cell therapy, gene therapy, hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation, immune effector-cell therapy, or other advanced therapeutic modalities.
• Experience with biomarkers, translational medicine, precision medicine, pharmacodynamic endpoints, or mechanistically driven patient-selection strategies.
• Experience supporting regulatory submissions or direct health-authority interactions.
• Clinically credible: can engage investigators and KOLs as a physician peer while maintaining sponsor accountability.
• Collaborative: effective across Clinical Operations, Safety, Regulatory, Biometrics, Translational Medicine, CMC, Research, and external partners.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and urgency: able to prioritize, make decisions with incomplete information, and operate effectively in a growing biotechnology company.

Benefits

• Defined career path and annual performance review and feedback process.
• Comprehensive Benefits Plan, including 100% company paid medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term and long-term disability insurance, and more!
