[Hiring] Senior Program Strategy and Operations Director @Enveda

Role Description

At Enveda, we’re reinventing drug development: not just with our discovery and development platform, but also in our approach to culture and organization. Our Program Strategy & Operations (PSO) leaders are not simply trackers of timelines; they are strategic and operational copilots to the Asset Entrepreneurs driving their molecule. You will be the connective tissue across the single-threaded asset team, transforming rich, cross-functional information into sharper strategy, better decision-making with our C-suite, and faster, higher-quality execution, directly determining how quickly we bring our first-in-class natural-molecule-inspired medicines to the patients who need them most.

We think of this role as an Asset Entrepreneur in the making, bringing a founder mentality from the start; you will be judged on the speed and quality of the asset's decisions and the progress that follows, not on how many meetings you run. In this role, you will report to the Asset Entrepreneur and be accountable for:

• Operating as a strategic thought partner to your Asset Entrepreneur, anticipating program inflection points, modeling backup and expansion scenarios, and helping determine when to accelerate, pivot, or pause aspects of the development plan based on data and risk.
• Owning program execution end-to-end, operating like the COO of a single-asset biotech: rapidly identifying obstacles and doing whatever is needed to keep the program moving, be that coordinating across functions, rallying CRO partners, or designing dashboards to keep all aligned.
• Translating complexity into clarity by distilling scientific, clinical, regulatory, and operational inputs into rigorous analytical insights and clearly communicated options for the Board and C-suite, including crisp, data-driven slides/memos.
• Maintaining disciplined documentation and operational clarity, capturing key decisions, assumptions, and benchmarks while keeping dashboards, trackers, and updates accurate, accessible, and action-ready for asynchronous alignment.
• Contributing to Enveda’s institutional intelligence and playbook, documenting benchmarks, best practices, and learnings that make each future program faster and smarter.

Qualifications

• Experienced in biotech or pharma program management, portfolio or asset strategy, management consulting, or operations.
• Fluent with AI, using it from the start of your workflow not as a novelty, but as a multiplier of human judgment and creativity.
• A crisp communicator, able to synthesize information across disciplines to propose clear, compelling options, laid out in concise slides/memos supported by clear data analysis.
• Willing to roll up your sleeves and make things happen yourself, when needed, regardless of title.
• Used to thriving in ambiguity and moving fluidly between strategic vision and tactical execution.
• Emotionally intelligent, humble, and honest, leading through collaboration, not control.
• Intellectually curious, analytically rigorous, and can bring an optimism that lifts the team.

Requirements

• This role is remote, though will necessarily involve travel on a roughly monthly basis to meet the team and key external stakeholders.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision covered at 90%.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Flexible PTO and a company-wide weeklong recharge break.
• Adoption assistance.
