Stewards the company's highest-priority initiatives and planning artifacts, including company and function roadmaps, OKRs, and investor materials. Sets the operating rhythm across functions and time zones and owns consolidating project management tooling onto a single system. Works in Notion, Slack, and the designated project management tool.
Drug discovery has a translation problem: more than 95% of drugs that succeed in animal models fail in humans. We're building the alternative: human-first drug discovery, powered by organoids and AI, running on real human biology from the very first experiment.
Our platform is 87% concordant with clinical patient data - a vast improvement over the 3% translational success rate of animals. We’ve demonstrated the ability to model immunotoxicology, immunogen stimulation, and two autoimmune diseases with more on the way. Numerous pharma partners including 3 Fortune 500 companies are already using the platform. We've raised ~$30M from AIX Ventures, Marc Benioff, Jeff Dean, and Y Combinator. With the FDA Modernization Act 3.0 and the FDA's March 2026 validation framework, the regulatory tailwinds only continue to get stronger.
The opportunity ahead of the company is generational: build the first scaled engine for generating real human biological data, and use it to fundamentally change how medicines are discovered.
The Role
We are looking for a Corporate Program Manager to steward the company's most important programs and initiatives and see them through.
The leverage here is high. You sit close to the executive team and the functions at once, translating between strategy and execution and bringing inputs from across the company into a cohesive, measurable plan.
The work covers the initiatives that matter most at any given time, along with the planning artifacts that represent them: company and function roadmaps, OKRs, and the materials that go to investors and to the team. That means holding a single source of truth, keeping terminology and timelines consistent across every artifact, working with function owners for the pieces only they can deliver, and getting the whole thing finished against a date that does not move.
The role sets the operating rhythm of the organization: sprint cadence, clear ownership on every initiative, and measurable outcomes. It runs across functions and across time zones, coordinating dependencies and surfacing blockers early. It also owns the consolidation of our project management tooling onto a single designated system, and getting the company working in it.
