About the role:
We aim to leverage our platform-driven immune insights to drive a higher probability of clinical trial success for our partners, and we are seeking a Director of Clinical and Translational Applications to join the CTO Office to support this goal. This is a high-visibility individual contributor role that is expected to interface closely across multiple teams. You will apply your deep clinical and translational expertise to bridge our cutting edge technical capabilities with our partners’ clinical challenges, ensuring that our platform solutions effectively solve the most high-stakes challenges in the pharmaceutical industry.
Location: New York, NY (hybrid model)
What will you do?
- Serve as our principal “Clinical Solutions Architect”, leading the scientific study design for new partner engagements. You will translate a partner’s internal clinical development hurdles into structured research proposals utilizing Immunai’s core platform capabilities and products.
- Support the execution of our active clinical collaborations by interfacing between our internal technical collaborations teams and our partner’s clinical teams, ensuring that our external deliverables are optimally aligned with the key clinical challenges and internal decision-making processes of our partners.
- Provide clinical education and expert guidance to our internal R&D and Product teams to ensure that our internal platform development efforts optimally build towards supporting clinically actionable outcomes

Requirements
Required qualifications:
- You are an MD or MD/PhD with 8-12 years of experience in clinical trial design and translational medicine in the IO or I&I space, preferably within a Biotech or Pharma setting, or as an academic clinician-scientist who has served as a PI for multiple industry-sponsored trials
- You have first-hand experience using complex, high dimensional data to drive clinical development decisions about how a drug progresses through clinical trials. You have seen how trials succeed and fail from the inside and understand the internal pressures (Go/No-Go milestones) and external forces (FDA requirements) that drive drug development.
- You have a strong track record of delivering presentations and publications that turn complex translational insights to clear, persuasive narratives for clinical audiences
- You have an agile AI-transformation mindset; you may not be a coder but are excited to adapt and apply AI-enabled analytical workflows to independently explore multi-omic datasets, extract clinically-relevant insights, and build compelling case studies to showcase your findings.
Desired personal traits:
- You want to make an impact on humankind
- You prioritize “We” over “I”
