General Description:

BeOne continues to grow at a rapid pace, offering challenging and exciting opportunities for experienced professionals who want to make a meaningful impact. As a global, science-driven biopharmaceutical company, BeOne is committed to advancing innovative medicines through deep biological insight, rigorous translational science, and strong cross-functional collaboration. While oncology remains a core focus, BeOne is rapidly expanding its immunology and inflammation portfolio, with the goal of delivering transformative therapies for patients with serious autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases.

We are seeking a highly experienced Associate Director with a strong background in Translational Research and Translational Medicine for Immunology (Autoimmune Disease Portfolio) to join our team. The ideal candidate will bring a deep foundation in immunology, with demonstrated experience in autoimmune or immune-mediated diseases, and strong scientific insight into one or more therapeutic areas such as dermatology, rheumatology, nephrology, and/or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

In this role, you will serve as the clinical biomarker lead for selected immunology programs, accountable for the design and execution of mechanism-driven clinical biomarker strategies that inform patient selection, dose and regimen optimization, and key clinical decisions. You will provide translational and biomarker leadership across clinical development, contribute as a core member of development team, and help advance early- and late-stage programs through innovative biomarker and translational approaches.

Essential Functions of the Job:

• Act as the clinical biomarker lead for assigned immunology/autoimmune clinical programs and studies, serving as the primary biomarker contact for cross-functional study teams.

• Develop and implement translational and clinical biomarker strategies to support clinical development, including pharmacodynamic and mechanism-related biomarkers, dose and regimen optimization, and patient stratification; contribute to CDx strategy where appropriate.

• Interpret and communicate clinical biomarker data to support study execution and key program decisions.

• Collaborate closely with assay development, CDx, clinical operations, and analytical teams to ensure biomarker approaches are fit-for-purpose and effectively implemented in clinical studies.

• Lead biomarker-related content for clinical protocols and associated documents, in alignment with clinical objectives and regulatory expectations.

• Coordinate external vendors and partners supporting biomarker and translational activities.

• Identify translational and biomarker gaps and contribute to targeted research efforts to strengthen clinical hypotheses.

• Apply immunology and autoimmune disease expertise to guide biomarker selection and interpretation across clinical programs.

• Contribute to scientific publications and external communications in collaboration with internal stakeholders.

Qualifications and Requirements:  

• Ph.D. in immunology or a related life science discipline, with 4+ years of industry experience in translational medicine, translational research, or clinical development support.

• Strong background in immunology, with experience in autoimmune or immune-mediated diseases; exposure to dermatology, rheumatology, nephrology, and/or IBD is preferred.

• Demonstrated experience applying translational approaches to inform mechanism, dose, patient selection, or clinical strategy across early and/or late-stage programs.

• Solid working knowledge of clinical biomarker science, with experience partnering with assay development and CDx teams.

• Proven ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional, matrixed environments and with external partners.

• Strong scientific thinking, data interpretation, and communication skills.

• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced development setting.

Computer Skills:   

Proficiency with standard scientific and business software (e.g., MS Office); experience with GraphPad Prism for data visualization and figure generation; familiarity with clinical data review platforms, dashboards, and document management systems commonly used in drug development.
 

Travel: 

Willingness to travel domestically and internationally as needed to support clinical programs, external collaborations, and scientific meetings.
