Description

Are you looking to join a dynamic and growing team focused on delivering tomorrow’s best-in-class antibody therapeutics in oncology and immunology? Ability Biotherapeutics is using its discovery engine to systematically generate logic-enabled antibodies with the potential to surpass current treatment paradigms for patients. Our goal is to exquisitely and sensitively target discrete disease-causing cells, ultimately increasing the therapeutic benefit while limiting toxicities. Our approach will also leverage the local disease microenvironment, and conditions that exist therein, such as pH and temperature differentials or the presence of certain metabolites, to tailor and focus our therapeutics. The team has deep experience in immunology, oncology, antibody discovery and engineering as well as drug development from the bench to the market, offering the ideal candidate a rich growth opportunity. The ideal candidate for this role is a highly motivated and enthusiastic Project Manager who thrives working in cross-functional teams. This individual will report to the Director of Project Management and COO, and play an integral part in Ability Biotherapeutics’s scientific projects and pipeline development efforts. The selected candidate will partner with Ability’s executive, science and operations teams to ensure the delivery of our lead assets on time and on budget.
