This leader will work closely with the NATi Managing Director to develop and execute the strategy for the mRNA Platform. They will establish productive partnerships with the heads of therapeutic areas to collaboratively develop the next wave of mRNA medicines.

Additionally, this leader will play a critical role in defining the innovation agenda for the mRNA platform and oversee strategic partnerships with global collaborators focused on unlocking the full potential of mRNA as a therapeutic modality.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and implement the R&D roadmap for the mRNA technology platform, supporting discovery, optimization, preclinical development, and production of mRNA drug candidates.
  • Build and lead a high-performing scientific team accountable for mRNA design, IVT/process development, LNP formulation, targeted delivery, analytical characterization, and CMC development.
  • Oversee the evaluation, prioritization, and adoption of novel technologies to enhance platform capabilities and support pipeline expansion beyond established routes of administration and therapeutic indications.
  • Collaborate effectively with heads of therapeutic areas within NATi to develop a robust pipeline of mRNA assets on an accelerated timeline with optimal resource utilization.
  • Establish public-private partnerships, fostering joint development programs and strategic alliances.
  • Represent the mRNA platform at global scientific conferences, reinforcing NATi's leadership in next-generation RNA therapeutics.
  • Engage with regulatory agencies to ensure alignment on safety, efficacy, scalability, and regulatory compliance of NATi's mRNA platform capabilities.
Qualifications & Experience
  • A doctorate degree in Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, or a related field.
  • A minimum of 12+ (Executive Director), 15+ (Associate Vice President), 18+ (Vice President) years of experience in development/optimization of mRNA technology and its utilization in drug development within pharmaceutical or biotech organizations.
