Senior Manager Corporate Development and Data Strategy

insitro is changing the way that drugs are discovered and developed for patients by applying a machine learning-driven approach that leverages insights derived from a combination of external human cohort data and high-quality cellular data generated in-house. To enable and execute on this vision, we require access to large and/or deep datasets with high-content phenotypic measurements relevant to human health. We need to be nimble, thoughtful, and creative in prioritizing, accessing, and/or creating these datasets, as well as in how to best leverage the data and our platform to maximally benefit patients.

The Senior Manager of Corporate Development and Data Strategy will be responsible for collaborating with internal scientific and technical teams to prioritize external engagements that enable access to a generation of high-content clinical and molecular data critical for the development of insitro’s platform. Reporting to the Senior Director of Corporate Development and Head of Data Strategy, you will contribute to insitro’s larger scientific and corporate strategy by supporting the identification, structuring, and execution of diverse collaboration structures focused on expanding our footprint across human genetic and clinical data. This is an excellent opportunity for someone passionate about therapeutic discovery and making an impact to patients!

Your key responsibilities will include the following:

• Working cross-functionally to scope, negotiate and execute innovative transactions centered on human data, machine learning, and their joint application to improve clinical outcomes
• Landscaping available data sources and modalities to align with the needs and capabilities of insitro's ML and TA teams
• Creatively structure collaborations and identify “win-win” opportunities with potential partners
• Communicate effectively and collaborate cross-functionally to coordinate input into partnering strategy and execution
• Supporting additional corporate development activities, including asset diligence and biopharma collaborations, as necessary

You will be joining an exciting biotech startup that has long-term stability due to significant funding, while maintaining a culture of innovation. You will work closely with a very talented team, learn a broad range of skills, and help shape insitro’s culture, strategic direction, and impact on patient outcomes. Join us, and help make a difference to patients!
