Interius BioTherapeutics Is Seeking a Junior Project Manager

Can you see yourself as part of a growing team working to develop targeted vectors to reprogram cells in vivo for the treatment of devastating diseases? That’s what Interians are doing, right now. We are a clinical stage biotech start-up developing a novel bioplatform for targeted gene delivery that enables the right payload to be delivered to the right cells in vivo. We are a rapidly evolving organization, where those who enjoy the challenges and rewards of company-building will thrive.

As a Junior Project Manager (JPM), you will bring your 1+ years of work experience to a growing organization with increasing complexity of project management needs. As a JPM, you will be responsible for a limited number of internal small to medium sized activities. You will need to work cross functionally with other Project Managers, Quality, CMC, Legal & Finance team members to execute activities on time and on budget. The JPM is responsible for supporting Portfolio & Program Development team members to manage the programs and to take on smaller projects independently. As the successful candidate, you will embrace the role of a JPM in a small biotech heading towards its first clinical trial, where you are not only an essential problem-solver, but also a wonderful collaborator who takes initiative.

“We not only hire great talent, we hire good people” is how our CEO, Phil Johnson, addressed the company at a recent meeting. “People who others like to work with.” If you like what you read and can see yourself as an Interian, please apply.
