About the role

You are the senior development voice on every asset: you determine whether and how each can be advanced quickly and capital-efficiently to a Phase 2 proof-of-concept readout that an acquirer will pay for.
Knowing how to find the right expert for each function matters as much here as the development science itself.
You'll have real ownership: the call on whether an asset is developable and worth pursuing sits with you.

You set the development strategy, design the clinical studies, define the target product profile, and drive the regulatory path behind each program.
You report to our CEO, lead the Lindus Tx team, manage our VP Corporate Development and asset leads, and sit on the company executive committee.
As Chief Development Officer, you will own development strategy across the Lindus Therapeutics portfolio.
You design around the exit.

we're building the next generation of biopharma by in-licensing clinical-stage therapeutic assets and developing them through Lindus Health's integrated, technology-first clinical trial infrastructure.
We're a new initiative, but we're building on a proven foundation - the same infrastructure that has delivered 82% of Lindus Health's sponsor trials on or ahead of timeline, across 40+ completed trials across the US and Europe.
We're in-licensing 5-7 clinical-stage, typically Phase-2-ready assets, funded directly from Lindus Health's balance sheet.
We're targeting deal close on our first assets through 2026, with first trials launching in H1 2027.
🍊Our mission
Great science regularly stalls in the clinic, not because the science is wrong, but because the company behind it lacks the capital, infrastructure, or focus to take it all the way through.
Today's clinical-stage biopharma model is broken, and as a result promising treatments never reach patients.
We are building out a first tranche of 4 to 5 in-licensed assets, with trials starting in 2027.
