About the role

Faeth Therapeutics is a clinical-stage oncology company listed on Nasdaq that recently raised $200M in funding.
This is a unique opportunity to be the person who makes a small, ambitious biotech run like a much larger one - and to do it as a genuinely AI-native operator.
Make the interdependencies between functions visible and actively managed rather than discovered late. - Keep leadership ahead of the program, not behind it.

Own the integrated program plan.
Build and maintain a single, authoritative view of timelines, milestones, dependencies, and the critical path across all functions for PIKTOR and, over time, the broader portfolio.
Design and own the governance model - core team cadence, stage gates, decision rights, and escalation paths - so that strategic decisions are framed and surfaced early.
Draft OKRs, prepare and drive toward key decision points in partnership with the functional leaders who own them.
Surface strategy early and prepare the materials to support it.
Work alongside functional leaders to anticipate the strategic choices coming down the pipeline, frame the options and trade-offs, and help build the materials that let the CEO and ELT decide well.
Act as a strategic thought partner and right hand to the CEO on program direction - with a clear path to growing into de facto asset leadership as the company scales.
Design and continuously improve the dashboards, briefings, and communication tools (dashboards, email cadences, and other formats you invent) that keep the whole company aligned on timelines and risks.
Manage program budget and resources.
The CEO owns the external relationship; you own the internal machinery behind it.

~10+ years in biotech/pharma drug development, with meaningful time in a program or portfolio management capacity.

Exceptional communication, facilitation, and executive-presentation skills
able to synthesize complexity into clear, decision-ready narratives.
Experience supporting business development / corporate development diligence, alliance management, or partnership execution is a strong plus.
Thrives in a small, fast-moving, ambiguous environment
low-ego, collaborative, and comfortable being the person who makes sure nothing gets missed.
Experience preparing board- or investor-facing materials is a plus.
Direct experience taking a program through late-stage development and to approval and/or commercialization.
Oncology strongly preferred

With a strong scientific foundation and a founding team that includes the discoverer of our target pathway, we are advancing PIKTOR, a multi-node PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitor program, toward multiple near-term milestones.
We are a small, focused team where every person has direct impact - united by a shared commitment to care deeply, create boldly, and never stop learning.
We are looking for a highly self-motivated Vice President, Program Management to serve as the operational backbone of our pipeline.
Reporting to the CEO, this person will be the connective tissue across every function that touches our programs - finance, legal, regulatory, clinical development, clinical operations, CMC, nonclinical, and beyond - ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks, that leadership always has a clear and current view of timelines and risks, and that the decisions that move our programs forward are surfaced early and teed up well.
Roughly 80% of the focus will be our lead program, PIKTOR, with the expectation that this person scales into a broader program and portfolio remit as the pipeline grows.
