Project ManagementResearchCollaboration
About the role
- This role is on the Intercept team, which is part of Stripe's broader collection of public goods initiatives, including Frontier.
- Respiratory viruses kill 1 million people a year, cost us $600B annually, disrupt everyday life, and periodically threaten civilization.
- Intercept is a $500M philanthropic initiative that aims to radically reduce the burden of respiratory infections, and eventually eliminate them altogether.
Responsibilities
- Support diligence of grants and investments.
- This work requires shaping and building out our internal points-of-view across a wide range of modalities that are relevant to respiratory viruses, which include innate immunity, adaptive immunity, direct-acting antivirals, host-directed therapeutics, and physical formulation barriers for the upper respiratory tract.
- Intercept is a small team; you'll work with the entire team, under Intercept's Head of Science, many partners, and wear many hats.
- You'll own specific outcomes end-to-end and have a chance to contribute to BSP strategy over time.
- Develop theses on technological approaches to inform capital deployment.
- Support the development of internal points of view for the most promising approaches that have the potential to meet our TPP.
Requirements
- Must have a PhD and/or MD in immunology and/or infectious disease with 3+ years of post-grad work experience (post-doc, academia, biotech, pharma, VC, or consulting)
- Demonstrated capacity to explore and evaluate a broad range of scientific topics and experience with scientific curation (e.g., oversight of a research portfolio, grant making experience, investment experience, etc.)
- Experience with the grant process, either success with receiving grant funding or awarding grants
- Familiar with early-stage product development, ideally with some experience / contribution
- Experience with project management from launch to completion / project quarterback with a high openness to getting hands dirty
- That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career.
- Experience with thinking through high-value experiments, technical data scrutiny, and triaging a wide funnel of ideas into the highest quality theses will be essential.
- We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role.
Nice to have
- Experience with capital allocation, either with grants and/or investments
- Experience with portfolio management, including portfolio construction and post-award management
- Direct product development experience (optimally with candidate nomination, CMC, IND-enabling studies, and Ph I trial launch)
- While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office.
Compensation
- Respiratory viruses kill 1 million people a year, cost us $600B annually, disrupt everyday life, and periodically threaten civilization.
Benefits
- Support early and deep / technical diligence of our grant and equity pipeline: evaluating science quality, development plans, team, and fit against our TPP.
- The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
- This role will focus on conducting research, managing projects, and supporting diligence across our grant and equity pipelines.
