Your new company
Hays have been exclusively retained by Enara Bio to identify a Senior Director/VP of Computational Biology to join their team and drive the next phase of Computational Science at Enara Bio. Computational Biology is at the heart of our antigen discovery platform and will be key in enabling our novel biologics discovery workflows with the exciting goal of building novel platforms and processes to develop dark-antigen targeting, bi-specific, T cell engagers.


Enara Bio's purpose is to shine a light on unconventional T cell targets to develop cancer immunotherapies designed to provide lasting benefit for broad patient populations. Our proprietary EDAPT™ platform enables us to discover a novel and differentiated class of cancer-specific targets from the genomic dark matter, which we call Dark Antigens™. We are pioneering approaches to exploit these Dark Antigen targets with a range of immunotherapeutic modalities, including bispecific T-cell engagers, adoptive cell therapies and cancer vaccines.


Enara Bio was founded in 2016 and has been well funded to invest in the build out and growth of our R&D efforts and our fantastic team. The company is based in Oxford, UK though there is significant scope for remote working.


Your new role
As the Senior Director/VP of Computational Biology you will be developing and implementing new strategies to support and improve our existing bioinformatic pipelines and deploy new computational biology capabilities throughout our established biologics discovery pipeline, as we progress impactful immunotherapies towards the clinic.


As the Head of the Computational Biology function, you will lead an established team of bioinformaticians, computer scientists and data managers. You will support the development of individuals and drive the growth of the function in line with our Research strategy.


As a subject matter expert in Computational Biology, you will also define the overall strategy of how Computational Biology can drive forward and enhance all aspects of our R&D pipeline and be a key advisor to the Leadership Team in these matters.


As a senior leader within Research you will be part of a key team developing and delivering the broader research strategy. You will also influence the operation of our Research division as we continue to build an ecosystem that enables each of us to do our best work, ensuring our core pillars of purpose, authenticity and self-management are embedded across the teams.


We are interested in the following areas, so a willingness to learn / exposure to one or more of these would be an advantage, but direct experience is not required as this role will be operating at a strategic level rather than being a hands-on contributor:

• Clinical NGS / multi-omics data sets
• Protein modelling / ML-guided protein engineering
• Data science (statistics, ML, and data visualisation)
• Good data management and infrastructure practices

What you'll need to succeed
You will need strong expertise in bioinformatics/computational biology, and proven experience in leading teams in this technical area, as well as broader strategic and functional oversight within the biotech/pharma sector.


Required qualifications and experience

• MSc / PhD (or equivalent experience) within a life sciences subject such as bioinformatics, biology, medicine, statistics, etc with significant hands-on experience in Computational Biology gained within a biotech / pharmaceutical / drug discovery company setting
• Track record of effectively leading and developing people and teams
• Ability to communicate effectively with a diverse internal and external audience
• Involved in delivering value from external collaborations
• Demonstrated ability to build and sustain networks and excellent working relationships with scientific partners
• Demonstrable experience in computational workflows, process and method development related to:
• Biologics/therapeutics design and discovery
• Genomics/multi-omics analysis for target discovery/disease biology

Desirable

• Experience of an oncology drug pipeline in the biotech sector
• Prior experience in the immunology/T cell field

What you'll get in return
This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and growing biotech company that is at the forefront of immunotherapy discovery and make a significant impact on their research strategy and direction.
You will get a competitive salary, bonus and benefits package, plus opportunities for career progression, training and development.
As well as working with a talented and diverse team of scientists who are passionate about making a difference for patients, you will be contributing to the development of novel platforms and processes to develop dark-antigen targeting, bi-specific, T cell engagers that have the potential to revolutionise cancer treatment.


There is also a flexible working arrangement in place allowing you to find the right balance for time spent working at home versus in the Oxford office (though some presence on site is required).
