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.

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.

• 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).
