We are seeking a strategic and experienced Director of Virology to lead our efforts in virology, shaping and advancing novel therapeutic programs. This individual will serve as the virology lead and bring strong scientific expertise, program ownership, and a network of external collaborators to complement Neomorph’s internal capabilities. The ideal candidate will bring a deep understanding of virology drug discovery, be highly self-directed, and capable of driving projects from target selection through selection of clinical candidates. This is a hands-off, strategic leadership role focused on external execution, with a strong emphasis on working with CROs and outside partners.

This is an onsite position based at our facility in San Diego.

Responsibilities

• Lead and execute Neomorph’s virology discovery strategy in alignment with the company’s overall R&D priorities.
• Own the virology pipeline and strategy based on scientific rationale, therapeutic potential, and unmet need.
• Design and oversee functional assay development and validation, leveraging external partnerships to run key studies not supported internally.
• Work with internal biology and chemistry teams to effectively prosecute virology drug discovery programs.
• Manage relationships with external CROs and academic collaborators to execute fee-for-service projects and advance programs efficiently.
• Think clinically and strategically to ensure program direction aligns with future patient population needs and translational opportunities.
• Present findings and strategic recommendations to cross-functional teams and leadership.
