More than one million people in the United States today are fighting blood cancer. While a traditional allogeneic stem cell transplant has been the best hope for many, the transplant itself can prove fatal or lead to serious conditions, such as graft vs. host disease. Orca Bio is a commercial-stage biotechnology company redefining the transplant process by developing next-generation cell therapies with the goal of providing significantly better survival rates with dramatically fewer risks. With our purified, high-precision cell therapies we hope to not only replace patients' blood and immune systems with healthy ones, but also restore their lives.

Summary of Position: The Vice President of Medical Affairs will build, develop, and lead our Medical Affairs function including Medical Science Liaisons, Medical Affairs Operations, Medical Information, Medical Communications, and Investigator Sponsored Trials for Orca-T (our lead, late-stage product), and other products in development as needed (responsibility shared with the Clinical R&D team for products in development).

You will lead the medical affairs team while working closely with the R&D team to support the publication and promulgation of clinical/pre-clinical data as well as other important information. You will present a strong outward-facing presence with key KOLs and will support the company in many different capacities, including business development. You will provide medical support for our trials in Advanced Hematologic Malignancies undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation.
