Program Manager - Inductive Bio : Job Details

At Inductive Bio, we're building a collaborative, AI-driven platform to make drug discovery faster and more efficient. Today, chemists spend countless hours piecing together data, experience, and intuition to design molecules that are safe and effective. This is an incredibly complex and time-consuming process, and ultimately patients are the ones left waiting. Our platform is already accelerating dozens of active discovery programs, and adoption is growing quickly. Backed by top biotech and tech investors, our team brings together world-class talent from both domains. We are launching a large ARPA-H-funded project to develop state-of-the-art in silico models to predict drug toxicity, with the goal of reducing the need for animal testing in drug development. Inductive Bio will lead several academic and commercial organizations in a coordinated effort to generate novel data and leverage it to build next-generation predictive models. We are seeking a Program Manager to lead this project across all participating institutions. You will oversee a multidisciplinary team, manage complex workflows, coordinate with partners, and ensure timely and successful delivery of project goals. This role is a great opportunity to impact the development of tools that could dramatically improve the speed and safety of drug discovery and be at the cutting-edge of rapidly emerging in vitro and in silico technologies. What you'll do:

• Serve as the primary point of contact for ARPA-H and external stakeholders
• Manage the day-to-day operations, timelines, deliverables, and communications for the program
• Track and report on milestones, performance, and budgets, ensuring compliance and transparency with ARPA-H requirements
• Lead the development of key program reports and ensure the timely submission of deliverables while coordinating regular status meetings and strategic reviews
• Work cross-functionally with Inductive Bio's leadership, partnerships, engineering, and product teams to align on strategy and maintain strong stakeholder relationships

Who you are:

• You have a Bachelors, Masters, or PhD, in addition to 3+ years of experience managing complex R&D programs with government funding, ideally within ARPA environments (DARPA, IARPA, etc.)
• You have excellent organizational, communication, and leadership skills, with a proven ability to lead cross-organizational, multidisciplinary projects
• You have a strong scientific background, ideally in life sciences
• You have experience managing and reporting on budgets and spending
• You are able to thrive in a fast-paced, high-impact program with a collaborative mindset

Working at Inductive At Inductive Bio, we know that the people on the team are what make us great. We offer competitive salary and equity-based compensation; comprehensive healthcare benefits (including dental and vision); and the opportunity to grow along with a rapidly scaling company. We are a passionate, kind, and mature team. Working at a fast growing startup is not always a 9-5 job, but we believe that our employees should have full lives beyond their career.
