Hayward, United States Eikon Therapeutics Full time

Eikon Therapeutics is a new biopharmaceutical company employing revolutionary technology at the intersection of chemistry, engineering, computation, and biology to discover novel treatments for life-threatening diseases. Eikon’s discovery platform is built on groundbreaking innovations from its founders (Nobel Prize, 2014), culminating in the creation of microscopes which enable real time, molecular-resolution measurements of protein movement in living cells, thereby unlocking otherwise intractable classes of proteins as drug targets.

Position

The Associate Director of Clinical Contracts will be an integral part of Eikon’s growing legal team. They will support the Company by managing the negotiation of a range of complex agreements necessary for the conduct of global clinical trials by Eikon. This role will focus on the negotiation of Clinical Trial Agreements (CTAs) and include the oversight of third-party global contract negotiation resources under a Functional Service Provider model (FSP). The Associate Director of Clinical Contracts may also support non-clinical contracting across various other departments as needed. This role will have deep support when needed (both internally and via third party resources), but also the ability to work autonomously and drive decision-making. In addition, there may be opportunities to support other non-contracting related projects where there is interest and need, such as helping to develop, implement, and train internally on policies and procedures, such as those related to healthcare compliance and data privacy.  This role will report to the Director of Clinical Contracts and will be positioned to collaborate across multiple functions.
