Role Summary:

The Program Team Leader (PTL) is a passionate drug developer with a global perspective, who brings adaptable leadership, strategic product development acumen, and relentless pursuit of long-term success for patients and Dyne’s medicines. The PTL is a highly visible leadership role. Working with an experienced Program Manager and a cross-functional team, the PTL shapes the Program strategy, goals, priorities, and plans, bringing both a ‘future-orientation’ toward the ultimate goal of broad, global commercial access for patients in need, and a “pragmatic-orientation” to chart the path, mitigate risks, cultivate options, and lead through complex drug development decisions.

This role is based in Waltham, MA without the possibility of being a remote role.

  • Lead a high-performing cross-functional Program Team, focusing on both the “what”, such as strategy, priorities, output, and resources, and also the “how”, such as maintaining a fulfilling, collaborative, and sustainable team environment.
  • Establish a robust and well-understood Program strategy for bringing a life-changing medicine to patients in need.
  • Ensure that research, non-clinical, clinical, regulatory, CMC, and commercial strategies and plans are aligned with the overall Program strategy.

  • Keep abreast of emerging developments regarding research and development in the fields of muscle diseases and oligonucleotide drug discovery and development.
  • Build visible, constructive, and credible presence within KOL and patient community for relevant disease areas.
  • Participate in business development activities, as needed, including opportunity evaluations and due diligence.
  • Provide a motivating leadership example within Dyne more broadly during periods of rapid growth.
  • Responsibly steward the Program budget in collaboration with finance and functional leaders.
  • Foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, discovery, and cutting-edge research focused on scientific excellence, open communication, and continual improvement.
  • Actively coach team members to achieve their best and support to mitigate gaps in skill or capacity.
  • Consider needs of the Program in context of Dyne corporate strategy and priorities, as primary advocate for the Program among Dyne senior leadership.
  • Lead with Dyne’s core values at the forefront.

Education and Skills Requirements:

  • Experience in Phase 1-3 drug development is required; product launch/early commercialization experience a strong plus.
  • Proven and respected leader with:
    • Advanced degree in Medical or Life Science, MD, PhD or MBA or equivalent.
    • 12+ years of experience in pharmaceutical industry in leadership positions in drug development and proven track record in driving Programs through IND, early clinical, pivotal stages and approval.

    • Experience in rare genetic diseases preferred.
  • Other key traits:
  • Entrepreneurial team leader, able to shape and communicate the vision for an important therapeutic Program and guiding the development of the product strategy and its execution.
  • Insightful people leader supporting and coaching high-caliber functional experts to achieve their absolute best.
  • Collaborative corporate leader partnering with other senior leaders to shape and fulfil Dyne’s overall mission to develop and commercialize transformational therapeutics for people living with serious diseases.
  • Orientation towards collective achievement and team credit, combined with individual sense of responsibility and accountability for teamwork and product.
  • Adept at leading through ambiguity and provide steadiness and consistency among shifting priorities.
  • Comfortable with fast-paced and nimble organizational environment.
  • Demonstrated experience in building highly effective and motivated cross-functional teams and in guiding teams and organizations in making complex and high-stakes data-driven decisions.
  • Proven acumen for cross-functional leadership and influencing without direct authority, both among cross-functional team members and senior functional leaders.
  • Demonstrated scientific knowledge and curiosity necessary for thought partnership across all functions.
  • Proven ability to establish and maintain credible and trust-based relationships with external stakeholders (e.g., KOLs, patient advocacy groups, regulators or investors).
  • Outstanding sense of urgency and ability to pace the team’s work to achieve milestone achievement in highly competitive landscape.
  • Excellent communication skills (verbal, written, presentation) and ability to clearly communicate complex ideas stakeholders and teams at all levels.
  • Natural focus on team dynamics and proven ability to coach and support team members to perform at their best.
  • Effective people-oriented collaboration skills in an environment with cross internal functional teams, and third-party collaborators/vendors.
