San Diego, California, United States Orphagen Pharmaceuticals Full time
Lead Business Development and Corporate Development at Orphagen Pharmaceuticals

Orphagen Pharmaceuticals, a pioneering biotech company, is embarking on a fundraising and partnering campaign to support a Phase 1 clinical trial for its lead oncology program and advance other first-in-class pipeline programs. We are seeking an experienced Chief Business Officer or VP of Business Development to collaborate closely with our Founder/CEO and a seasoned research and development team to capitalize on these opportunities. Leveraging our cutting-edge technology, IP, and expertise, Orphagen is poised for significant growth.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Drive corporate development through strategic partnerships and company financing
  • Develop and execute business development strategies to advance pipeline programs
  • Lead equity fundraising efforts to support clinical trials and company growth

Our first-in-class proprietary clinical candidate, OR-449, holds promise for the treatment of adrenocortical cancer, a rare and aggressive tumor with high unmet need. IND filing is planned for the third quarter of 2025, pending successful fundraising. A second internal program has identified a novel therapy for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) through the inhibition of inflammatory T cell migration to the gut.

Initial compensation for this position will be in the form of equity rather than cash. Orphagen is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate based on age, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, disability, or any other non-merit factor.
