Chief Scientific Officer – Exclusive Executive Search

We are excited to be partnering exclusively with an innovative client in the biotech sector to recruit an exceptional Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) who will lead transformative scientific innovation. This is a rare opportunity for a strategic, visionary leader to make a lasting impact, using deep expertise to drive pioneering research and development that advances human health.


About the Role:

As Chief Scientific Officer, you will play a pivotal role in both strategic and operational leadership, working closely with the CEO to define and deliver the company’s scientific strategy. You’ll be at the forefront of critical R&D initiatives—from designing and optimising lead candidates to overseeing clinical and regulatory milestones. This role isn’t just about oversight; it’s about owning the process and pushing scientific boundaries.


In this role, you will:


  • Set the vision for R&D, establishing strategic goals that lead to breakthrough scientific and product achievements.
  • Lead preclinical and clinical programmes with a hands-on approach to ensure rigor, relevance, and excellence.
  • Oversee the design and strategy for new candidates, shaping a clear path from concept to clinical success.
  • Manage CMC activities, guiding regulatory strategies and ensuring compliance at every step.
  • Develop and protect the IP strategy, working with legal partners to ensure robust patent coverage and expansion.
  • Represent the company at major industry events and in discussions with key stakeholders.


Why This Role Stands Out:

This is far from a conventional CSO role. You’ll be joining an entrepreneurial, mission-driven environment where scientific integrity, bold thinking, and meaningful impact are core values. As the senior scientific leader, you will have the opportunity to directly influence not only the company’s technical direction but also its reputation and legacy in the field.


Who We’re Looking For:

This role calls for a seasoned leader with:

  • A PhD in a relevant field and significant industry experience, ideally in peptide-based radiotherapeutics or similarly advanced biotechnologies.
  • A proven record in optimising lead candidates and navigating complex regulatory frameworks.
  • Exceptional writing and presentation skills, with the gravitas to engage at the highest levels.
  • Expertise in budget management, with a clear vision for resource allocation and operational efficiency.
  • A collaborative mindset, with a strong reputation for team mentorship and building cross-functional relationships.

Why Join This Journey?

If you are a CSO with a bold vision and the ambition to lead meaningful change, this is a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact. You will be part of a team committed to pushing the frontiers of science to change lives, supported by resources and a forward-thinking leadership team that values scientific excellence as the foundation of success.
