  • About Evrys Bio:
    This is an opportunity to join a small, entrepreneurial, and well-funded private biotech company. Building on research breakthroughs from an internationally renowned scientific team, our research platform has enabled us to discover new antiviral drugs, with a different mechanistic approach, that will change the way infection is treated from one virus at a time, to broad-spectrum therapies simultaneously effective against different viruses, without the emergence of drug resistance. Evrys Bio antivirals target special human proteins, known as sirtuins, enhancing their natural ability to fight powerful infections.  The company is funded by private investors and by multi-million-dollar government grants and contracts to develop therapies addressing infection control, pandemic preparedness, and biodefense.

    We are searching for an experienced and dynamic, “hands on” Director or Sr. Director Project Management, with a preference for someone with a scientific background, as well as proven experience in advancing preclinical and clinical development programs in the biotech industry. In this key role, the successful, highly organized candidate will lead the work and budget for our main development asset EV-100 – that is targeting an IND in Q4/2024.  They will also lead the engagement with the DOD, our government sponsor, to assure that we meet our goals and report our progress and budget utilization accordingly.  Used to working in a nimble biotech environment the successful candidate knows how to get things done, plans for contingencies, is comfortable at facing and helping the team overcome development challenges. They will play a pivotal role in advancing our overall project management capabilities.

    With COVID-19 and its variants, we’ve become more aware than ever of the need for novel antiviral therapies. So have government agencies who fund medical research, as well as large pharmaceutical corporations looking for the next big cure.  Our scientific team has seen hundreds of viruses emerge for which there is no known effective drug therapy, and in some cases, resistance is building against existing drugs. Hence, key elements of our team culture are a sense of thoughtful urgency and collaboration.   We have made significant advances recently and are progressing towards initiating clinical studies in the next 18 months.  This creates a big opportunity to make a difference for us – and in turn this may present career growth opportunities for the right candidate.

    This position reports to the Head of Operations and Strategy (member of the executive leadership team), with frequent interactions with our CEO, CFO and VP of Research.  The position is based @ the Company’s Doylestown, PA Headquarters.
