Role: Biotech Project Manager – Oncology (CMC/Clinical Support)
Location: Galway, IE
The Company
A pioneering cell therapy biotech is on a mission to transform the treatment of solid tumours through a unique allogeneic neutrophil-based therapy platform. Unlike patient-specific T-cell therapies, this approach is donor-derived, scalable, and consistent, enabling it to be manufactured at scale and delivered to patients more efficiently. The therapy harnesses the natural tumour-infiltrating and tumour-killing abilities of neutrophils, which can also be engineered to enhance their anti-cancer activity. This makes the platform a powerful, differentiated strategy designed to overcome tumour resistance and improve patient outcomes.
The company is entering an exciting growth phase, with its first-in-human clinical trial scheduled to begin in Galway within the next 12 months. To support this, the biotech has partnered with a CDMO to handle GMP manufacturing, while the UK headquarters drive innovation, translational research, and CMC strategy. With strong leadership, a visionary scientific platform, and a clear clinical path ahead, this is an exceptional opportunity to contribute to a next-generation oncology therapy at the point where science is translating into patient impact.
