Job description
ABOUT CHAI DISCOVERY
Chai builds the design suite for molecules. We train frontier models that learn the underlying foundations of biochemical structure and interaction, so scientists can move faster and pursue targets that other methods cannot reach.
AI is reinventing life sciences the same way it reinvented software engineering, and Chai is at the forefront of this shift. Leading pharmaceutical companies like Eli Lilly endpoints.news/, Pfizer forbes.com/, and Novartis chaidiscovery.com/novartis-partnership are adopting our platform to power their drug discovery programs.
We value diverse perspectives and are ready to find greatness in unexpected places.
ABOUT THIS ROLE
We are building out our founding partnerships team and looking to make a few key hires to anchor the effort.
Nothing is more important to our business than the success and growth of our partnerships, and that kind of responsibility is exactly what the right person will be eager to assume. You will do whatever it takes to ensure our partnerships are healthy and that Chai exceeds expectations.
You'll team up with phenomenal scientists to push forward multiple concurrent programs, accelerating time to clinic at an unprecedented rate. And you will emerge as a trusted thought partner, helping your counterparts fundamentally rethink their operating model in an era of AI.
You'll also be synthesizing what you learn into actionable intelligence for the rest of the company, helping us shape our product and our future. It will be a lot of fun, a lot of work, and extraordinarily rewarding.
ABOUT YOU
We index on outlier resourcefulness, integrity and execution. You sweat the small stuff, you value relationships, you hold timelines, and you keep everyone on the same page—without ever dropping balls. We can count on you, and so can our partners.
We value scientific and biopharma experience, and we are also more than willing to make a bet on exceptional people with translatable skills. Low-ego, high-EQ, motivated and mission-driven is what we're looking for.
WE OFFER
The opportunity to work at the vanguard of AI research and frontier biology, with world-class people, on a mission that matters. We protect & promote a culture of high velocity and ownership. We compensate our team accordingly.
