Job Description
Overview
Pintail Solutions is a trusted life science partner improving global health. We work with a variety of clients including biotechs and pharmaceutical companies, CROs, academic institutions, and philanthropic organizations. Clients work with Pintail because of our breadth of experience, our ability to deliver outcomes, and our passion for every project we work on. We focus on the greater good of the client and are fearless about informing clients about what they need instead of what they may ask for. We expect everyone in the company to act like an owner and be insatiable about looking for ways to improve. We value excellence, integrity, and collaboration, and we believe we will make a greater difference in our work when we are having fun doing it. 

We are seeking an accomplished and strategic Chief Medical Officer (CMO) to lead the clinical and medical strategy for a biotechnology startup developing transformative therapies for neurodegenerative diseases . The CMO will be responsible for translating innovative neuroscience and disease biology into robust clinical development programs targeting disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, and related neurodegenerative conditions.

As a member of the executive leadership team, the CMO will shape the company’s clinical vision, oversee regulatory and clinical strategy, and build the medical organization needed to advance therapies from preclinical research through clinical development.

The Chief Medical Officer (CMO) role is focused on a west coast client raising $90M to support neurodegenerative disease drug development.  The role will likely start part-time, moving to full time fairly quickly.  
 
This individual will need an entrepreneurial spirit, deep clinical trial experience, preferably from a pharma/sponsor perspective, and a mature business presence to successfully engage with internal and external business partners.   Experience is oligos and brain shuttle technology is preferred.
