Program Manager
Apply NowCompany: Abata Therapeutics
Location: Watertown, MA 02472
Description:
About us:
Abata has a big vision focused on translating the biology of regulatory T cells (Tregs) into transformational medicines for patients, particularly in severe autoimmune and inflammatory diseases with inadequate or no therapeutic options. While cell therapies represent a significant advancement in treating human disease, they have not yet been rigorously evaluated and developed for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. The company believes that by engineering Tregs for targeted activation only at the site of disease, enabling a robust, durable response, while avoiding systemic immune suppression, they can revolutionize the treatment of these challenging chronic diseases.
Our work is transformative which is why we hire the best, brightest, and most importantly...kind people. Being kind is not just a personality trait we look for, it's a core value, embedded in the way we work and how we shape your experience at Abata Therapeutics. One of the most important aspects of your experience at Abata is how you develop and grow with the company. Our culture of learning and growth enables everyone to do their best work and contribute to fulfilling our mission.
The Role:
Abata is looking for a talented Program Manager to establish and drive our program management process across our two lead programs. This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of a clinical stage company bringing first in class Treg cell therapies to patients and make a broad impact on operations and program management. The level of the position will be commensurate with the candidate's industry and program management experience.
