The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced, strategic, and visionary Chief Medical Officer to lead the clinical development of SBC003 from Phase I through to registration. This is a foundational executive role with the opportunity to design and execute the global clinical strategy for a groundbreaking multi-indication asset. You will shape the therapeutic future of neurodegeneration and directly impact the company's trajectory toward becoming a commercial leader.

Key Responsibilities

Clinical Strategy & Leadership: Design and implement the overall clinical development plan (CDP) for SBC003 across all target indications (ophthalmic and CNS), ensuring scientific rigor, operational feasibility, and alignment with regulatory and commercial objectives.
Regulatory Leadership: Serve as the primary point of contact with global health authorities (FDA, EMA, etc.). Lead the preparation of all clinical regulatory submissions (IND/CTA, NDA/BLA/MAA). Strategically pursue and leverage expedited development pathways (Orphan Drug, Fast Track, PRIME, Breakthrough Therapy).
Trial Execution: Oversee the design, protocol development, and medical monitoring of all clinical trials (Phase I-III). Select and manage relationships with CROs, key opinion leaders (KOLs), and clinical sites to ensure high-quality, on-time, and on-budget delivery.
Medical & Safety Oversight: Provide medical expertise and oversight for all clinical activities. Chair the Safety Review Committee and be ultimately responsible for pharmacovigilance and patient safety across the development program.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate closely with the CSO on translational medicine, with the CEO on corporate strategy and fundraising, and with Commercial/BD on target product profile and life-cycle planning.
Data & Communication: Drive data analysis, interpretation, and communication. Author clinical study reports, present data at scientific conferences, and publish in peer-reviewed journals.
