Loyal is a clinical-stage veterinary medicine company developing longevity drugs for dogs. Our mission is to help dogs live longer, healthier lives.
We're pioneering a new category of veterinary prescription drugs that proactively and preventatively target the underlying drivers of aging, delaying the onset of disease and preserving quality of life as dogs age. We've already made significant progress in our mission to develop the first FDA-approved drugs to extend canine lifespan: as of early 2026 we've completed two of three major FDA review sections for our lead program, LOY-002, and are targeting submission of the third and final section later this year.
Loyal is a well-funded startup with teams of scientists, veterinarians, engineers, operators, and creatives. You'll help us continue on our path of earning FDA approval for the first lifespan extension medicine for any species, and change what's possible for the dogs we love.
The Senior Director of Clinical Development leads the team responsible for design, execution, and strategic direction of clinical programs across Loyal’s veterinary product portfolio. This role is responsible for driving end-to-end clinical strategy, from target product profile to study design and regulatory-facing protocol development through field execution, data interpretation, and evidence package generation.
This is a highly cross-functional role that partners closely with R&D, Clinical Operations, Project Leadership, Regulatory (FDA-CVM),CMC, and Commercial to ensure our studies are scientifically sound, operationally feasible, and aligned with pathways to approval.
You will be reporting to our VP, Clinical and Veterinary Medicine .
Salary range: $230,000 - $270,000
Loyal is founded and led by a first-gen female CEO and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate against applicants based on gender, race or color, ethnicity or national origin, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran status, or any other applicable characteristics protected by law.
We don’t settle for incremental change. We have the bravery to take risks and shoot for the impact we want to have.
We lean into combining disciplines, expertises, and perspectives not normally adjacent. We design our organization to facilitate cross-pollination and cross-collaboration. We reject silos.
Titles do not determine who has a voice. We work on hard technical problems and have a ton of fun while at it.
Our path is novel and many things we are doing have never been done before. We lean into MVPs and are open to unexpected outcomes.
We value leading with context. We equip people with the context and background necessary to make their own decisions and act in the best interest of Loyal. We empower teams to succeed.
Our patients are not just numbers. Our work is intentional, thoughtful, and guided by respect for life. We take our responsibility to pets and pet parents seriously.

About the role
Loyal is hiring a VP Finance & Operations to build and lead the company's finance, accounting, and business operations infrastructure. This is a hands-on leadership role at a company that has closed a $100M Series C, is advancing three pipeline programs, and is targeting commercial launch of its lead product.
As a key strategic partner to the CEO, you will be instrumental in scaling Loyal into a commercial-stage organization by driving the overall capital strategy, fundraising, board materials, and investor-facing work. You will build and lead the comprehensive finance, accounting, and business operations infrastructure, establishing repeatable disciplines like FP&A and robust board reporting, managing the company's first audit, and owning controllership and close.
This is not a role for someone who wants to oversee from a distance. The finance infrastructure for commercialization is being built from the ground up. The right person has done this before at a VC-backed biotech or other atoms-based, milestone-based organization, knows what excellence looks like pre- and post-revenue generation, and is ready to do the work to get there.

We’re seeking an experienced Director Regulatory Affairs, Clinical to serve as Loyal’s subject matter expert on FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) regulatory strategy and clinical trial operations. This is a high-impact, hands-on role for someone who thrives on owning complex regulatory programs end-to-end — from INAD strategy through pivotal submission — and who brings deep expertise in FDA CVM clinical development. You will be the primary interface between Loyal and FDA CVM for clinical regulatory matters, owning our regulatory submissions, and helping shape the strategies that bring our longevity drugs to market. You will also manage 1–2 direct reports as the team grows.
Your work will directly shape the regulatory path to bring novel longevity therapeutics through FDA CVM approval for the first time in any species, setting regulatory precedent for an entirely new category of medications.
This role is for someone who has at least 10+ years of regulatory affairs experience. The ideal candidate should be a strategic thinker that is comfortable owning complex, first-of-kind regulatory programs with limited precedent, possess deep working knowledge of FDA CVM clinical development pathways and submission requirements and thrive in an environment operating with a great deal of autonomy in setting direction, making judgement calls, and driving programs and regulatory pathways forward in an agile organization.
