Role Overview

This is a high‑impact role at the intersection of science, strategy, and business, focused on shaping and advancing a differentiated BioMedicines R&D portfolio from early discovery through clinical development and commercialization readiness.

The role partners closely with senior BioMedicines and Flagship Pioneering leadership to define portfolio direction, build new R&D programs, and drive high‑stakes investment and prioritization decisions. You will work hands‑on with scientific leaders, internal venture teams, and partnering colleagues to translate complex science into clear strategies, executable plans, and compelling executive narratives.

Success in this role requires a roll‑up‑your‑sleeves mindset—owning analyses, building materials, structuring decisions, and moving work forward in a fast‑paced, ambiguity‑rich environment.

What You’ll Do

• Shape portfolio strategy and investment decisions across the BioMedicines pipeline, from preclinical inception through development
• Build and advance new R&D programs, defining development paths, milestones, resourcing plans, and decision points
• Develop integrated investment cases that synthesize scientific rationale, development feasibility, execution risk, and value creation
• Lead portfolio reviews, scenario planning, and trade‑off analyses (e.g., indication selection, timing, resourcing, probability‑adjusted value)
• Evaluate internal and external opportunities, including scientific, technical, strategic, and operational diligence of prospective assets
• Identify portfolio risks, gaps, and opportunities and recommend actions such as acceleration, de‑prioritization, partnering, or termination
• Translate complex scientific, clinical, and financial information into concise, executive‑level insights and decision materials
• Collaborate across R&D, Clinical Development, Regulatory, CMC, Finance, Commercial, Partnering, and internal venture teams
• Work directly with senior scientific and executive leaders (e.g., CSOs, CMOs, CBOs) to create and execute new programs
• Support governance and decision‑making forums that enable speed, clarity, and accountability
• Contribute to special strategic initiatives with the Head of Global Initiatives and SVP, Global Initiatives

Who You Are

You are a scientifically trained strategist who thrives at the boundary of deep science and structured problem‑solving. You are comfortable operating with senior leaders and equally comfortable doing the work yourself—from framing questions to building analyses and influencing decisions.

Qualifications

• PhD or MD in Life Sciences or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in management consulting (strategy and/or life sciences), biotech venture creation or investing, biopharma portfolio strategy, or related roles
• Strong understanding of biopharma R&D, clinical development, and regulatory pathways
• Experience working across multiple programs and stages of drug development
• Demonstrated experience with portfolio construction, scenario planning, and risk‑adjusted decision‑making
• Exceptional ability to synthesize complex data and communicate clearly with executives
• Proven ability to influence senior scientific and business leaders without formal authority
• Experience within the Flagship ecosystem is strongly valued

About Pioneering Intelligence

Pioneering Intelligence builds on Flagship Pioneering's legacy of founding cutting-edge science and computational ventures, harnessing recent advances in AI, machine learning, and data to accelerate fundamental research and create a portfolio of AI-first companies. As part of Flagship's integrated model of science, entrepreneurship, and capital, it transforms breakthrough ideas into world-changing companies, elevating the AI advances happening across the ecosystem in human health, sustainability, and beyond.

The Role

The Pioneering Intelligence team at Flagship Pioneering builds the digital and AI foundation that accelerates the creation and growth of our companies. We are seeking a Vice President of Engineering to lead a medium sized team of Principal Software Engineers, each operating as the technical authority for their own product area.

This is a non-traditional engineering leadership role. Rather than managing a layered organization, you will build and support a team composed entirely of senior individual contributors operating as technical leads at the highest level. Each engineer owns end-to-end technical decisions, builds hands-on, and engages directly with scientific users. Your job is not to manage their work but to set the conditions in which exceptional engineers do their best work, remove obstacles, raise the collective bar, and translate technical strategy into organizational direction.

You remain technically active. You will contribute to architectural decisions, review complex system designs, and stay close enough to the work to lead credibly. You spend roughly 25% of your time in hands-on technical work. The rest is spent on strategy, people, and organizational leadership: building the team, aligning with product leadership, representing the function to senior stakeholders, and driving the conditions for fast, high-quality delivery across the portfolio.

The model is intentionally fluid. Principal Engineers on this team may move between pure IC work and the formal coordination of other resources as project needs evolve, including the management of fully embedded software engineering contractors. It is the VP who balances resources across all teams and projects, in close collaboration with product and strategy leads, ensuring the right people are working on the right things at the right time.

You will work in close partnership with product and strategy leads and alongside a team of peers who expect the same rigor and accountability from you that you expect from them.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and develop a team of approximately five Principal Software Engineers, each owning technical authority for their own product area
• Set technical strategy and architectural direction for the AI and digital platform, making or ratifying the most consequential build-vs-buy and system design decisions
• Stay technically active: contribute to architectural reviews, design complex systems, and maintain the credibility to lead a team of principal-level engineers
• Build and maintain the team itself: hire exceptional engineers, develop their careers, and create a culture where the floor is principal-level performance
• Represent engineering to product leadership, senior stakeholders, and across the Flagship ecosystem, translating technical direction into business impact
• Balance resources across all teams and projects in close collaboration with product and strategy leads, including decisions about when Principal Engineers take on formal coordination of embedded SWE contractors versus pure IC work
• Drive delivery across the portfolio by removing blockers, resolving cross-team dependencies, and ensuring the team ships with speed and quality
• Model and advance an AI-native engineering culture, including the use of tools like Claude Code as organizational force multipliers

Professional Experience and Qualifications

Experiences

• Has led a team of senior individual contributors or principal-level engineers, ideally in a lean, high-velocity organization where the team was small and the scope was large
• Has served as the technical authority on a complex, production-grade system, not as a manager who delegates the hard parts, but as an engineer who owned them
• Has built and scaled engineering organizations in ambiguous, fast-moving environments, ideally at a startup or within a high-autonomy team inside a larger organization
• Has worked closely with scientific or domain-expert users and understands how to build products that serve researchers, not just operators
• Has hired and developed principal or staff-level engineers, with a track record of raising the technical bar of a team over time

Skills

• Technically credible at the system design level: can evaluate architectural decisions, identify risk in complex designs, and contribute meaningfully to the hardest engineering conversations
• Leads through clarity: sets direction, makes decisions, and communicates tradeoffs without requiring repeated alignment
• Builds teams, not just products: knows how to hire exceptionally, develop senior talent, and create conditions where strong engineers stay and grow
• Fluent in AI-native ways of working and comfortable leading a team that uses tools like Claude Code as a core part of their engineering practice
• Writes with the same precision they expect from their engineers: strategy docs, architectural reviews, and hiring rubrics that don't require a follow-up meeting

Traits

• Strategic and hands-on at the same time: comfortable moving between organizational leadership and technical depth without losing credibility in either
• High standards without bureaucracy: holds the team to an exceptional bar without slowing them down with process for its own sake
• Founder-minded: attracted to ambiguity, motivated by impact, and able to build clarity from uncertainty rather than waiting for it to arrive
• Direct and decisive: makes calls with available information, owns the outcomes, and creates psychological safety for their team to do the same
• Multiplier, not bottleneck: earns trust by making the people around them better, not by centralizing decisions

Why Pioneering Intelligence?

• Lead a team of principal-level engineers where the work is genuinely hard and the people are genuinely exceptional
• Shape the technical strategy of an AI-native platform at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and life sciences
• Operate with the autonomy and organizational support to build the team and culture you believe in
• Work at the frontier of AI-augmented engineering, where the tools are state-of-the-art and the model of how software gets built is being reinvented
• Collaborate with visionary scientists, founders, and builders across Flagship's ecosystem
• Competitive compensation and benefits, including equity, commensurate with experience

About the Role

Flagship's GRC program has matured from build to operate. We have a functioning GRC system of record in Jira, active compliance tracks across HITRUST, NIST 800-171, ISO 27001, and SOC 2, and a TPRM workflow in production. What we need now is a hands-on practitioner who can execute against that infrastructure — someone who is as comfortable running a vendor risk assessment in Jira as they are prepping evidence packages for an audit. This is not a policy-writing or director-level role. It is a technical execution role for someone who gets things done.

What You'll Do

• Own day-to-day execution of the GRC system of record in Jira — maintaining control records, updating compliance status, logging implementation and auditor notes, and keeping the SOR current across all active frameworks
• Run TPRM assessments end-to-end: intake, questionnaire review, risk scoring, CISO decision documentation, and post-approval tracking
• Coordinate audit evidence collection and control testing activities across HITRUST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and NIST 800-171 frameworks, working directly with the external audit firm
• Maintain the compliance calendar and drive sprint-by-sprint execution against framework deadlines
• Manage sub-processor and DPA tracking for portfolio company privacy programs, including gap identification and remediation follow-up
• Support DSR and privacy program operations, including data inventory maintenance and deletion workflow tracking
• Build and maintain GRC automation using AI tools (Claude, Jira automation, Zapier) to reduce manual burden on recurring compliance tasks
• Produce clear, accurate reporting on compliance posture for the CISO and cross-functional stakeholders

What We're Looking For

• 3–6 years of hands-on GRC experience, ideally in a fast-moving tech or life sciences environment
• Direct experience working in Jira as a compliance or GRC tool — not just a project management tool; you should understand issue types, custom fields, bulk operations, and reporting
• Working knowledge of at least two of: HITRUST CSF, ISO 27001, NIST 800-171/CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA
• Experience running vendor risk assessments — intake to decision — not just filling out questionnaires
• Comfort with AI-assisted work: you should already be using tools like Claude or ChatGPT to accelerate your GRC work, not learning to do so for the first time
• Strong written communication — you'll be producing evidence narratives, audit responses, and control documentation that external auditors and regulators will read
• Ability to operate with high autonomy; the CISO will provide direction but not day-to-day supervision

Nice to Have

• CISA, CRISC, CISM, or equivalent certification
• Experience with privacy program operations (CCPA, GDPR, DSR workflows)
• Familiarity with Drata, Vanta, or similar compliance automation platforms
• Experience supporting a portfolio company or multi-entity compliance program

Why This Role

You'll own a real compliance program, not support someone else's. The CISO is your direct partner, not a distant approver. You'll use modern tools — Jira, Claude, Zapier — to do GRC work that most teams still do in spreadsheets. And you'll have visibility into a genuinely diverse security environment spanning drug discovery AI, clinical platforms, and life sciences infrastructure.

We are an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will be considered for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. 

We recognize that great candidates often bring unique strengths without fulfilling every qualification. If you have some of the experience listed above but not all, please apply anyway. We are dedicated to building diverse and inclusive teams and look forward to learning more about your background and interest in Flagship.

Who We Are

Flagship Pioneering is a biotechnology company that invents and builds platform companies that change the world. We bring together the greatest scientific minds with entrepreneurial company builders and assemble the capital to allow them to take courageous leaps. Those big leaps in human health and sustainability exponentially accelerate scientific progress in areas ranging from cancer detection and treatment to nature-positive agriculture.  

What sets Flagship apart is our ability to advance biotechnology by uniting life science innovation, company creation, and capital investment under one roof in a way that is largely without precedent. Our scientific founders, entrepreneurial leaders, and professional capital managers are each aligned around an institutionalized process that enables us to innovate and transform for the benefit of people and planet.  

Many of the companies Flagship has founded have addressed humanity’s most urgent challenges: vaccinating billions of people against COVID-19, curing intractable diseases, improving human health, preempting illness, and feeding the world by improving the resiliency and sustainability of agriculture. 

Flagship has been recognized twice on FORTUNE’s “Change the World” list, an annual ranking of companies that have made a positive social and environmental impact through activities that are part of their core business strategies, and has been twice named to Fast Company’s annual list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies.

About the Role

The Information Security team has strong detection and response capability and a maturing compliance program. This is a greenfield opportunity to build Flagship’s cloud security and application security engineering practice in earnest — with the CISO and Director of Security Engineering as your strategic partners and a well-resourced program behind you. You’ll define how cloud posture management, SSDLC security, and cloud-side DLP get done at Flagship — in deep partnership with the Infrastructure & Operations team, who are your primary counterparts for cloud architecture, network, and endpoint infrastructure. What makes this role distinctive is the expectation that you’ll build AI-augmented workflows from the start — using LLMs and agentic tooling to handle the routine 80% so your expertise stays focused on the 20% that actually requires human judgment. If you want to own a practice area rather than execute someone else’s playbook, this is that role. You'll own the technical execution of cloud security and AppSec across Flagship and its portfolio, working directly with engineering teams to embed security into their pipelines, not just review them after the fact.

What You'll Own

• Cloud security posture management: own remediation execution against Wiz findings in close partnership with Infrastructure & Operations — building shared remediation playbooks, coordinating finding resolution across AWS environments, and ensuring security controls are implemented consistently with I&O’s infrastructure standards
• CI/CD and SSDLC security: design and implement security guardrails in engineering pipelines — SAST, secrets scanning, IaC security, container scanning — working directly with portfolio engineering teams, and building AI-powered pipeline security automation (e.g., LLM-assisted code review, automated fix suggestions for SAST findings) that reduces developer friction and scales security coverage beyond what manual review allows
• Cloud-side DLP enforcement: build and operationalize data loss prevention controls at the cloud and application layer, not just policy definition
• Cloud identity and access: own technical execution on Entra/Azure AD conditional access, BYOD policy enforcement, and cloud identity governance in partnership with Infrastructure & Operations, who manage the underlying directory and endpoint infrastructure
• Detection engineering (cloud layer): write and tune cloud-side detection rules and contribute to alert fidelity improvements in partnership with the SOC
• AI platform security: contribute to security architecture reviews and guardrail design for AI-powered portfolio products, including Bedrock and EKS-based platforms
• Serve as the embedded security engineering partner for portfolio company engineering teams — not a reviewer at the end of the process, but a collaborator throughout it
• Design and maintain AI-augmented workflows across all functional areas you own — using LLMs, agentic tooling, and automation to multiply your own capacity. You'll be expected to treat AI as a core part of your engineering toolkit, not an experiment: building prompt-driven triage pipelines, automating remediation drafting, and continuously identifying where human judgment is the bottleneck versus where it's being wasted on pattern-matchable work.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years in cloud security, application security, or a closely related security engineering discipline
• Deep hands-on experience with AWS security services (Security Hub, GuardDuty, IAM, SCPs, CloudTrail) and cloud posture tooling — Wiz experience strongly preferred
• Practical AppSec experience: you've integrated SAST/DAST/SCA tooling into CI/CD pipelines and worked directly with developers to resolve findings, not just filed tickets
• Experience with cloud identity platforms — Entra ID / Azure AD, including conditional access policy design and enforcement
• Ability to write infrastructure-as-code and scripting to automate security controls (Python, Terraform, or equivalent), including comfort working with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, and agentic orchestration frameworks
• Demonstrated experience building AI-augmented security workflows — you've used LLMs, agentic frameworks, or AI-assisted tooling to automate security tasks at scale, not just experimented with ChatGPT. You should be able to articulate which security problems are well-suited to AI automation and which aren't.
• Strong enough communication skills to be credible with engineering leadership and portfolio company CTOs — you’ll be in technical design reviews, not just security reviews Proven ability to build trusted working relationships with Infrastructure & Operations teams — you approach I&O as a partner, not a gatekeeper, and can influence security outcomes through collaboration rather than mandate
• Comfort operating as a self-directed practitioner in a lean team; this role requires you to set your own execution priorities within a defined strategic direction

Nice to Have

• Experience securing ML/AI platforms — Bedrock, SageMaker, or comparable environments
• AWS Security Specialty, GWEB, OSCP, or equivalent certification
• Experience in a portfolio company or multi-entity security model
• Familiarity with HIPAA technical safeguard requirements and PHI data flows in cloud environments
• Experience designing or operating agentic AI workflows for security operations
• Container and Kubernetes security experience (EKS, image scanning, network policy)

Why This Role

This is a net-new capability role on a small team — you won't be executing someone else's existing playbook, you'll be building the cloud and AppSec program from a solid foundation. You’ll work directly with the CISO and collaborate closely with the Director of Security Engineering. Flagship's portfolio spans some of the most technically ambitious biology and AI work happening anywhere, and the security work reflects that complexity. If you want a role where the scope is real, the autonomy is genuine, and you have the freedom to build an AI-augmented security practice — this is it.

We are an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will be considered for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Role Summary:

The Director, IT Service Delivery & Operations is a senior leadership role operating at the intersection of strategy and execution. This position serves as the critical bridge between IT leadership priorities and operational delivery — translating strategic direction into actionable plans and ensuring execution remains aligned with organizational goals.

This role does not directly execute service delivery; it enables those who do. The Director establishes governance frameworks, defines performance expectations, and provides the structure, visibility, and accountability required for delivery teams to succeed. The role also leads initiative implementation through structured hypercare, ensuring successful adoption and transition into steady-state operations.

Working closely with the Sr. Director of IT Service Delivery, this leader co-shapes the service roadmap, advances ITIL 4 service management maturity, and builds the operational discipline required to scale IT services across Flagship and its portfolio.

Role Context

This role operates in close partnership with two key functions:

• Director, IT Service Delivery – owns execution of the service model, delivery teams, and stakeholder relationships.
• Service Excellence Manager – owns process design, reporting, ITSM practices, and operational coordination.

The Director, IT Service Delivery & Operations defines the governance, accountability, and performance frameworks within which these functions operate — enabling consistent, high-quality execution without owning day-to-day delivery.

• Maintain visibility into initiative progress; escalate risks, blockers, and decisions proactively.

2. Governance & Performance Oversight

• Define and govern SLAs, KPIs, OLAs, and reporting frameworks aligned to ITIL 4 principles.
• Interpret service performance data to identify systemic issues and improvement opportunities.
• Own the Continual Service Improvement (CSI) program, setting priorities and sponsoring initiatives.
• Conduct regular operating reviews; provide coaching and accountability across functions.
• Ensure customer experience metrics (e.g., CSAT/NPS) are measured and acted upon.

3. IT Asset Management (ITAM) Governance

• Establish and govern the ITAM program, including policies, lifecycle standards, and data integrity.
• Define CMDB governance and accountability for accuracy and completeness.
• Guide asset lifecycle processes (procurement, deployment, refresh, disposition).
• Leverage asset data to inform investment, lifecycle planning, and cost optimization.
• Partner with Finance and Procurement to align asset strategy with budgets and forecasts.

4. Vendor Governance & Performance

• Define vendor governance frameworks, onboarding standards, and performance expectations.
• Establish and enforce SLAs/KPIs within vendor contracts.
• Lead vendor performance reviews and drive accountability through data-backed insights.
• Partner with Legal and Procurement on renewals, negotiations, and performance remediation.

5. ITIL 4 & ITSM Maturity

• Sponsor adoption of core practices (Incident, Problem, Change, Service Request, Service Level).
• Establish governance forums (e.g., CAB, Problem Review Board) with clear decision structures.
• Govern ITSM platforms to ensure alignment with processes and continuous optimization.
• Track and report on service management maturity and performance trends.

6. Team Enablement & Leadership

• Define clear roles, responsibilities, and accountability structures across service delivery functions.
• Coach and develop team leaders, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
• Build organizational capability, talent pipelines, and succession plans.
• Promote a culture grounded in customer focus, operational rigor, and data-driven decision-making.

7. Strategic Partnership

• Partner with IT leadership to co-develop strategy, roadmaps, and capability plans.
• Represent the service delivery function in leadership forums and executive discussions.
• Contribute to business cases, budget planning, and investment decisions.
• Build strong relationships with stakeholders, IT peers, and strategic vendors.
• Identify risks and opportunities, providing actionable recommendations to leadership.

Qualifications

Required

• 10+ years of IT experience, including 5+ years in service delivery, operations, or ITSM leadership.
• Demonstrated ability to lead through governance and enablement rather than direct execution.
• Proven experience translating strategy into execution and leading initiatives through change.
• Strong background in ITIL-aligned service management and ITSM program development.
• Experience designing and governing ITAM/CMDB programs.
• Vendor management experience with performance accountability and contract alignment.
• Strong analytical and data interpretation skills.
• ITIL 4 Foundation certification (advanced certifications preferred).
• Experience governing enterprise ITSM platforms.
• Excellent communication skills across technical and executive audiences.

Preferred

• Experience in life sciences, biotech, or research environments.
• Familiarity with ITAM/HAM tooling within ITSM platforms.
• PMP or equivalent certification.
• Experience with IT financial management and budget planning.

THE ROLE

We are seeking a Senior Scientist to lead the design, characterization, and performance optimization of aerosolizable particle systems. This role will be responsible for developing a foundational understanding of how engineered particles behave during generation, dispersion, and transport in air, and translating that understanding into robust, scalable material and system designs.

The Senior Scientist will operate at the interface of materials science, aerosol physics, and experimental engineering — owning the development of aerosol testing capabilities, guiding experimental strategy, and linking particle design to airborne performance. This individual will play a critical role in shaping early technical direction, establishing core methodologies, and driving progress from concept through validation.

This is a highly cross-functional role, working closely with formulation, process development, and hardware teams to ensure tight integration between particle design, production methods, and real-world deployment constraints.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead the design and optimization of particle systems for aerosolization, with ownership over key parameters including size distribution, morphology, density, and dispersibility;
• Develop and scale experimental capabilities for aerosol generation and testing, including selection, design, and validation of dispersal systems and measurement tools;
• Define and execute experimental strategies to understand relationships between particle properties, environmental conditions, and airborne behavior;
• Characterize aerosol performance using appropriate instrumentation (e.g., particle sizers, optical counters, flow diagnostics), and translate findings into design rules and system improvements;
• Develop and apply computational approaches to model aerosol physics and particle dispersal, integrating atmospheric transport and dispersion models or Lagrangian particle simulations with experimental data to inform particle and system design;
• Collaborate cross-functionally with formulation and process development teams to align particle production methods with aerosol performance requirements;
• Establish best practices, workflows, and technical standards for aerosol experimentation, including calibration, reproducibility, and data quality;
• Interpret complex datasets and communicate insights clearly to guide technical and strategic decision-making;
• Contribute to system-level thinking around particle generation, dispersion, and scale-up, incorporating constraints from real-world operating environments;
• Mentor junior scientists and contribute to building a strong experimental and technical culture within the team.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS 

• PhD in aerosol science, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, materials science, or a related discipline, with 5+ years of relevant industry or applied research experience (or Master’s/Bachelor’s with significant additional experience);
• Deep expertise in aerosol science, including particle generation, transport, and measurement, with a strong understanding of how particle properties influence airborne behavior;
• Hands-on experience with aerosol instrumentation (e.g., SMPS, APS, optical particle counters) and the ability to design and interpret complex experiments;
• Strong foundation in transport phenomena, fluid dynamics, and particle physics as applied to airborne systems;
• Experience working with particulate materials, including connecting physical properties (size, shape, density, surface characteristics) to performance outcomes;
• Experience with modeling aerosol transport and dispersion using Lagrangian particle dispersion models, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, or related numerical approaches is a strong plus;
• Demonstrated ability to design experimental systems and build or adapt setups for aerosol generation and testing;
• Proven ability to lead technical projects in fast-paced, early-stage environments, balancing hands-on work with strategic thinking;
• Strong communication and documentation skills, with the ability to synthesize complex technical findings into clear, decision-relevant insights;
• Demonstrated curiosity, adaptability, and comfort working across disciplines to translate early-stage scientific ideas into functional systems.
