Key Responsibilities
• Lead the development and execution of regulatory strategies for one or more clinical-stage oncolytic virus programs from current stage through IND filing of the next candidate.
• Advise on optimal clinical trial designs, endpoints, and patient populations to support regulatory interactions and expedite approval pathways in oncology.
• Prepare and/or review briefing packages, meeting requests, and responses for FDA interactions (pre-IND, IND, EOP1, EOP2, pre-NDA/BLA).
• Guide strategy for expedited designations (Fast Track, Breakthrough Therapy, RMAT if applicable) and Accelerated Approval pathways, including surrogate endpoint justification and confirmatory study planning.
• Provide regulatory intelligence on evolving FDA/EMA guidance relevant to oncolytic viruses and advanced therapies.
• Collaborate with the internal team to ensure alignment between clinical, manufacturing, and nonclinical plans and regulatory expectations.
• Participate in ad-hoc meetings (typically 1–2 per week) and be available for targeted document review.
Required Qualifications
• Minimum 10 years of regulatory affairs experience in the biopharmaceutical industry, with direct involvement in all phases of development (IND through NDA/BLA).
• Strong track record in oncology drug development (cell/gene therapy experience highly valued).
• Demonstrated success obtaining and maintaining FDA expedited programs: Fast Track, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, and/or Accelerated Approval.
• Deep familiarity with FDA regulations, guidance documents, and meeting processes (Type B/C meetings, pre-IND, etc.).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate complex regulatory concepts into clear, actionable recommendations for a small, agile team.
Preferred Qualifications
• Direct experience with oncolytic viruses, viral vector therapies, or other live-virus products.
• Prior consulting or fractional regulatory leadership experience in small biotech companies.
• Experience with both U.S. and ex-U.S. regulatory interactions (EMA, Health Canada, etc.).
What We Offer
• Competitive hourly consulting rate commensurate with experience.
• Opportunity to make a significant impact on the development of potentially transformative cancer therapies.
• Fully remote, flexible engagement with a lean, science-driven team.
• Possibility of extension or transition to broader scope as the company grows.
We will review applications on a rolling basis and look forward to speaking with experienced regulatory leaders who are excited to help bring innovative oncolytic virus therapies to patients.
