Director of AI / ML Drug Discovery
Company: Stealth-mode AI/ML Biotech
Partnered by: KEMIO Consulting KEMIO Consulting is working exclusively with one of the most exciting next-generation biotech companies out there - a stealth organisation using AI and machine learning to completely reimagine how drugs are discovered. They're not just talking about "data-driven discovery" - they're doing it. Building new engines for insight, creating intelligent systems that accelerate target discovery, and translating complex biological data into life-changing therapeutics. As Director of AI/ML , you'll lead a brilliant, multi-disciplinary team of data scientists, ML researchers, and engineers - shaping how AI drives the company's R&D strategy.
You'll combine scientific depth with strategic vision to design and implement high-impact analytics, from biomarker discovery and patient stratification to new therapeutic concepts. You'll:
- Lead and grow a talented AI/ML team (5-8 specialists) within a cutting-edge R&D environment
- Guide the design, testing, and deployment of next-generation AI models and computational pipelines
- Collaborate with biology, data, and IT teams to turn algorithms into real drug-discovery impact
- Shape the organisation's AI roadmap and represent the function at leadership level
- Build frameworks for scientific rigour, operational excellence, and innovation at scale
You bring both technical gravitas and emotional intelligence, capable of leading experts and influencing peers across a complex R&D ecosystem. You'll likely have:
- A PhD or MD in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Physics, or a related field
- Proven experience leading AI/ML teams within pharma, biotech, or techbio
- Strong technical depth in advanced analytics, ML, data science, or software engineering
- Familiarity with cloud-based infrastructures and CI/CD pipelines
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate science into strategy
You'll work with visionary leaders, the latest technology, and a shared mission: to transform R&D and deliver first-in-class therapeutics through the power of data. For a confidential discussion contact KEMIO Consulting to explore this opportunity in confidence.
