About the role

What they're looking for

  • Own the annual strategic planning process: designing the framework, aligning cross-functional leadership, and producing the outputs that guide resource allocation and prioritization
  • Drive goal-setting and operational planning processes (including OKRs or equivalent frameworks) that connect enterprise strategy to affiliate and functional execution
  • Identify and frame the most important strategic questions facing the company, and bring structured thinking and rigorous analysis to answering them
  • Build and maintain analytical frameworks that allow leadership to assess portfolio risk, opportunity, and strategic fit with clarity and consistency
  • Support affiliate leadership in developing and stress-testing their own strategic plans, ensuring alignment with enterprise priorities
  • Synthesize external signals into strategic implications: scientific advances, competitor pipeline developments, regulatory shifts, and market dynamics that could reshape BridgeBio’s position or sequencing decisions

In 2015, we pioneered a “moneyball for biotech” approach, pooling projects and promising early-stage research from academia together under one financial umbrella to reduce risk and unleash innovation.

Together we define white space, push boundaries, and empower people to solve problems. If you're someone who defies convention, join us and work alongside some of the most respected minds in the industry. Together, we'll ask "why not?" and help reengineer the future of biopharma. At BridgeBio, we value curiosity and experimentation—including the ethical & thoughtful use of AI to improve clarity, speed, and quality of work.
