About the role

More about this role
This role sits on Formation's Asset Acquisition & Diligence (AAD) team. In the course of evaluating and completing diligence on individual drug assets, our Data Science team runs sophisticated one-off analyses (e.g. a novel algorithm run against a specific gene or indication, a causal model built for a specific therapeutic hypothesis). Much of that work directly shapes a specific deal decision in the moment.
This role exists to take these and scale them into strategies and tools that can provide an organization level advantage. You will own the judgment call of which asset-evaluation and diligence analyses have generalization potential across the AAD team's sourcing and evaluation work, and what form that generalization should take: sometimes a landscape analysis (the same method run not on one gene, but on every gene, surfaced as a standing analysis that informs sourcing rather than a product), sometimes a fully engineered, scaled tool built in partnership with Data Science and Engineering. You are the connective tissue between one-off diligence work and durable diligence and sourcing capability.
This is a hybrid science and product role on AAD. You will set technical and product...
