## About the role

Our lead product candidate, palazestrant, is a novel, orally available complete estrogen receptor antagonist (CERAN) and selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) currently in two pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials. We expect top-line data from OPERA-01, our ongoing Phase 3 trial of palazestrant as a monotherapy in patients with second- or third-line ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer (MBC), in Q1 2027 which, if positive, could lead to our first potential approval and commercial launch in 2028. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

- Own the commercial supply budget, COGS inputs, supply cost KPIs and tariff exposure in partnership with Finance
- Lead supply-side launch readiness from NDA submission through PDUFA and market entry, maintain the launch risk register and present status, risks and mitigation options to executive leadership
- Negotiate and own commercial supply agreements, run quarterly business reviews and performance metrics across DS, DP, packaging and logistics partners
