Cardiff, UK - Hybrid

Be one of the first applicants, read the complete overview of the role below, then send your application for consideration.

Antiverse are building something genuinely different in AI-driven antibody drug discovery, and this is a key scientific leadership hire at the centre of it.

They’re looking for a VP of Antibody Development to take ownership of how programmes move from discovery through in vivo and into partner-ready assets, with a clear path through to CSO.

This is a role for someone who wants real scientific influence, not just oversight.

What you’ll actually be doing

• Owning progression of internal and partnered programmes from hit through to in vivo validation
• Defining and prioritising pipeline strategy, making clear, data-driven decisions
• Designing and overseeing in vivo studies, working closely with CROs
• Translating in vitro data into strong in vivo hypotheses
• Driving optimisation to ensure assets are genuinely ready for downstream development and partnering
• Managing CROs across timelines, budgets and quality
• Working closely with leadership on broader scientific strategy
• Acting as a key external face of the science, with partners, investors and the wider network
• Playing a big part in building out the team over time

What they need

• 12–20+ years in antibody therapeutics or biologics R&D
• PhD in a relevant field
• Proven track record of progressing programmes
• Strong experience working with and managing CROs
• Comfortable in a fast-moving, early-stage environment
• Someone who wants to step into a bigger leadership role over time

Why it’s worth a conversation

You’re not just running programmes here, you’re shaping how the pipeline is built and progressed. There’s proper ownership, direct input into strategy, and a clear route into a CSO position. xwzovoh

If you want to be closer to the science and still have real influence on direction, this is a strong opportunity.
