We are searching for a scientific leader to head the computational team focused on protein engineering, biologics, and delivery vectors within a drug design platform organisation.

This role owns people leadership, scientific quality, and operational delivery, overseeing the application of advanced computational methods across internal programmes and partner-driven projects.

Working closely with senior scientific and platform leadership, you will translate strategy into execution shaping how computational capabilities are developed, standardised, and scaled, while ensuring high-quality, on-time delivery of work that directly supports therapeutic design and development.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a multidisciplinary Protein & Vector Engineering team
  • Own delivery of computational work across client, partner, and internal programmes
  • Coordinate closely with computational, translational, and platform teams to ensure smooth execution
  • Drive improvements in workflow standardisation, quality, and operational efficiency
  • Translate scientific and business priorities into resourcing plans and execution roadmaps
  • Provide clear delivery updates, risk assessments, and recommendations to senior stakeholders

What You’ll Bring

  • PhD in Computational Chemistry, Structural Bioinformatics, Data Science, or related field
  • Proven experience leading scientific or technical teams in an industrial setting
  • Strong background in computational drug design, biologics, peptides, or vector engineering
  • Demonstrated ability to turn strategy into operational delivery
  • Excellent communication skills and comfort working across disciplines

Nice to Have

  • Experience with cloud or HPC-based molecular simulations
  • Exposure to end-to-end computational drug discovery pipelines
  • Familiarity with reproducible research and workflow management
  • Experience scaling or industrialising AI / computational modelling platforms
