Job description

About N-Power Medicine
N-Power Medicine is a company leading the reinvention of the clinical trial process. N-Power partners with community oncologists through its proprietary real-time Kaleido Registry and AI-enabled point-of-care platform, complemented by virtual and on-site support, to optimize research and patient care workflows. N-Power’s unique model will dramatically shorten oncology drug development timelines by (1) unlocking clinical trial participation for the vast number of oncologists and cancer patients in the community setting, and (2) enabling smaller, faster clinical trials with non-randomized designs, through prospectively-generated external controls based on standard-of-care patients.

We are building an exceptional multi-disciplinary team with diverse expertise spanning drug development, healthcare delivery, data science, technology, and regulatory, and with people who share our core value of Empowering Community through generosity, curiosity and humility. We are rapidly scaling our network of community oncology practices and are generating revenue from a growing base of BioPharma customers.

-Partner with Legal, Compliance, Procurement, and business stakeholders to support complex contract negotiations and ensure alignment with organizational standards and risk frameworks.
-Ensure seamless transition of closed opportunities from Business Development to Operations, ensuring alignment and continuity throughout project initiation.
-Provide regular reporting and insights on pipeline performance, revenue opportunities, and the overall health of the pharmaceutical portfolio.
-Collaborate on talent strategies including hiring, onboarding, and retention initiatives to strengthen organizational capability and team engagement.
-Provide strategic direction, mentorship, and performance coaching to cultivate a collaborative, high-performing team culture.
-Represent the organization at industry conferences and events, actively building and maintaining a robust network of external partners and stakeholders.
