Role: Biotech Project Manager – Oncology (CMC / Clinical Support)
Location: Galway, Ireland (on-site)

The Company
This pioneering cell therapy biotech is developing a breakthrough neutrophil-based platform designed to transform the treatment of solid tumours. Unlike patient-specific T-cell therapies, their approach is donor-derived, scalable, and consistent, enabling true manufacturing at scale and efficient delivery to patients. The therapy harnesses the natural tumour-fighting abilities of neutrophils, which can also be engineered to enhance anti-cancer activity.

The company is entering an exciting growth phase, with its first-in-human clinical trial due to begin in Galway within the next 12 months. GMP manufacturing is supported by a specialist CDMO partner, while the UK headquarters lead innovation, translational research, and CMC strategy. With strong leadership and a clear clinical path ahead, this is a rare opportunity to be part of a next-generation oncology therapy at the point where science translates into patient impact.

The Team
The role reports directly to the CSO, working closely with senior scientific and operational leaders.
