*Note: exact level depending on experience*

Company Overview:

Vividion is a next generation biotechnology company based in San Diego that is leveraging its proprietary chemical proteomics platform to conduct proteome-wide footprinting of drug-protein interactions with unprecedented breadth and precision. Our technology allows us to screen, identify and optimize novel drugs that selectively bind virtually any protein, including proteins previously considered “undruggable”. Our pipeline and emerging programs reflect a matured and productive platform capable of delivering first in class drugs utilizing novel mechanisms of action (allosteric inhibitors, protein-protein interaction inhibitors, functional activators, degraders etc.) against undruggable targets in the oncology and immunology space.

We prize scientific excellence, creativity, team players and we are committed to continued innovation. We have worked hard to create a collaborative and dynamic work culture where your ideas and discoveries are valued and will have an impact. We are growing and there are opportunities for mentorship and career progression.

Vividion has been recognized as a Top Workplace by The San Diego Union-Tribune from 2022 to 2025.

Position Summary:

This role will champion and support bidirectional translational medicine strategy, ensuring that discoveries are effectively translated into clinical development while clinical findings are systematically reverse-translated to inform discovery research, preclinical models, biomarker strategies, and the design of future clinical studies.

The candidate will serve as the translational lead across multiple programs, partnering closely with Discovery Biology, Pharmacology, Toxicology, Clinical Development, Bioinformatics, Clinical Operations and Regulatory. The role requires a highly collaborative leader with deep expertise in translational science, biomarker strategy, human disease biology, and precision medicine.
