Over one million people in the world today are fighting blood cancer. While a traditional allogeneic stem cell transplant has been the best hope for many patients, the transplant itself can prove fatal or lead to serious conditions, such as graft versus host disease.

Orca Bio's investigational, high-precision cell therapies are designed to replace a patient's compromised blood and immune system with a healthy one, while dramatically lowering the risk of developing life-threatening or debilitating transplant-related side-effects. The first application of Orca Bio’s platform is in blood cancer where the unmet need is most acute; with a robust pipeline of promising cell therapies, we plan to extend into autoimmune diseases and genetic blood disorders as well.

This role will assist with the day-to-day management of Orca Bio’s clinical studies and ensure that the studies are delivered on time, within budget, with high quality data, and in compliance with the protocol, standard operating procedures, good clinical practice guidelines, and other applicable laws and regulatory requirements. You will assist with managing day-to-day activities of CROs, clinical vendors, and an in-house CRA team.

Oversee the collection, review and filing of site essential documents, and maintenance of the TMF.

Provide support for site initiation, interim monitoring, and close out visits as needed.
