More than one million people in the United States today are fighting blood cancer. While a traditional allogeneic stem cell transplant has been the best hope for many, the transplant itself can prove fatal or lead to serious conditions, such as graft vs. host disease. Orca Bio is a late-stage biotechnology company redefining the transplant process by developing next-generation cell therapies with the goal of providing significantly better survival rates with dramatically fewer risks. With our purified, high-precision investigational cell therapies we hope to not only replace patients' blood and immune systems with healthy ones, but also restore their lives.
Summary
The Site Onboarding & Market Enablement Lead will be responsible for driving the execution of Orca Bio’s treatment center onboarding, activation, and ongoing site engagement to ensure operational readiness for ORCA-T administration. This role will develop and implement scalable models and processes for site onboarding, treatment center certification, and institutional support to enable a smooth launch and sustained adoption of the therapy. This position will work cross-functionally with teams across commercial, operational, and clinical functions and will manage a growing team as the program scales.
