Toronto, Canada Apogee Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Full time

Chief Scientific Officer (CSO)

Apogee Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Apogee”), a privately-owned, well-funded biotechnology company located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is searching across Canada and the United States for a Chief Scientific Officer (“CSO”) to lead the company’s proprietary drug discovery platforms. Apogee is involved in the development of small molecules that modulate the (endo)cannabinoid system.

The Apogee CSO will drive the team’s research efforts with transparency and full responsibility to set and meet preclinical and early clinical milestones. The CSO will possess a PhD degree in pharmacology (preferred), chemistry or a related field, with a minimum of 15 years’ experience working at a high level in the pharmaceutical industry. The CSO must develop specific and measurable deliverables to demonstrate success, identify business opportunities and needs, and serve as the scientific leader. The successful CSO will have demonstrated expertise in cannabinoid/eCB neuropharmacology, a proven record of drug discovery accomplishments spanning key disciplines (pharmacology, chemistry, Drug Metabolism Pharmacokinetics (DMPK), in vivo efficacy, safety/toxicology). He/she must provide mentorship to the exceptional and growing team of scientists in Vancouver and interface with a growing CRO team (currently four full-time and one part-time scientists dedicated to Apogee at the CRO) that is supplementing the Vancouver scientists. The ideal candidate will have experience as a senior member of a therapeutic team working within the pharmaceutical house and a record of supervising but not necessarily managing senior scientists. The role of the CSO will be scientific rather than managerial in nature, in that CSO will likely spend 90% of their time on scientific initiatives in the near-term. Future responsibilities of the CSO could include, if appropriate, presenting to and liaising with outside investors, board of advisors, board of directors, regulatory agencies, academic partners, pharmaceutical partners, etc. This position is a rare opportunity to make career-defining contributions in an exciting scientific environment working shoulder-to-shoulder with the strong existing team, backed by passionate and hands-on executive management and investor.

The CSO candidate will report directly to the Chief Operating Officer. Apogee may accommodate a well-qualified non-local candidate via a combination of remote work and visits to Vancouver.

Interested candidates should provide their CV, and in the future be able to include three professional references who could speak to the candidate’s skills given the job description above. Please forward information and queries to:
