đOur missionÂ
We're powering biology's century with radically faster, more reliable clinical trials. Every new treatment needs clinical trials to prove safety and efficacy, but today's infrastructure is stuck in the past- driving up cost, causing delays and ultimately meaning new treatments donât get to patients. We're fundamentally changing that- not just being a "better CRO," but transforming how people think about developing new treatments, so patients can access breakthrough treatments faster.
Our impact speaks for itself: Since March 2021, we've powered 100+ clinical trials involving tens of thousands of patients. We recently raised a $55M Series B from Balderton Capital, alongside backing from Creandum, Firstminute, Seedcamp, and Visionaries.
đWhat's it like to work here?
When you join us, youâll experience:
High-Impact, Mission-Driven Work: Lindus is disrupting an outdated industry, giving you the chance to directly improve patientsâ lives and see tangible results from your work.
Fast-Paced Growth & Ownership: We recognise hard work and outcomes over anything else. Youâll take on real responsibility, work across different areas, and actively shape the companyâs success.
Collaborative, No-Ego Culture: Work with smart, driven people in a supportive and informal environment. At Lindus we break down silos, fun is a core value, and creativity is encouraged.
Ready to power biology's century? We'd love to hear from you.
Lindus Therapeutics (LTx - lindustx.com) is our newly launched initiative to build a portfolio of in-licensed clinical-stage assets. The thesis is simple. Across pharma and biotech, strong assets are routinely deprioritised for commercial or strategic reasons rather than scientific ones. We in-license those assets and aim to advance them through lean, best-in-class proof-of-concept studies our clinical trial platform. Weâre targeting a first tranche of 4â5 assets, with trials starting in 2027.
As Associate, Corporate Development, youâll report directly into our VP Corporate Development and sit at the core of the deal team. Youâll run the engine of asset evaluation (from screening through to commercial diligence and deal structuring) and help build the materials that shape sponsor, investor, and board conversations. This is an early-stage role with unusually direct exposure to the Co-CEOs and the people making the decisions.
This role is based in our London office near London Bridge, with an expectation that youâd be with the team in-person 3 days a week.
đAbout you
Weâd like to hear from you ifâŚ
2-3 yearsâ experience at a top strategy or life sciences consultancy, a biotech corporate development or BD team, or an investment role focused on healthcare.
A medical degree, life sciences PhD, or similarly rigorous scientific background is strongly preferred. You can read a clinical data package and hold your own in a scientific discussion.
Strong commercial judgement. You can size a market for a therapeutic asset, conduct an rNPV valuation, pressure-test a commercial thesis, and identify where a therapeutic area is heading.
Excellent Excel and PowerPoint skills. Youâre comfortable building peak sales forecasts, competitive benchmarks, and deal economics from scratch, and turning them into clean, persuasive slides.
Clear writer. You can produce concise internal memos and external-facing materials without a lot of editing.
High ownership. You drive work to completion and raise your hand when something is off, rather than waiting to be directed.
AI- and LLM-fluent. You use the latest tools to work faster and better across research, synthesis, modelling support, and presentation development, with strong judgment on where human review matters..
Genuine interest in drug development, deal-making, and the economics of biotech. You know how to read a patent.
You belong here! If your experience and interests match those above, we want you to apply.

Driving commercial diligence on shortlisted assets, including peak sales modelling, competitive benchmarking, indication prioritisation, and exit pathway analysis.
