In 2015, we pioneered a “moneyball for biotech” approach, pooling projects and promising early-stage research from academia together under one financial umbrella to reduce risk and unleash innovation. This model allows science and small teams of experts to lead the way. We build bridges to groundbreaking advancements in rare disease, and develop life-changing medicines for patients with unmet needs as fast as humanly possible.
Together we define white space, push boundaries, and empower people to solve problems. If you're someone who defies convention, join us and work alongside some of the most respected minds in the industry. Together, we'll ask "why not?" and help reengineer the future of biopharma. At BridgeBio, we value curiosity and experimentation—including the ethical & thoughtful use of AI to improve clarity, speed, and quality of work.

About this role
BridgeBio's moneyball approach to biotech—pooling early-stage research to accelerate rare disease drug development—creates a distinctive environment for clinical leadership. As Senior Director of Clinical Development, you'd report to the VP and serve as the medical lead for chronic hypoparathyroidism programs, owning strategy and execution from study design through regulatory submission. This means hands-on medical oversight of clinical trials, cross-functional team leadership, protocol authorship, safety monitoring, and direct engagement with investigators, KOLs, and regulatory authorities.
The role demands an MD with at least five years of biotech or pharma experience and a track record of increasing medical leadership responsibility. Expertise in rare disease and endocrinology is strongly preferred; direct experience with hypoparathyroidism or metabolic disease would be particularly valuable. You'll need solid command of clinical trial design, medical monitoring, ICH-GCP standards, and global regulatory pathways, paired with the communication skills to influence across functions and represent the company at scientific congresses.
This is a full-time, in-office position in San Francisco with periodic travel for investigator meetings and regulatory interactions. Compensation ranges from $340,000 to $375,000, with equity, performance bonus, and comprehensive benefits including employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage. The role suits a physician leader who thrives in mission-driven, fast-paced environments and is genuinely motivated by improving outcomes for patients with unmet needs.
