Senior Clinical Scientist

Faeth Therapeutics is a clinical-stage oncology company listed on Nasdaq that recently raised $200M in funding. With a strong scientific foundation and a founding team that includes the discoverer of the PI3K pathway, we are advancing PIKTOR, a multi-node PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitor program, into late stage development. We are a small, focused team where every person has direct impact — united by a shared commitment to care deeply, create boldly, and never stop learning.

This individual will drive cross-functional collaboration, provide strategic input into clinical development plans, and ensure delivery of high-quality data to support regulatory and scientific objectives. The role requires deep scientific expertise, operational insight, and the ability to influence both internal and external stakeholders.
