About the role
BeOne continues to grow at a rapid pace, offering challenging and exciting opportunities for experienced professionals who want to make a meaningful impact. As a global, science-driven biopharmaceutical company, BeOne is committed to advancing innovative medicines through deep biological insight, rigorous translational science, and strong cross-functional collaboration. While oncology remains a core focus, BeOne is rapidly expanding its immunology and inflammation portfolio, with the goal of delivering transformative therapies for patients with serious autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases.
Responsibilities
- Act as the clinical biomarker lead for assigned immunology/autoimmune clinical programs and studies, serving as the primary biomarker contact for cross-functional study teams.
- Develop and implement translational and clinical biomarker strategies to support clinical development, including pharmacodynamic and mechanism-related biomarkers, dose and regimen optimization, and patient stratification; contribute to CDx strategy where appropriate.
- Interpret and communicate clinical biomarker data to support study execution and key program decisions.
- Collaborate closely with assay development, CDx, clinical operations, and analytical teams to ensure biomarker approaches are fit-for-purpose and effectively implemented in clinical studies.
- Lead biomarker-related content for clinical protocols and associated documents, in alignment with clinical objectives and regulatory expectations.
- Coordinate external vendors and partners supporting biomarker and translational activities.
- Identify translational and biomarker gaps and contribute to targeted research efforts to strengthen clinical hypotheses.
- Apply immunology and autoimmune disease expertise to guide biomarker selection and interpretation across clinical programs.
- Contribute to scientific publications and external communications in collaboration with internal stakeholders.
Qualifications and Requirements
- Ph.D. in immunology or a related life science discipline, with 4+ years of industry experience in translational medicine, translational research, or clinical development support.
- Strong background in immunology, with experience in autoimmune or immune-mediated diseases; exposure to dermatology, rheumatology, nephrology, and/or IBD is preferred.
- Demonstrated experience applying translational approaches to inform mechanism, dose, patient selection, or clinical strategy across early and/or late-stage programs.
- Solid working knowledge of clinical biomarker science, with experience partnering with assay development and CDx teams.
- Prominent ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional, matrixed environments and with external partners.
- Strong scientific thinking, data interpretation, and communication skills.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced development setting.
- Proficiency with standard scientific and business software (e.g., MS Office); experience with GraphPad Prism for data visualization and figure generation; familiarity with clinical data review platforms, dashboards, and document management systems commonly used in drug development.
