About the Role
Alloy’s Partnership Office runs one of the most active BD operations in biotech, with dozens of live threads spanning platform licensing, co-development, R&D service partnerships, and company creation. The pace is high, the work is varied, and most things are moving at once. This role is how that activity turns into outcomes. You’ll work directly with the Chief Business Officer and, for better or worse, have frequent communication with the CEO. As an execution and strategy partner, you will be translating conversations, ideas, and partial inputs into clear, high-quality deliverables that move work forward, whether that’s a partner follow-up, a proposal, or materials for an upcoming meeting. The work is fast-moving and not always fully scoped. You’ll need to prioritize effectively, ask questions when needed, and independently drive work to completion. A typical day might start with a few messages across different partnership threads and quickly turn into deliverables around in-flight initiatives for partners or leadership. This role operates similarly to a Chief of Staff, with a focus on execution rather than coordination. It is not administrative or logistical, dedicated support exists for that. The focus here is maintaining momentum across all active workstreams within partnerships and ensuring nothing stalls. For someone looking to build a career in partnerships or strategy, this role offers early ownership and direct exposure to how deals come together across the biotech ecosystem.
Responsibilities
- Own and produce a high volume of partnership deliverables (i.e. proposals, decks, emails, term sheets, and briefing documents) at speed and level that is partner-ready.
- Operate as an extension of the Chief Business Officer, advancing priorities, following up without prompting, and keeping workstreams moving.
- Manage cross-divisional pipeline initiatives across all active threads: follow up with counterparties, and flag where things are slowing down.
- Build clear, effective materials that translate partnership ideas into something others can quickly understand and act on.
- Draft external communications, including partner outreach, follow-ups, and conference-related materials.
- Prepare materials for partner meetings, board updates, and executive reviews.
- Identify gaps in execution, if something isn’t being tracked or moved forward, step in and take ownership. Improve how the operation runs by identifying friction points and putting simple systems in place to address them.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in biotech, biopharma, consulting, CRO/CDMO, or a related environment with exposure to partnerships, BD, or commercial work.
- Working knowledge of the biotech landscape, including drug discovery, platform technologies, and partnership models.
- Strong track record of operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where priorities shift and direction may be limited.
- Clear ownership mindset – able to take work from initial input through to completion without heavy oversight.
- Excellent written communicator, with the ability to produce polished work across formats quickly.
- Strong prioritization skills and the ability to manage multiple active threads at once.
- Comfortable using AI tools to support research, drafting, and execution.
- Expert level ability to build clear, effective narratives and presentations in PowerPoint or Google Slides.
