About Chai Discovery

Chai Discovery builds the computer-aided design suite for molecules. Eli Lilly, GSK, Pfizer, Bristol Myers Squibb, argenx and Novartis all use Chai to power drug discovery programs. AI is reinventing life sciences the same way it reinvented software engineering, and our team is building that future.

We train frontier models that learn the underlying foundations of biochemical structure and interaction. We pair this with a computational workspace to iterate on molecules from idea to medicine, helping scientists move faster and develop medicines beyond the reach of existing methods.

We value diverse perspectives and are ready to find greatness in unexpected places.

About the role

We are building out our partnerships founding team and looking to make a few key hires to anchor the effort. You will help set the terms and drive deal execution with the world's leading life sciences companies, establishing relationships that will shape our future.

These are complex transactions with sophisticated partners. You'll need to lean into the many details that make these partnerships work, while creating urgency and alignment around a common vision.

This is a critical role at a pivotal time for the business: Deal volume and demand are accelerating fast. It will be a lot of fun, a lot of work, and extraordinarily rewarding.

About you

We index on outlier performance and relentless execution. You sweat the small stuff, you think big, you always take ownership, and you strive for win-win outcomes. We can count on you.

We value biopharma domain experience and deal-making savvy, and we are also more than willing to make a bet on rising talent. Low-ego, high-EQ, motivated and mission-driven is what we're looking for.

We offer

The opportunity to work at the vanguard of AI research and frontier biology, with world-class people, on a mission that matters. We protect and promote a culture of high velocity and ownership. We compensate our team accordingly.
