Senior Operating Partner, Drug Design, London

Isomorphic Labs is applying frontier AI to help unlock deeper scientific insights, faster breakthroughs, and life-changing medicines with an ambition to solve all disease. The future is coming. A future enabled and enriched by the incredible power of machine learning. A future in which diseases are curtailed or cured starting with better and faster drug discovery.  Come and be part of an interdisciplinary team driving groundbreaking innovation and play a meaningful role in contributing towards us achieving our ambitious goals, while being a part of an inspiring and collaborative culture. The world we want tomorrow is the one we’re building today. It starts with the culture at this company. It starts with you.  About Iso Isomorphic Labs (IsoLabs) was launched in 2021 to advance human health by building on and beyond the Nobel-winning AlphaFold system. Since then, our interdisciplinary team of drug discovery experts and machine learning specialists has built powerful new predictive and generative AI models that accelerate scientific discovery at digital speed. Our name comes from the belief that there is an underlying symmetry between biology and information science. By harnessing AI’s powerful capabilities, we can use it to model complex biological phenomena to help design novel molecules, anticipate how drugs will perform and develop innovative medicines to treat and cure some of the world’s most devastating diseases. We have built a world-leading drug design engine comprising AI models that are capable of working across multiple therapeutic areas and drug modalities. We are continually innovating on model architecture and developing cutting-edge capabilities to advance rational drug design. Every day, and with each new breakthrough, we’re getting closer to the promise of digital biology, and achieving our ambitious mission to one day solve all disease with the help of AI.   As an Operating Partner you'll be part of a small but high bandwidth, highly productive team specialising in catalysing business critical initiatives across Iso through partnership with cross-functional organisational leaders. Together we crystallise the ‘what’ and ‘why’ to unlock the ‘how’ with clarity and at pace, with a commitment to operational excellence and what's right for the organisation, facilitating maximum productivity and progress towards our mission. Agility, organisation and nimbleness are critical and this role will evolve alongside the leadership team’s role and needs as we advance towards our mission. What you will do  You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the Chief Scientific Officer and Chief Research Officer (Drug Design) and their teams to deliver and operationalise the highest-priority initiatives in their org areas, in particular where cross-organisational influence and expertise is needed. Drive impact: You’ll enable leaders and their teams to scale effectively by advising and soundboarding on their ideas for how to maximise their impact, focus on the things only they can do and empower and enable those around them; you’ll do this by synthesising outputs, problem solving across functions and driving solutions forward.  Deliver: While no task is too big or too small, you’ll focus your time and energy on maximising impact and output alongside the Chief Scientific Officer and Chief Research Officer (Drug Design) for the benefit of the organisation. You’ll be a doer as well as a thought partner: you’ll follow up, close loops in a timely fashion and drive initiatives to completion in alignment with leadership and organisational needs. You’ll have a keen sense of when to bring things back (e.g. paused/’not yet’ initiatives), achieve alignment and develop a plan to make it happen.  Collaborate: You’ll identify what is important/needs to be done by leadership and what can be done by others to support, ensuring clear roles and responsibilities are in place. You’ll build relationships with key stakeholders across Iso to gain a holistic understanding of the organisation, instilling high levels of trust and providing hands-on partnership, counsel and input on important projects, initiatives and decisions.  Big picture view: You’ll anticipate and propose solutions to issues and risks and share critical information with key stakeholders and prepare, present and gain agreement on proposals among leadership and then lead and influence teams to execute - leveraging strong leadership, communication and influencing skills and problem solving with creativity and innovation. Drive efficiency: You’ll empower others to be maximally efficient by optimising for leanness and proactively spotting and breaking down blockers and inefficiencies, balancing what the organisation needs in the short and longer term with a keen eye for how to scale most efficiently and effectively. Prioritise: You’ll assess what’s most important vs doing everything by clearly disambi
