About Chai Discovery

Chai builds the design suite for molecules. We train frontier models that learn the underlying foundations of biochemical structure and interaction, so scientists can move faster and pursue targets that other methods cannot reach.

AI is reinventing life sciences the same way it reinvented software engineering, and Chai is at the forefront of this shift. Leading pharmaceutical companies like Eli Lilly, Pfizer, and Novartis are rapidly adopting our platform to power their drug discovery programs.

Our mission is to accelerate progress towards new cures and better science, and there are countless interesting problems on the road ahead.

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 & promote a culture of high velocity and ownership. We compensate our team accordingly.
