Head of DMPK

Job description

The Opportunity

At Recursion we are redefining drug discovery by uniting industrial-scale data generation with sophisticated computational models. We are seeking a visionary Head of DMPK to join our leadership team.

You will lead the DMPK strategy to transition our internal and partnered programs from early hit-identification through to IND-enabling studies and early clinical development.

But this is not a traditional DMPK role. You will be a key architect in an environment that is pushing the boundaries of “predict more, test less” - bridging the gap between high-throughput, experimentally derived data generation and predictive modeling.

Your Impact

• Strategic Leadership. Define and execute the overarching DMPK strategy for a diverse therapeutic area portfolio, primarily focused on small molecules with the agility to support emerging modalities (e.g. peptides, ADCs, proximity-inducing therapeutics)
• Scientific Rigor and Project Acceleration. Ensure high degree of scientific excellence as programs move from early discovery into development ensuring robust human dose projections, DDI assessments, and supporting translational PK/PD strategies.
• Tech-Forward Collaboration. Partner with Data Science and ML teams to refine our predictive ADME models, transforming how we prioritize compounds and de-risking the portfolio.
• External Partnerships. Act as a strategic subject matter expert for high-stakes external partnerships by collaborating with internal scientific leaders and external counterparts with transparency and technical rigor.
