About Us...
Obsidian Therapeutics is expanding the reach of TIL therapy. We are pioneering engineered tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapies to deliver transformative outcomes for patients suffering from solid tumor malignancies. Obsidian's programs apply our cytoDRiVE platform technology to express regulated therapeutic proteins to enhance anti-tumor activity. We're currently investigating our lead program OBX-115 and enrolling patients in an ongoing clinical trial in advanced or metastatic melanoma.
We're proud of our diverse talented team and committed to cultivating an environment where each person feels a strong sense of belonging and is supported to continuously learn and contribute their best work. Our research team is based in the heart of Cambridge, MA, and our Technical Development, Manufacturing & Quality team is based in our facility in Bedford, MA. Obsidianites enjoy a highly collaborative culture, competitive salary and benefits, and potential for ownership through stock options.
On April 3, 2024, we announced closure of a significantly oversubscribed $160.5 million Series C financing with a top-tier syndicate of life science investors led by new investor, Wellington Management. Proceeds from the financing will advance Obsidian's lead program in its ongoing trials. We're focused on enrolling patients and reaching key clinical and regulatory milestones, as well as manufacturing scale-up ahead of pivotal trial readiness.
Our Opportunity
We're looking for a versatile hands-on people operations professional to contribute to expanding Obsidian's people operations capabilities. In this role, you will be responsible for managing people programs including onboarding, performance, and engagement feedback; compensation and benefits administration; HR systems, processes, recordkeeping, and reporting. You will work collaboratively with cross-functional teams, including talent acquisition, IT, payroll, and finance to ensure cohesion across different operational areas. The ideal candidate brings a business partner orientation and "fit for purpose" approach, is agile and knowledgeable across various HR systems, programs, and processes, and cognizant of future focused best practices in the biotech space. Reporting to the Chief People Officer, you'll be a vital part of a highly collaborative team working to achieve Obsidian's vision by translating innovative science into medical breakthroughs for patients, starting with our lead program OBX-115. This is a hybrid position, requiring at least 3 days/week on-site split between our Bedford and Cambridge locations.
This is a unique opportunity to be a contributor in a well-funded clinical company with blue chip investors, field-leading advisors, best-in-class partners, and an experienced team. You'll help us build a dynamic, innovative, passionate, collaborative, and successful organization focused on delivering transformative therapies in areas of greatest clinical need.
