Director/Senior Director of Biostatistics

At Pathos, we’re reimagining what’s possible in oncology drug development.

Founded by the team that built and scaled Tempus Labs, home to the world’s largest library of clinical and molecular data, Pathos is on a mission to revolutionize precision medicine in cancer. We’re using AI and machine learning not as buzzwords, but as fundamental tools to understand biology, identify precise disease drivers, and match patients to the therapies they truly need.

Our vision is bold: to create a new model for drug discovery and development, one rooted in deep data, integrated science, and rapid translation. We’re not building another pharma company, we’re building a platform to find better medicines, faster, and to get them to the right patients at the right time.

We’ve already begun assembling a portfolio of clinical-stage oncology assets, and we’re applying our technology to select the right indications, optimize clinical design, and increase the probability of success, from bench to bedside.

We believe that the current system moves too slowly, and too many patients are still waiting. That’s why we’re here. That’s why Pathos exists.

If you’re driven by purpose, excited by complexity, and eager to work alongside brilliant, kind, and mission-aligned teammates, we’d love to meet you.

We’re headquartered in New York City, with a distributed team across the U.S., and operate with the focus and agility of a startup while building with the scale and ambition of something much bigger.

Come help us build it.

• Collaborate with data management and programming teams to ensure data quality and analysis readiness.
• Support preparation of regulatory submissions and agency interactions (FDA, EMA, etc.).
• Serve as the statistical expert on cross-functional study teams.
• Contribute to developing tools, templates, and best practices for the growing biostatistics function.

What We’re Looking For

• PhD or MS in Biostatistics (or related field).
• 7–12 years of industry experience in biostatistics (oncology preferred).
• Hands-on expertise in clinical trial design, statistical analysis, and regulatory deliverables.
