In 2015, we pioneered a “moneyball for biotech” approach, pooling projects and promising early-stage research from academia together under one financial umbrella to reduce risk and unleash innovation. This model allows science and small teams of experts to lead the way. We build bridges to groundbreaking advancements in rare disease, and develop life-changing medicines for patients with unmet needs as fast as humanly possible.
Together we define white space, push boundaries, and empower people to solve problems. If you're someone who defies convention, join us and work alongside some of the most respected minds in the industry. Together, we'll ask "why not?" and help reengineer the future of biopharma. At BridgeBio, we value curiosity and experimentation—including the ethical & thoughtful use of AI to improve clarity, speed, and quality of work.
What You'll Do
The Senior Manager, Medical Affairs Operations is the operational engine behind execution of the Medical Affairs Function (MAF) plan. This role owns the processes, timelines, tracking, and cross-functional coordination that allow medical strategy to be executed on time, on budget, and in compliance with company SOPs.

This individual partners directly with cross-functional teams to ensure MAF activities are properly scoped, contracted, funded, tracked, and closed out. This spans MLR submissions, advisory boards, sponsorships, grants, congresses, and vendor engagements.
This position suits a highly organized project manager who is energized by making complex, multi-stakeholder plans happen.
