Job Description
Our mission
Were powering biologys century with radically faster more reliable clinical trials. Every new treatment needs clinical trials to prove safety and efficacy but todays infrastructure is stuck in the past- driving up cost causing delays and ultimately meaning new treatments dont get to patients. Were fundamentally changing that- not just being a better CRO but transforming how people think about developing new treatments so patients can access breakthrough treatments faster.
Our impact speaks for itself: Since March 2021 weve powered 100 clinical trials involving tens of thousands of patients. We recently raised a $55M Series B from Balderton Capital alongside backing from Creandum Firstminute Seedcamp and Visionaries.
Whats it like to work here
When you join us youll experience:
High-Impact Mission-Driven Work: Lindus Health is disrupting an outdated industry giving you the chance to directly improve patients lives and see tangible results from your work.
Fast-Paced Growth & Ownership: We recognise hard work and outcomes over anything else. Youll take on real responsibility work across different areas and actively shape the companys success.
Collaborative No-Ego Culture: Work with smart driven people in a supportive and informal environment. At Lindus we break down silos fun is a core value and creativity is encouraged.
