Job description

The Organization

What's happening at Entrada Therapeutics? Entrada is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company aiming to transform the lives of patients by establishing a new class of medicines that engage intracellular targets that have long been considered inaccessible.

Our Endosomal Escape Vehicle (EEV)-therapeutics are designed to enable the efficient intracellular delivery of a wide range of therapeutics into a variety of organs and tissues, resulting in an improved therapeutic index. Through this proprietary, versatile and modular approach, Entrada is advancing a robust development portfolio of RNA-, antibody- and enzyme-based programs for the potential treatment of neuromuscular, ocular, metabolic and immunological diseases, among others.

Our lead oligonucleotide programs are in development for the potential treatment of people living with Duchenne who are exon 44, 45, 50 and 51 skipping amenable. Entrada has partnered to develop a clinical-stage program, VX-670, for myotonic dystrophy type 1.

We are a tight-knit team of experts and leaders in both therapeutic development and rare diseases and are excited to grow and attract colleagues who are ready to join a high-energy, dedicated team that likes to get things done and dramatically improve the lives of patients and their families.

The Perfect Addition to Our Team

You work successfully in a team environment with deep interpersonal skills to effectively build working relationships inside and outside the company.

4. Oversee scheduling and coordination for Extended Leadership Team meetings.
5. Coordinate and track domestic and international travel arrangements and manage expense reporting for the executive management team.
6. Process invoices, manage vendor relationships, and track financial and budgetary activities for external patient advocacy sponsorships and select corporate vendors.
7. Format and refine as needed, PowerPoint presentations and materials to support internal meetings.
8. Collaborate with EAs, IT, Operations and other stakeholders to support Entrada and its collective needs while identifying efficiencies and solutions.
9. Maintain employees’ confidence and protect operations by keeping company proprietary information confidential.
