Overview

InsightRx is launching a new PK/PD consulting services practice and seeking a senior scientific leader with deep expertise in model‑informed drug development. The ideal candidate has hands‑on experience conducting PK/PD analyses, guiding development strategies, and working closely with pharma and biotech teams.

This role is foundational. You will lead scientific engagements, shape our consulting offerings, and help customers adopt our AI‑driven PK/PD analysis platform. As part of our broader Apollo‑AI strategy, this role is central to showing how agentic, LLM‑powered workflows can enhance and streamline quantitative decision‑making across the drug development lifecycle.

We’re looking for someone who is both technically strong and commercially oriented—capable of executing high‑quality analysis work, building relationships, and scaling a new services organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead InsightRx’s PK/PD consulting services as the primary scientific and strategic point of contact
• Conduct and oversee PK/PD and model‑informed analyses across early and late‑stage development programs
• Advise pharma and biotech partners on modeling strategy, study design, and interpretation of results
• Help grow the consulting business through strong industry relationships and a credible scientific presence
• Guide customers in adopting our AI‑powered PK/PD analysis platform and integrating it into their workflows
• Collaborate with product, AI, data science, and engineering teams to refine and expand platform capabilities
• Establish processes, standards, and best practices for a scalable consulting organization
• Mentor future hires and contribute to building a high‑performing team
• Represent InsightRx in scientific and industry forums

Qualifications

• Minimum of 5+ years in PK/PD, clinical pharmacology, modeling and simulation, or related areas
• Strong foundation in PK/PD principles, model development, model evaluation, and application to drug development
• Demonstrated ability to lead analysis workstreams and communicate scientific insights to internal and external stakeholders
• Experience working with multiple modeling tools (e.g., NONMEM, Monolix, Stan, R, Python), with flexibility across platforms
• A strong industry network and track record of working with pharma or biotech organizations
• Ability to influence customer decision‑making and build trusted partnerships
• Forward‑thinking mindset with an enthusiasm for integrating AI and emerging technologies into scientific workflows
• Comfort operating in a high‑growth, fast‑moving startup environment
• CRO experience is a plus

Why This Role Is Exciting

• You will build a new consulting organization from the ground up and shape its long‑term strategy
• You’ll work at the forefront of AI‑enabled PK/PD and clinical pharmacology, helping define how quantitative decision‑making evolves in pharma and biotech
• Direct impact on key partnerships with top‑tier drug development teams
• High visibility role with strong support from leadership, product, and AI teams
• Opportunity to influence and co‑develop Apollo‑AI’s agentic workflows and real‑world use cases
• A rare chance to blend scientific leadership, customer strategy, and next‑generation technology
• Competitive compensation, equity, and the ability to grow a team around you as demand scales
