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.

What You'll Do

BridgeBio is seeking a strategically-minded and analytically gifted Vice President of Patient Identification & Analytics to lead the design and execution of patient-finding strategies across multiple rare disease programs. The primary focus of this role will be to find patients.  In addition, this executive will manage a small, high-performing team responsible for uncovering undiagnosed patients, enabling HCP engagement, and driving diagnostic acceleration using best-in-class data science and insights. 

The VP will serve as a cross-functional linchpin between commercial, medical, and analytics teams, ensuring every insight translates into actionable strategies that drive patient identification and engagement. This is a rare opportunity to shape and scale a foundational capability across a portfolio of rare disease programs with a direct impact on the lives of underserved patients.
