Scientist

Manager, Translational Scientist | CardiologyDallas, Texas, United States (Remote)Hartmann Young are partnering with a fast‑growing, privately held biotech advancing a novel therapeutic platform in cardiovascular disease, with a strong focus on cardiomyopathy and heart failure. This is a high‑impact Manager‑level Translational Scientist role within a lean, agile organization, offering meaningful hands‑on ownership across preclinical and early clinical development.The role is remote across the U.S., with Dallas / Plano–based candidates of particular interest given the company’s growing presence in Texas. This is an urgent hire and an opportunity to join a program at a critical development inflection point.The RoleYou will contribute scientific leadership across translational cardiovascular research, bridging mechanistic biology, cardiovascular animal models, and early clinical development. The role is ideal for a translational biologist with strong in vivo cardiovascular expertise who can partner cross‑functionally to support progression from preclinical studies into Phase 1/2 clinical trials.Key ResponsibilitiesLead and execute translational biology activities supporting cardiovascular programs from preclinical through early clinical stagesServe as a subject‑matter expert in cardiovascular animal models, including models of cardiomyopathy and heart failureDesign, oversee, and interpret nonclinical efficacy, PK/PD, and mechanistic studiesTranslate preclinical findings into clinical hypotheses, biomarker strategies, and dose rationaleCollaborate closely with Clinical Development, Clinical Operations, Regulatory, and Biometrics to enable efficient bench‑to‑bedside translationContribute to key program documents including nonclinical study reports, Investigator’s Brochures, translational sections of protocols, and regulatory submissionsManage and interact with external CROs, academic collaborators, and vendors supporting in vivo and translational studiesSupport interpretation of emerging early clinical data in the context of preclinical and translational evidenceExpertise We’re Looking ForPhD (or MD with strong research focus) in cardiovascular biology, physiology, pharmacology, or a related fieldDemonstrated experience in a translational biology or preclinical cardiovascular role within biotech, pharma, or an academic–industry environmentStrong hands‑on familiarity with cardiovascular animal models, particularly:Cardiomyopathy (genetic and acquired models)Heart failure–relevant models (HFrEF / HFpEF)Solid understanding of translational biomarkers, PK/PD relationships, and mechanistic data integrationExperience supporting programs advancing toward or into early clinical development (Phase 1 / 2)Comfort operating in a fast‑paced, resource‑lean biotech environmentStrong scientific writing, communication, and cross‑functional collaboration skillsWhy Join?Join a mission‑driven biotech focused on high‑unmet‑need cardiovascular diseasesHands‑on translational role with real impact on program direction and clinical strategyHigh visibility within a flat organizational structureRemote U.S. working model, with added opportunity for local impact if Dallas‑basedOpportunity to contribute to programs with genuine potential to improve outcomes in heart failure and cardiomyopathy
