Clinical Scientist/Senior Clinical Scientist

Clinical Scientist/Senior Clinical ScientistTenvie Therapeutics is developing precision‑engineered small molecule therapies to address core drivers of neurological and peripheral diseases: neuroinflammation and cellular dysfunction. Leveraging its proprietary product engine, Tenvie has the unique ability to advance both fully CNS‑penetrant and peripherally restricted products across a broad portfolio. Tenvie’s most advanced programs, TNV262 and TNV108, are in Phase 1 clinical development. TNV262 is a fully CNS-penetrant NLRP3 inhibitor targeting cardiometabolic and neuroinflammatory indications, including obesity and cardiovascular disease, and multiple sclerosis. TNV108 is a peripherally restricted SARM1 allosteric inhibitor targeting peripheral neuropathies. Tenvie’s clinical pipeline is complemented by discovery-stage programs across a range of related indications. Tenvie Therapeutics is seeking a scientifically rigorous and highly collaborative Clinical Scientist to support the design and execution of early clinical development programs in cardiometabolic disease and related indications. This role is ideal for candidates with a strong background in human pathophysiology and clinical trial design who are motivated to translate biology into impactful therapies. The Clinical Scientist will work closely with Clinical Development, Clinical Operations, Biometrics, Translational Science, and Regulatory to ensure high‑quality clinical plans, protocols, and data readouts.  This role can be remote, hybrid, or on-site, and reports within the Clinical Development group.JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:Contribute to clinical strategy and study designSupport development of clinical development plans, target product profiles, and indication prioritizationLead or co‑lead the scientific design of Phase 1–2 studies (e.g., FIH, dose‑finding, PoC) including objectives, endpoints, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and biomarker strategy, with emphasis on cardiometabolic risk factors and outcomesIntegrate nonclinical, translational, and clinical data to inform dose selection, schedule, and patient populationLead development of core clinical documentsAuthor or co‑author clinical sections of protocols, protocol amendments, IBs, ICFs, CSRs, and relevant regulatory documents (e.g., briefing books, responses to health authority questions)Develop and maintain study‑level documents including synopsis, statistical analysis‑relevant endpoint definitions, and data review plansPartner with Biostatistics and Clinical Pharmacology on endpoint hierarchy, PK/PD modeling plans, and interim analysesDrive study conduct and data qualityServe as Clinical Scientist lead on cross‑functional study teams for selected trialsProvide clinical and scientific input into site selection, eligibility adjudication, and key study tools (e.g., manuals, training decks, CRFs)Participate in ongoing medical and scientific data review (safety, PK/PD, biomarkers, efficacy signals); help define and track key data review listings and visualizationsSupport development and execution of safety review / dose escalation committees and data monitoring activitiesLead data interpretation and communicationLead or co‑lead integrated analyses of clinical, PK/PD, and biomarker data to generate clear conclusions and next‑step recommendationsPrepare data summaries and presentations for internal governance, external collaborators, and advisory boardsContribute to abstracts, posters, and manuscripts for scientific meetings and peer‑reviewed journalsInterface with investigators and external partnersProvide scientific support to investigators and study sites (e.g., training, protocol clarification, scientific Q&A)Participate in KOL and expert advisory boards, contributing to agenda, content, and follow‑upCollaborate with CROs, central labs, imaging/biomarker vendors, and other partners to ensure alignment on scientific and operational expectationsContribute to portfolio and organizational excellenceSupport cross‑program learnings and standardization of endpoints, assessments, and data structures across cardiometabolic and related indicationsHelp refine internal processes and templates for protocols, charters, and data reviewMentor junior team members as appropriate; model a high‑accountability, low‑ego, cross‑functional working styleQUALIFICATIONS:EducationPhD in life sciences, pharmacology, physiology, or related field strongly preferred; MD, PharmD, or equivalent clinical degree also consideredStrong foundation in cardiometabolic biology (e.g., obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, NAFLD/NASH, cardiovascular risk) is highly preferredExperienceTypically 3–7+ years of relevant experience in clinical development, clinical pharmacology, or translational medicine within biotech/pharma or equivalent academic clinical research environmentDemonstrated experience contributing to design and execution of early‑phase (Phase 1–2) clinical trialsCardiometabolic and/or obesity clinical trial experience preferred, including familiarity with standard endpoints (e.g., glycemic control, body weight, lipids, blood pressure, imaging or functional assessments)Experience working on cross‑functional teams with Clinical Operations, Biometrics, Regulatory, and Translational/DiscoveryPrior involvement in regulatory submissions (e.g., IND/CTA, briefing packages, responses to queries) is a plusTechnical skillsStrong understanding of clinical trial methodology, GCP, and the overall drug development pathway from FIH through proof‑of‑conceptComfort interpreting PK/PD, biomarker, and clinical efficacy/safety data, and working with statisticians and pharmacometriciansExperience with cardiometabolic risk scoring, metabolic biomarker panels, or imaging modalities is an advantageExcellent scientific writing skills with a track record of clear, structured documents and presentationsCore competenciesHighly organized, with the ability to manage multiple studies or workstreams in parallel in a fast‑paced environmentStrong analytical and critical‑thinking skills; able to move from complex data to clear, actionable recommendationsEffective communicator, able to tailor scientific messages to diverse audiences (clinicians, scientists, operations, leadership, regulators)Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively and constructively across disciplines and with external partnersComfortable operating with ambiguity and evolving data;
