Job Description
Overview
Pintail Solutions is a trusted life science partner improving global health. We work with a variety of clients including biotechs and pharmaceutical companies, CROs, academic institutions, and philanthropic organizations. Clients work with Pintail because of our breadth of experience, our ability to deliver outcomes, and our passion for every project we work on. We focus on the greater good of the client and are fearless about informing clients about what they need instead of what they may ask for. We expect everyone in the company to act like an owner and be insatiable about looking for ways to improve. We value excellence, integrity, and collaboration, and we believe we will make a greater difference in our work when we are having fun doing it. 

We are seeking an accomplished and strategic Chief Medical Officer (CMO) to lead the clinical and medical strategy for a biotechnology startup developing transformative therapies for neurodegenerative diseases . The CMO will be responsible for translating innovative neuroscience and disease biology into robust clinical development programs targeting disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, and related neurodegenerative conditions.
