Director of AI/ML – Transforming Drug Discovery
  
Location: London (Hybrid)
Company: Stealth-mode AI/ML Biotech
Partnered by: KEMIO Consulting
  
KEMIO Consulting is working exclusively with one of the most exciting next-generation biotech companies out there — a stealth organisation using AI and machine learning to completely reimagine how drugs are discovered.
  
They’re not just talking about “data-driven discovery” — they’re doing it. Building new engines for insight, creating intelligent systems that accelerate target discovery, and translating complex biological data into life-changing therapeutics.
  
As Director of AI/ML, you’ll lead a brilliant, multi-disciplinary team of data scientists, ML researchers, and engineers — shaping how AI drives the company’s R&D strategy.
You’ll combine scientific depth with strategic vision to design and implement high-impact analytics, from biomarker discovery and patient stratification to new therapeutic concepts.
  
You’ll:

• Lead and grow a talented AI/ML team (5–8 specialists) within a cutting-edge R&D environment
• Guide the design, testing, and deployment of next-generation AI models and computational pipelines
• Collaborate with biology, data, and IT teams to turn algorithms into real drug-discovery impact
• Shape the organisation’s AI roadmap and represent the function at leadership level
• Build frameworks for scientific rigour, operational excellence, and innovation at scale

  
So who are we looking for ?
  
You’re a scientist, strategist, and builder — someone who thrives at the intersection of AI/ML,  biology, and leadership.
You bring both technical gravitas and emotional intelligence, capable of leading experts and influencing peers across a complex R&D ecosystem.
  
You’ll likely have:

• A PhD or MD in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Physics, or a related field
• Proven experience leading AI/ML teams within pharma, biotech, or techbio
• Strong technical depth in advanced analytics, ML, data science, or software engineering
• Familiarity with cloud-based infrastructures and CI/CD pipelines
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate science into strategy

This is a rare opportunity to shape the AI engine behind a stealth biotech that’s changing how the world thinks about drug discovery.
You’ll work with visionary leaders, the latest technology, and a shared mission: to transform R&D and deliver first-in-class therapeutics through the power of data.
