Director / Senior Director of Regulatory Affairs
Pathos, New York, NY, United States
Pathos is a next-generation biotech focused on oncology and AI-driven drug development.
About The Role You will own the IND lifecycle across our oncology pipeline. That means authoring DSURs, preparing IB updates, and IND amendments, building FDA meeting packages, managing ClinicalTrials.gov listings, and overseeing eCTD publishing. You will be the person FDA knows and the person accountable for every submission that leaves Pathos.
What makes this role different is how the work gets done. Pathos is building AI-powered regulatory workflows from the ground up, and you will be at the center of that build.
You will direct AI agents to handle the execution layer of regulatory tasks, apply your expert judgment to review and finalize outputs, and work with our engineering teams to make those systems more capable over time. The goal is to make the regulatory expert exponentially more productive.
Key Responsibilities IND Lifecycle Management Own the full IND lifecycle for Pathos's oncology pipeline. Author and submit IND amendments, prepare annual reports, lead DSUR development in collaboration with safety, biostatistics, and data management, and maintain IB currency across all active studies. Oversee ClinicalTrials.gov listings and ensure all regulatory commitments and timelines are tracked and met.
Submission Operations Oversee eCTD publishing and submission infrastructure, managing external publishing vendors where needed. Set quality standards for all regulatory submissions leaving Pathos and ensure every package is accurate, complete, and inspection ready. Build and maintain the SOPs, controlled document systems, and records management infrastructure that support a growing pipeline.
Agentic Regulatory Workflows Work with Pathos's software and machine learning engineering teams to build AI-powered systems that accelerate regulatory execution. Direct AI agents to generate first drafts of regulatory documents, flag inconsistencies, and surface relevant precedent. Apply your regulatory judgment as the expert reviewer who shapes, finalizes, and takes accountability for every output.
FDA Relationship Serve as Pathos's primary sponsor representative with FDA across all active programs. Lead preparation of pre-IND meeting requests, Type B and Type C meeting packages, and End of Phase meetings. Engage proactively and frequently with FDA, particularly around Pathos's AI-enabled development model and novel trial designs.
Who You Are
10 or more years of regulatory affairs experience in biotech or pharmaceutical development, with deep oncology experience
Direct IND lifecycle management experience: you have owned INDs from filing through amendment cycles, authored DSURs, prepared IB updates, and built FDA meeting packages as the primary author
Proven FDA sponsor representative experience: you have managed the agency relationship directly across multiple programs, not as a supporting contributor but as the accountable lead
Experience as a first or early regulatory hire at a small or growth-stage biotech where you built processes and infrastructure without a large team behind you
Comfort working alongside software and ML engineers to build and iterate on systems: you do not need to be an engineer, but you need to be genuinely curious about how these tools work and excited to direct them
A belief that AI-assisted regulatory workflows represent the future of how this function operates, and a willingness to operate that way now rather than eventually
Active engagement with the evolving regulatory landscape for AI-enabled drug development, including FDA guidance on AI in drug development and its implications for how Pathos operates
Familiarity with precision medicine and biomarker-driven oncology programs is a strong plus
Familiarity with innovative trial designs or AI-enabled development approaches
Location This is a hybrid role, requiring up to 3 days per week onsite, in our NYC Headquarters.
Pay Range 220,000 - 300,000 USD per year (New York Office)
