Director, Enterprise Applications
About The Position
Nurix Therapeutics is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of targeted protein degradation medicines, the next frontier in innovative drug design aimed at improving treatment options for patients with cancer and inflammatory diseases. Powered by a fully AI-integrated discovery engine capable of tackling any protein class, and coupled with unparalleled ligase expertise, Nurix’s dedicated team has built a formidable advantage in translating the science of targeted protein degradation into clinical advancements. Nurix aims to establish degrader-based treatments at the forefront of patient care, writing medicine’s next chapter with a new script to outmatch disease. This role owns the business systems that support Nurix's path from clinical trials through commercialization. You will be the primary IT partner to Clinical Operations, Regulatory, Quality, and Commercial leadership, ensuring the technology they depend on works and evolves with the business. The scope includes clinical systems (EDC, eTMF, pharmacovigilance, regulatory submissions), quality and training platforms, and commercial systems as they come online. You manage vendor relationships for delivery outcomes, work with Quality on validation requirements, and coordinate with IT Strategy & Vendor Operations on contracts and shared infrastructure. This is a strategic role with hands-on expectations. You will define requirements, design workflows, run implementations, and ensure adoption. If a vendor falls short or a gap emerges, you can configure, troubleshoot, or build what's needed. You're not above the work. The goal is to function as a mini-CIO for the life sciences enterprise application portfolio. Over time, the role grows with the company. As Nurix advances toward commercial stage, you will shape the systems strategy and build a team to support it.
