At Genetix Biotherapeutics every role has meaning, every team member is respected, and every day is a chance to make a difference. When you join Genetix, you're not just landing a new role, you become part of a company that's pursuing curative gene therapies to give patients and their families more days. We are doers, thinkers and collaborators who embrace and live by our values:

Our innovation is rooted in the diversity of our teams and results are achieved through cooperation and the integration of multiple viewpoints. This is personal and we approach every challenge with radical care.

The Director of Medical Education & Scientific Communication will design, lead, and scale our global medical education strategy and scientific communications for cell‑based gene therapies addressing hemoglobinopathies. This leader will develop the company’s scientific narrative, ensure medical accuracy and balance across all channels, and equip healthcare professionals (HCPs), payer audiences, and patient communities with timely, evidence‑based information. The role spans strategy through execution—publication planning, congress activities, omnichannel medical education, and cross‑functional content governance—grounded in ethical standards and compliance.

• Build a 1–3-year medical education roadmap aligned to clinical development and lifecycle plans.
• Analyze field and inbound insights to inform educational priorities
• Design non‑promotional education for multidisciplinary audiences (hematology, BMT/transplant, apheresis, transfusion medicine, genetic counseling, nursing), including webinars, symposia, workshops, and digital learning modules.
• Establish content measurement frameworks (reach, engagement, knowledge lift, practice intent) and continuous improvement loops.

• Lead end‑to‑end publication planning (abstracts, posters, oral presentations, manuscripts, review articles, plain‑language summaries) across clinical, translational, and real‑world evidence.
• Chair or support publication steering committees; ensure adherence to GPP (Good Publication Practice), ICMJE authorship criteria, data transparency, and fair balance.
• Maintain the enterprise scientific lexicon and core claims matrix; ensure consistency across materials and channels.

• Lead or co‑lead medical review for scientific materials; partner with Legal/Compliance/Regulatory on clear SOPs and guardrails.
• Implement a scalable content operating model (templates, style guides, plain‑language standards, accessibility) and a robust medical approvals workflow.

• Collaborate within Medical Affairs and with Clinical Development, Regulatory, Pharmacovigilance, Commercial, Market Access, and Patient Advocacy to ensure accuracy and balance across communications.
• Develop and deliver scientific training programs for internal teams (e.g., onboarding for MSLs/field medical; refresher modules on gene therapy mechanisms, safety monitoring, LTFU requirements).

• Own Med Affairs content and define KPIs, dashboards, and reporting cadence.
• Pilot innovative formats (micro‑learning, interactive pathways, patient‑friendly visuals) and ensure accessibility for diverse audiences.

• MD, Pharm
  
  D, PhD, or MS in a biomedical field; experience in hematology or cell and gene therapy strongly preferred.
• 8+ years in Medical Affairs/Scientific Communications within biopharma, including publication planning and medical education leadership.
• Deep understanding of hemoglobinopathies (SCD, β‑thalassemia), cell‑based gene therapy modalities, safety monitoring (including long‑term follow‑up), and registry/RWE considerations.
• Experience building omnichannel education programs.
• Fluency with compliance frameworks (GPP, ICMJE, ACCME, OIG, PhRMA Code) and medical review processes.
• Exceptional scientific writing, editorial judgment, and stakeholder…
