About the Role

Dispatch is seeking a Vice President, Biometrics to establish and lead our Biometrics function as we enter the clinic. This is a builder’s role where you will define how biostatistics, statistical programming, and clinical data management are done at Dispatch, while also performing much of the work yourself. You will be the statistical voice of our development strategy, ensuring scientific rigor in study design, dose selection, data interpretation, and program decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Build the biometrics function from the ground up, including strategy, operating model, SOPs, data standards, templates, and analysis infrastructure.
  • Serve as the hands-on lead statistician for the ongoing first-in-human study, authoring and reviewing statistical documents and performing or QC'ing key analyses.
  • Provide statistical leadership on early-phase design, including dose-escalation and dose-expansion strategies, model-based and Bayesian dose-finding methods, and two-stage and single-arm designs.
  • Drive timely, rigorous interpretation of emerging safety and efficacy data to inform safety review committees, interim analyses, and program go/no-go decisions.
  • Partner with Clinical Development and Program Management on clinical development plans, contributing sample size, probability-of-success, and scenario analyses.
  • Lead the statistical content of regulatory interactions and submissions, including briefing documents, IND amendments, and annual reports.
  • Oversee clinical data management in partnership with Clinical Operations, ensuring data integrity and inspection readiness.
  • Select, contract, and manage CROs and biometrics vendors, holding them accountable for quality, timelines, and budget.
  • Collaborate with Translational Science to integrate biomarker, pharmacokinetic/cellular kinetic, and exploratory data into analyses.
  • Evaluate and apply innovative methods, such as AI/ML, external control, and real-world data approaches.
  • Ensure the accuracy and appropriate statistical framing of external data communications, including abstracts, presentations, and publications.
  • Scale the function as the company evolves toward a multi-program, multi-region clinical portfolio, hiring and developing team members.

Requirements

  • Ph.D. in Statistics, Biostatistics, or a related quantitative field.
  • At least 15 years of experience in clinical development statistics within the biopharmaceutical industry, with progressive leadership responsibility.
  • Substantial hands-on oncology experience, including design and analysis of early-phase oncology studies and familiarity with oncology endpoints and response criteria.
  • Demonstrated expertise in innovative early-phase designs, including dose-escalation and dose-expansion approaches.
  • Direct experience leading statistical contributions to FDA interactions and regulatory submissions (e.g., IND, end-of-phase meetings); contribution to at least one BLA/NDA/MAA.
  • Strong working knowledge of ICH guidelines (including E9/E9(R1)), GCP, CDISC standards, and relevant FDA guidance.
  • Proven track record of selecting and overseeing CROs and functional service providers in an outsourced operating model.
  • Hands-on proficiency in SAS and/or R, and willingness to personally perform and QC analyses.
  • Comfort operating as a leader with a small team and a strong desire to build.
  • Collaborative nature, geared toward cross-functional teamwork; able to influence peers and leaders without relying on hierarchy.
  • Excellent organizational, problem-solving, and time management skills, with the judgment to manage competing priorities.
  • Positive attitude, dedicated work ethic, and flexible orientation for operating in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where processes are still being built.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to translate complex technical concepts for clinical, scientific, executive, and external audiences.
  • Comfortable giving and inviting candid feedback, and flagging risks early.
