Unlearn.AI is transforming clinical development through AI-powered digital twins and data science. The company partners with biopharmaceutical companies to redesign how clinical trials are planned, run, and analyzed, enabling faster and more robust studies that bring life-saving treatments to patients faster. Founded in 2017 by machine learning scientists and headquartered in San Francisco, Unlearn has raised $50M in Series C funding from top-tier investors including Altimeter, Insight Partners, and DCVC.
As VP of Clinical Solutions, you will lead Unlearn's scientific delivery organization, overseeing a team of scientists and technical leaders (biostatisticians, data scientists, clinical scientists, and ML engineers) across a portfolio of active customer projects. This role sits at the intersection of scientific leadership and operational excellence.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading the scientific delivery organization and owning the quality, timeliness, and scientific rigor of customer-facing work across concurrent projects
- Partnering cross-functionally with Business Development, Product, Engineering, R&D, and Quality Management to shape project scopes, resolve blockers, and ensure delivery excellence
- Serving as a senior scientific voice with customers, stepping into escalations and representing Unlearn's scientific credibility in clinical development settings
- Developing technical team leaders through direct people leadership, mentorship, and career development
- Establishing technical governance standards, review practices, and quality frameworks for statistical analyses, data products, and ML applications
- Managing delivery operations at scale: project staffing, capacity planning, prioritization, and processes that maintain quality while scaling
- Reporting to company leadership on delivery health, capacity, and portfolio risk; managing growth commitments responsibly
- Building systems, metrics, and delivery models that maintain quality during growth
You will report to the COO and be responsible for meeting business goals in Delivery that establish Unlearn as a best-in-class innovator and scientific partner.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 10+ years leading scientific or analytical delivery work in clinical development, with significant experience at Senior Director or VP level managing multi-disciplinary technical teams
- Track record leading data analytics, biostatistics, data science, or related delivery organizations serving biopharma customers (e.g., RWD companies, CROs, analytics-driven clinical development partners); direct ML delivery experience is a plus, but deep fluency with quantitative methods is essential
- Demonstrated scientific leadership: grown individual contributors into technical leaders and provided credible technical guidance across biostatistics, data science, and ML
- Strong operational skills: kept complex, concurrent customer delivery portfolios on track, resourced projects effectively under constraints, and scaled delivery teams and processes
- Domain knowledge of clinical development: study designs, clinical data, sponsor expectations, and regulatory/evidentiary standards
- Experience reporting to executive leadership on delivery capacity, growth, and risk; manage commitments realistically and surface problems early
- Comfort operating cross-functionally with Business Development, Product, Engineering, R&D, Quality Management, and customer stakeholders; ability to translate between technical and non-technical audiences
- Experience in growth-stage or early-stage companies to build and run a stronger delivery model
