Information Security Lead
Role Location: Remote
The Company
We are Alloy Therapeutics —a biotechnology ecosystem company empowering the global scientific community to make better medicines together. Through a community of partners, we democratize access to pre-competitive tools, technologies, services, and company creation capabilities that are foundational for discovering and developing therapeutic biologics. The company facilitates affordable, non-exclusive access to the entire drug discovery community from academic scientists, small and medium biotech, to the largest biopharma. At Alloy, we believe our industry should compete on getting the best drugs to patients as quickly as possible, not exclusive access to the best platforms. As a reflection of our relentless commitment to the scientific community, we reinvest 100% of our revenue in innovation and access to innovation. MAY THE BEST DRUG WIN.
Alloy has evolved from a startup into a global biotechnology infrastructure company operating 11 divisions across 5 research sites in 4 countries on 3 continents. Our model - Integrated Independence - combines centralized capabilities with entrepreneurial operating divisions. Successful members thrive in our shared culture of accountability, deliberate trust, and open communication. As a team we aspire to work together to exceed expectations and collectively contribute across the global organization to always maintain our nimble, startup culture.
At Alloy, we have an ethos of “Mentorship-By-Apprenticeship” in all of our positions. We strive to have workers in the office when needed to interact organically and face-to-face. Of course, as a lab-based operation, our cells and animals grow 7 days a week, 365 days per year. We respect and value our colleagues for their hard work that requires them to be in the lab every day. We ask our people who have more flexible accommodations, like this position, to appreciate their colleagues who have less flexibility. We are all one team!
The Team
The IT function at Alloy Therapeutics sits at the nerve center of our bold scientific mission to enable the researchers, scientists, and AI experts to set the standard for what's possible in collaborating to discover and develop new medicine. Proprietary new medicine comes from proprietary insights and proprietary data that are closely guarded and protected by our partners as their core economic differentiator to make their business work. As such, protecting and federating these data is one of the most critical aspects of our business.
Over the last 10 years, Alloy has reinvented the paradigm of the biotech “Contract Research Organization” (CRO) by creating a true biotech infrastructure company we call a “Product Development Organization” (PDO). As the world’s first PDO, Alloy is defining what it means to work closely and longitudinally with our partners to discover and develop new therapeutics for their drug pipeline. This is a true partnership model with shared risk and economics requiring trust and data protection throughout the long life of the partnership.
We operate with the pace and ambition of a startup and the rigor of a company where technology failures have real consequences. Data and Information Security is a core enabler of the trust that lets us work with the world's leading pharmaceutical partners, handle sensitive research data responsibly, and protect the proprietary science that defines our competitive advantage. We are building our security program in earnest and need someone who can do both: design and implement technical controls from the ground up, and write the governance frameworks and policies that make those controls auditable and defensible.
The Role
As Information Security Lead, you will own Alloy's security program in its entirety — building on a strong foundation and shaping our IT team’s motto of responsible innovation. This is a rare role that offers breadth of scope: you will be equally responsible for hands-on technical work (configur
