Job description

The Organization
What's happening at Entrada Therapeutics? Entrada is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company aiming to transform the lives of patients by establishing a new class of medicines that engage intracellular targets that have long been considered inaccessible. Through proprietary and versatile approaches, Entrada is advancing a robust development portfolio of genetic medicines for the potential treatment of neuromuscular and inherited retinal diseases, among others. Our lead oligonucleotide programs are in development for the potential treatment of people living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who are exon 44, 45, 50 and 51 skipping amenable. Entrada has partnered with Vertex Pharmaceuticals to develop a clinical-stage program, VX-670, for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1).
2026 represents a catalyst-rich period for Entrada. We expect multiple clinical data readouts as we advance several DMD programs across the U.K., EU, and U.S. By year-end 2026, we anticipate four clinical-stage programs in our DMD franchise (ENTR-601-44, ENTR-601-45, ENTR-601-50, and ENTR-601-51). These programs are complemented by the ongoing clinical progress of our DM1 collaboration with Vertex (VX-670).
We are a tight-knit team of experts and leaders in both therapeutic development and rare diseases and are excited to grow and attract colleagues who are ready to join a high-energy, dedicated team that likes to get things done and dramatically improve the lives of patients and their families.

You work successfully in a team environment and have strong interpersonal skills, in order to effectively build working relationships inside and outside of the company.
The Opportunity

Responsibilities

  • Drive start-up activities including timely site selection and activation, EC submissions and query responses, document collection, and protocol amendment activities.
  • Reviewing country-level ICFs and related site or patient facing materials and routing for approval by required functional areas.
  • Review and approve site activation packages and regulatory documentation, ensuring complete and accurate information tracked in the appropriate databases.
  • Proactively identify and support resolution/escalation of issues impacting start up or trial execution.
  • Collaborate and communicate with the cross-functional trial team, including collaborating with internal team members and external vendors on related study start up activities.
  • Ensure that all assigned start up activities are on track and support study deliverables.
  • Partner with relevant stakeholders to develop and implement appropriate study-specific training and kick-off meetings to all relevant study-related personnel (internal, CRO, Site staff, and other relevant 3rd parties)
