Job Description

Who is BlueRock?

BlueRock Therapeutics LP is a clinical stage cell therapy harnessing the power of cell therapy to create a pipeline of new medicines for people suffering from neurological and ophthalmic diseases. Two of our novel investigational cell therapies, bemdaneprocel (BRT-DA01) for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and OpCT-001 for the treatment of primary photoreceptor diseases are clinical stage programs. BlueRock was founded in 2016 as a joint venture of Versant Ventures and Leaps by Bayer. Our culture is defined by the courage to persist regardless of the challenge, the urgency to transform medicine and deliver hope, integrity guided by mission, and community-mindedness with the understanding that we are all part of something bigger than ourselves.

What Are We Doing?

Our foundational science harnesses the ability to create and then direct the differentiation of universal pluripotent stem cells into authentic, functional cells that can be used as allogeneic cellular therapies to treat a broad array of diseases. We can also further engineer these cells, enabling them to produce enzymes, antibodies, and other proteins for additional therapeutic benefit.
We are passionate about delivering on the promise of cellular and gene therapy, shaping the future of cellular medicine, and delivering new therapies to millions of patients with treatment options.
We are seeking individuals who are collaborative, thrive in a fun and dynamic culture, and are steadfast in the commitment to advance cutting-edge cellular therapies to impact patients’ lives.

The Head of Medical Writing will provide strategic and operational leadership for all Medical Writing activities to support BlueRock’s portfolio, from early development through product registration.

This role is accountable for establishing and overseeing a cohesive, scalable Medical Writing function that delivers high-quality regulatory documents that are aligned with BlueRock’s global strategy, development timelines, and corporate priorities. The Head of Medical Writing will develop and lead an internal medical writing team, oversee vendor partnerships, and serve as a key strategic partner to Regulatory Affairs, Pharmacovigilance, Clinical Development, Clinical Operations, Biometrics, Translational Science, and Technical Operations. This role will also help shape future-state capabilities, including AI-enabled medical writing, platform-based content reuse, and collaboration models with Bayer colleagues.
