Director, Program Management

Scholar Rock

Cambridge, MA Onsite Program Management Full-Time

About this role

Scholar Rock is a late-stage global biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing apitegromab for children and adults with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and other rare, severe, and debilitating neuromuscular diseases. As a global leader in myostatin biology, a field focused on proteins that regulate muscle mass, the Company is named for the visual resemblance of a scholar rock to protein structures. Our commitment to unlock fundamentally different treatment approaches is powered by broad application of a proprietary platform, which has developed novel monoclonal antibodies to modulate protein growth factors with extraordinary selectivity. Scholar Rock works every day to create new possibilities for patients through its highly innovative anti-myostatin program, including opportunities in additional rare neuromuscular diseases.

Summary of Position:

Scholar Rock is seeking a Director of Program Management to serve as the primary operational partner for the Myostatin Core Team. As the organization advances apitegromab through late-stage development and into commercialization, this role ensures the Core Team operates with precision, velocity, and alignment.

This position is designed for a high-accountability operator who partners seamlessly with the Program Leader. While the Program Leader focuses on executive alignment and organizational strategy ("managing up and out"), the Program Manager focuses on internal team efficacy and execution ("managing in and down"). We require a leader with the professional maturity to navigate the complexities of Lifecycle Management and the humility to personally own the details—from high-level scenario planning to the tactical mechanics of meeting governance and documentation.
