As a member of Galux's Business Development team, you will support and drive partnering activities across the full BD cycle.

• Manage deal execution workflows, including contract processes (CDAs, MTAs, licensing agreements), diligence coordination, and structured tracking of all partner interactions, deal stages, and contract status to ensure visibility across the team.

• Coordinate cross-functionally with R&D and other internal stakeholders to gather inputs for partnering activities and ensure alignment on deal strategy.

• Stay current on industry trends, therapeutic area developments, and competitive dynamics relevant to Galux's platform and pipeline.
