ABOUT OWKIN

OWKIN was founded in September 2016 by oncologist and cancer researcher Thomas Clozel and Gilles Wainrib, a former research professor in machine learning at the Ecole Normale Supérieure. Since then, we’ve grown to twelve employees in Paris and New York.

OWKIN is a start-up at the intersection of artificial intelligence and healthtech. We develop innovative machine learning software solutions applied to medicine, working in close collaboration with a number of hospitals and biotech companies globally to accelerate development of new treatments.                                                                                                                   

THE ROLE

As a Strategic Projects Associate, you will have the opportunity to work directly with OWKIN’s management team and support OWKIN’s strategic business development initiatives.

In particular, you will:

• Develop presentations and marketing documents to support our business development efforts in the US and abroad
  
• Support the management team with market analysis and data interpretation
  
• Prepare for and accompany management to strategic meetings
  
• Liaise with current and potential clients and partners (such as pharmaceuticals and biotechs)
  

The role is a mix of hands-on “getting things done” and bigger strategic projects. It would be an ideal opportunity for a highly-motivated recent graduate with one to two years of professional experience.

The Strategic Projects Associate will report directly to management: the role provides incredible high-level exposure, with the opportunity to step into a senior position in one to two years.

We are looking forward to someone who:

• Learns quickly and is passionate about healthtech and AI
  
• Works hard and knows how to get things done efficiently
  
• Prioritizes and is able to juggle multiple work streams
  
• Communicates effectively in English (and, ideally, French)
  
• Is numerate and tech-savvy

TARGET START DATE: October or November

SALARY: Competitive
