About Hemab

Hemabis building preventative treatments for serious, underserved bleeding disorders. These are therapies designed to work with the body's own biology and stop bleeds before they start, instead of treating them after they happen.

We'repatient-first, science-led and clinical-stage-with a pipeline that takes different scientific approaches to different patient needs.

We went public via our 2026 IPO, andwe'rescaling across two homes:
Cambridge, MA, USA,and Copenhagen, Denmark.

The role

Patients need a meaningful voice in how medicines are developed and how care changes around them.

As Senior Director,Global Patient Advocacy Lead,you'llset Hemab's patient advocacy strategy, with a major near-term focus on building our presence, partnerships and understanding of patient communities in the US. Across Glanzmann Thrombasthenia, von Willebrand Disease and, increasingly, heavy menstrual bleeding,you'llbuild trusted partnerships where strong communities already exist and help create connections and infrastructure where theydon't.

Our work starts with patients who have spent too long reacting to bleeds rather than having the chance to prevent them. Patient advocacy at Hemabisn'tseparate fromthe science- it helps us understand what patients need and what meaningful progress looks like.

• Build Hemab'srelationships with US patient organizations, patients,families and community leaders, while developing partnerships internationally as our programs require.
• Build advocacy infrastructure where focused patient organizationsdon'tyet exist,conveningcommunities and supporting emerging groups without speaking on their behalf.
• Build Hemab'sapproach to patient advocacy in heavy menstrual bleeding, particularly in the US, helping an under-recognized community become better connected, heard andunderstood.

• Bring patient perspectives directly into Asset Teams and partner with clinical and go-to-market colleagues on patient-facing materials and trial engagement.
• Gather and steward patient stories ethically, with clear consent,dignity and control over how each person's experience is shared.
• Build representation into our approach so underserved and geographically dispersed patients have meaningful opportunities to contribute.

What to expect, honestly

Hemabis still building a lot of its own structure.

Systems here tend to get created as we need them, not handed down in advance.

Whoever takes this role will likely buildsome of their ownprocessinstead of inheriting a finished one. We work across two hubs and multiple time zones- bridging that well takes real, deliberate effort. And becausewe'regrowing quickly, priorities can shift with less notice than they would at a larger, more established company.

It'sgenuinelyenergisingfor the right person and genuinely frustrating for the wrong one. If you want a place where the operating manual is already written, this might not be it– but if you want to help write it, this…
