Program & Alliance Manager

Program & Alliance Manager

New Haven, CT | On-site / Hybrid

Bexorg is a precision neurology company working to improve how new medicines for central nervous system (CNS) diseases are discovered and developed.

Our team sits at the intersection of cutting-edge neuroscience, AI, engineering, and translational drug development. This work requires scientific rigor, responsible stewardship, and close collaboration across disciplines.

We are looking for people who are curious, accountable, and ready to tackle unique challenges. At Bexorg, you will work alongside colleagues who ask thoughtful questions, share ideas openly, and take ownership for moving complex work forward. Whether your background is in neuroscience, biology, engineering, data science, or operations, you can help build a stronger foundation for decisions that shape new CNS medicines.

Bexorg is seeking a Program & Alliance Manager to lead the integrated planning and execution of cross-functional R&D programs. This role will ensure that scientific, operational, data, and external work streams come together against clear milestones, budgets, and commitments.

Bexorg programs span multiple functions and may move from a scientific question or partner objective through human-brain studies, sample generation, internal and external assays, data integration, and final scientific delivery. The Program & Alliance Manager will serve as the connective tissue across these activities, driving alignment, visibility, risk management, and delivery.

The role will also manage the external partners, CROs, and alliances associated with assigned programs. Functional leaders remain accountable for execution within their areas; this role owns the integrated program and ensures that the full chain comes together successfully.

This is an execution and accountability role, not simply a meeting-management role. Success requires knowing what was committed, what must happen next, who owns each action, where risks or dependencies exist, and whether the final scientific and data deliverables have been completed.

• Own integrated program plans for assigned R&D programs, including milestones, timelines, dependencies, deliverables, decision points, resource requirements, and budgets.
• Translate scientific objectives into executable plans spanning cohort and study requirements, Brain Ex execution, sample needs, assays, data outputs, quality control, analysis, and final delivery.
• Drive cross-functional coordination across Drug Discovery, Tissue Procurement, Platform Operations, Brain Bank, Quality, Data/AI, Finance, and other functions as appropriate.
• Establish clear workstream ownership, commitments, and acceptance criteria while ensuring functional leaders retain responsibility for execution within their respective areas.
• Maintain alignment among the study plan, experiments performed, samples generated and consumed, external assays, data produced, and final deliverables.
• Proactively identify program risks, bottlenecks, and cross-functional dependencies; facilitate resolution and elevate issues or decisions when necessary to maintain progress.
• Track program performance against plan, including timelines, scientific and data milestones, sample use, budget, and external spend.
• Lead decision-oriented program reviews and provide concise executive visibility into program health, risks, decisions, and upcoming milestones.

• Serve as the primary program-management interface for pharma, biotech, academic, and strategic partners associated with assigned programs.
• Translate collaboration agreements and scientific commitments into practical operating plans, governance, deliverables, timelines, responsibilities, and decision points.
• Integrate CROs and specialized research vendors supporting assigned programs, aligning scope, timelines, sample logistics, quality expectations, data return, cost, and issue resolution with program objectives.
• Maintain clear records of decisions, commitments, risks, scope changes, and follow-up actions, and coordinate internally before new commitments are made externally.
• Build trusted partner relationships through transparent communication, effective governance, timely issue resolution, and consistent follow-through.

• Develop and continuously improve scalable program-management tools, templates, dashboards, governance, and operating rhythms appropriate for Bexorg's…
