Scholar Rock is a biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, and delivers life-changing therapies for people with serious diseases that have high unmet need. As a global leader in the biology of the transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) superfamily of cell proteins and named for the visual resemblance of a scholar rock to protein structures, the clinical-stage company is focused on advancing innovative treatments where protein growth factors are fundamental. Over the past decade, the company has created a pipeline with the potential to advance the standard of care for neuromuscular disease, cardiometabolic disorders, cancer, and other conditions where growth factor-targeted drugs can play a transformational role.
Scholar Rock is the only company to show clinical proof of concept for a muscle-targeted treatment in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). This commitment to unlocking fundamentally different therapeutic approaches is powered by broad application of a proprietary platform, which has developed novel monoclonal antibodies to modulate protein growth factors with extraordinary selectivity. By harnessing cutting-edge science in disease spaces that are historically under-addressed through traditional therapies, Scholar Rock works every day to create new possibilities for patients.

Summary of Position:
Scholar Rock is entering a defining chapter as we prepare to launch our first commercial product. We are seeking a Director of Global Facilities who can lead our facilities function with a strategic, enterprise-wide perspective while remaining deeply engaged in day-to-day operations. This is not a purely administrative role. We need a builder — someone who understands what it takes to scale infrastructure in a growing biotech organization and is equally comfortable shaping long-term facility strategy as they are resolving operational issues in real time.
With facilities across the globe and ready for future expansion, this leader will ensure our environments are safe, compliant, efficient, and built to support both research and commercial readiness. If you are a self-motivated individual who enjoys the challenges and opportunities that come with a growing, transformative organization, this is an excellent opportunity to apply yourself, learn, and make an impact. You thrive in environments where you are involved in both strategic planning (the bigger picture) and execution. As a catalyst for the organization, you value proactive collaboration, communication, and teamwork as essential for success.
