Axtria is seeking a visionary leader for its Drug Discovery & Computational Biology practice within the Clinical Solutions business. This role will spearhead next-generation R&D; front-end capabilities — from generative molecular design and multi-omics data integration to digital twin modeling and AI-driven portfolio decision-making. Acting as the primary Subject Matter Expert (SME), you will architect and deliver computational platforms that accelerate target identification, lead optimization, and candidate selection for pharmaceutical clients. The position offers an unparalleled prospect to shape Axtria's differentiated capabilities in one of the fastest-evolving intersections of AI and life sciences.
Core Responsibilities
Strategic Leadership
Define and execute the vision for Drug Discovery & Computational Biology within Axtria’s Clinical Solutions COE, anchoring practice growth on generative AI, multi-omics, and digital twin capabilities.
Supervise Associate Directors and senior scientists, ensuring delivery excellence, capability development, and a culture of scientific rigor.




Maintain high CSAT and NPS scores to ensure customer satisfaction and long-term client relationships.
Generative Molecular Design
Lead design and productionization of GNN- and transformer-based generative models (e.g., graph-based VAEs, diffusion models, equivariant architectures) for de novo molecular generation and lead optimization — explicitly focused on structure-activity modelling, not literature mining.
Oversee property-conditioned generation pipelines that simultaneously optimize for potency, selectivity, synthesizability, and ADMET profiles.
Partner with client medicinal chemistry teams to embed generative design workflows into existing discovery platforms and CRO ecosystems.
FAIR-Compliant Multi-Omics Pipelines
Architect FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) multi-omics data integration platforms spanning genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and
