Business Development, Oncology & Immunology

The Opportunity

We are looking for a VP / Assistant VP / Senior Director – Business Development, Oncology &

Immunology to lead and expand Partex.AI's business development activities across AsiaPacific, with a particular focus on pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in Singapore,

Japan, China and the broader APAC region.

We are looking for someone who brings the skills and commercial understanding of a true drug

hunter — someone who understands what pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies look

for when evaluating assets for in-licensing, co-development, strategic partnerships and

portfolio expansion.

The primary focus of this role will be to out-license Partex.AI's oncology and immunology

assets, identify strategic partners, develop senior-level relationships and drive opportunities

from initial engagement through valuation, negotiation and potentially term-sheet execution.

The ideal candidate will bring a strong, demonstrable deal sheet, an established network across

Pharma/Biotech and the ability to independently identify, qualify and convert high-value

licensing opportunities.

Role & Business Context

Partex.AI's Asset Exchange business focuses on increasing the value and attractiveness of

pharmaceutical assets through AI-driven dossier enrichment.

• Identification of new indications

• Identification of synergistic combination opportunities

• AI-driven asset analysis and prioritization

• Generation of new biological or clinical hypotheses

• Validation of hypotheses through wet-lab capabilities where appropriate

• Development of compelling scientific and commercial narratives

• Partner identification and outreach

• Asset valuation and commercial positioning

• Negotiation and progression toward term sheets and licensing agreements

Many of our Asset Exchange opportunities are structured around risk-sharing commercial

models, where revenues are linked to the successful licensing or development of an asset.

In addition to Asset Exchange and Asset Management, Partex.AI operates a significant Asset

Services business focused on AI solutions for R&D, patient data, validation and related

services. While this will not be the primary focus of the position, the ability to identify crossselling and strategic partnership opportunities across the broader Partex.AI portfolio will be

highly valued.
