Description
Mavericks Wanted
When was the last time you achieved the impossible? If that thought feels overwhelming, you might want to pause here, but if it sparks excitement...read on In 2015, we pioneered a “moneyball for biotech” approach, pooling projects and promising early-stage research from academia together under one financial umbrella to reduce risk and unleash innovation. This model allows science and small teams of experts to lead the way. We build bridges to groundbreaking advancements in rare disease, and develop life-changing medicines for patients with unmet needs as fast as humanly possible. Together we define white space, push boundaries, and empower people to solve problems. If you're someone who defies convention, join us and work alongside some of the most respected minds in the industry. Together, we'll ask "why not?" and help reengineer the future of biopharma. At BridgeBio, we value curiosity and experimentation—including the ethical & thoughtful use of AI to improve clarity, speed, and quality of work. What You'll Do
Strategy at BridgeBio is not a support function. It is the connective tissue between where we are and where we are going.
The Head of Strategic Planning will partner directly with the Chief Strategy Officer & Chief Legal Officer to shape the corporate strategy of one of the most productive rare disease companies in the industry. This is a role for someone who thinks rigorously, communicates with precision, and brings the kind of structured, first-principles thinking that turns complexity into clarity for a Board, a CEO, or an affiliate head trying to make a critical decision.
This person will be at the center of BridgeBio’s most important strategic questions, focusing on organizational long-range strategic planning and strategic prioritization. They will be a key author of the materials that bring answers to life for senior audiences inside and outside the company.

Reporting directly to the Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Legal Officer, you will have meaningful visibility into the company’s strategic decisions and a genuine voice in shaping them as you build trust and demonstrate impact.
Builder’s Mandate
BridgeBio is at an inflection point. With multiple product launches approaching and a growing pipeline, the strategic planning function is being built for what this company is becoming, not what it has been.
Breadth of Scope
Long-range strategic planning, pipeline prioritization, partnership considerations, competitive positioning, Board materials: this role spans the full strategic agenda of a $15B publicly traded rare disease company.
Mission at the Core
Strategy here is not abstract. Every framework you build, every analysis you run, every recommendation you make is ultimately in service of getting life-changing medicines to patients who have no alternatives.
As Head of Strategic Planning, you will serve as a core strategic partner to the Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Legal Officer and executive leadership, owning the analytical and planning infrastructure that drives BridgeBio’s most important decisions. You will not just analyze. You will advise, advocate, and help the organization act.
