About Apheris
At Apheris, we are building the future of how AI is applied in pharmaceutical R&D.
Our federated computing technology enables global pharma companies to collaborate securely on large AI models that accelerate drug discovery, without ever sharing their proprietary data. By powering multi-partner data networks across small molecules, antibodies, and protein folding, Apheris is redefining how science and AI intersect.
We currently host two flagship networks: the
AI Structural Biology (AISB) Network, focused on protein co-folding and binding affinity prediction, and the
ADMET Network, focused on small-molecule property prediction. In addition, we have just launched
ApherisFold, an enterprise co-folding application that enables pharma teams to deploy cutting-edge models such as OpenFold 3 and Boltz-2 directly within their own environments.
About the role
We’re hiring a Growth Manager / Associate to turn the momentum of our federated networks into scalable, data-driven growth. You’ll design systems, run experiments, and help shape how the world’s top pharma companies discover Apheris. You’ll create a data-driven, scalable growth engine — combining paid search, account-based outreach, CRM automation, and analytics to generate qualified leads and improve marketing performance.
You’ll work closely with the Brand & Demand Generation Manager and the Business Development team to ensure that Apheris’ outreach, campaigns, and marketing systems run as a cohesive and measurable funnel from awareness to opportunity. This way, you’ll bring our top of funnel to the next level.
This is a hands-on, system-building role for someone who thrives at the intersection of B2B top-of-funnel growth, automation, and scientific audiences. To be considered for this role, you must have a demonstrable track record of setting up data-driven growth engines, preferably integrated with agentic workflows. Our focus is on a niche scientific audience at leading pharmaceutical and biotech companies.
