What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director of Scientific Publications position at Hemab Therapeutics?
About Hemab
At Hemab Therapeutics, we’re redefining how bleeding and thrombotic disorders are understood and treated.
Our vision: to become the ultimate clotting company through patient-centric innovation and advocacy-driven engagement.
With headquarters in Boston and Copenhagen, we operate in an agile, high-impact environment. Our culture rewards curiosity, mechanistic reasoning, and translational impact.
We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing a pipeline of innovative therapeutics designed to restore hemostatic balance in underserved patient populations.
The Opportunity
The Director of Scientific Publications operates at the intersection of medical strategy and publication execution, partnering directly with Medical Directors and Scientists at Hemab Therapeutics. This role requires both strategic thinking to assemble evidence generation plans and hands-on expertise to author manuscripts, develop scientific platforms, and manage publication timelines.
We do it because we believe when clinicians see better evidence, they change practice—and when practice changes, patients with rare diseases finally get the care they deserve. We are a small team of drug developers advancing novel therapies with elegant science. It's intellectually demanding, it's mission-driven, and if you think you're a good fit we'd love to hear from you.
