Bio foundation models are turning experimental guesswork into prediction, and the industry built on that science is set to produce more medicine, faster, than at any point in history.\nThe bottleneck for bringing these medicines to patients will be everything downstream of the science: clinical & regulatory strategy, portfolio decision making, the governance reviews, launch planning. That work is still done by smart people manually assembling context from a hundred sources, and it moves at the speed of headcount.\nArgon builds the AI workforce for that layer. Our platform provides workflow automation purpose-built for biopharma commercial and portfolio teams, specialized from the data model up.\nWe're an early-stage YC-backed company founded in 2024, working with top-tier pharma and several of the largest life sciences consultancies. We're growing quickly, with 7-figure ARR up 5x year-to-date.\nWe pride ourselves on outsized output, being kind, and balancing excellence and progress. Join us if you want to be productive, move fast, and shape the future.\nWhy this role\nYou'd be the first industry hire on the Life Sciences team. The Life Sciences team is the group of industry experts that help bridge industry expertise with AI systems. We are looking for an expert with first-hand experience navigating pharma’s portfolio strategy, governance and commercial operations to help us bridge that critical domain knowledge with our platform.\nYou will help our partners get value from our software products, drive deployments, and identify use-cases and opportunities to drive our product execution.\nConcretely, the split looks like:\n40% client-facing business development. Industry events, prospect conversations, and translating what Argon does into the specific decision VPs in Commercial teams are trying to make next quarter.\n\n40% deployment. Hands-on onboarding, training, and working sessions with new and current accounts. You own whether users get real value in the first 60 days.\n\n20% product. You're the voice of the customer in our roadmap. Surface the workflows we're not serving and the gaps between what the current version of Argon can do and what the job actually requires.\n\nThis is a founding role. There is no playbook, no established territory, and no one above you who knows this domain better. You'll write the playbook and help to build this function from the ground up.\nWhat you bring\n6+ years in commercial and portfolio strategy in biopharma. Direct biotech or big pharma experience is preferred over pure consulting.\n\nDeep working knowledge of pharma's internal governance process for clinical and commercial decision-making with first hand experience seeing how decisions actually get made.\n\nExperience running client-facing, multi-stakeholder engagements with real complexity.\n\nGenuine comfort operating without structure. The most common way this role fails is someone excellent who needs a defined process to work inside.\n\nYou already use AI tools in your own work.\n\nWhat you’ll be responsible for\nDrive business development efforts including attendance of industry events and leading client conversations for tailored use cases of Argon’s platform\n\nLead customer deployments with hands-on training and working sessions to help users get value from the platform quickly\n\nHelp shape product strategy and roadmap by deeply understanding customer workflows and the gaps in the current product\n\nCompensation\nCompensation is dependent on experience and fit. We aim for a culture of competitive market salary and top 10% in equity.\nCash compensation: $170,000 - $240,000\n\nEquity: .2% - 1%","description_format":"text","description_chars":3667,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Biotechnology","Custom Software Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-13T00:51:45Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Filed H-1B visas in the last two years","filings_12m":0,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":11,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.38,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":76,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/argon-ai-founding-member-life-sciences","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/argon-ai-founding-member-life-sciences.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T09:48:32Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11074,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":672082},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=672082"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fargon-ai-founding-member-life-sciences"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fargon-ai-founding-member-life-sciences"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fargon-ai-founding-member-life-sciences"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/argon-ai-founding-member-life-sciences\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fargon-ai-founding-member-life-sciences"}]}
