Job Title: VP head of Therapeutics Design

Job Type: Permanent

Location: Abingdon - UK, Alderley Park- UK or Verona, Italy

Our Company

Evotec is a leader in the discovery and development of novel small molecule drugs with operational sites in Europe and the US. The Company has built substantial drug discovery expertise and an industrialised platform that can drive new innovative small molecule compounds into the clinic. In addition, Evotec has built a deep internal knowledge base in the treatment of diseases related to neuroscience, pain, oncology, inflammation and metabolic diseases. Leveraging these skills and expertise the Company intends to develop best-in-class differentiated therapeutics and deliver superior science-driven discovery alliances with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies

Purpose of the role
- The Vice President, Head of Therapeutics Design is the single accountable owner of Evotec’s in silico therapeutics design capability, bringing computational chemistry, generative and modality design (small molecule, peptide, protein engineering,



targeted degraders and molecular glues) and predictive ADMET/Safety together under one mandate.
- The role exists at the point where chemistry meets biology at scale. Evotec pairs deep computational chemistry with proprietary patient-derived multi-omics and real experimental safety and toxicology data, a combination that software-only and biology-only competitors cannot replicate. The role holder makes chemistry decisions demonstrably better by grounding them in that data, rather than competing in commoditising standalone generative design.
- This is a newly created unit within the In Silico & AI group, and the role carries an explicit build mandate: set the technical vision, shape and grow the team, and industrialise the capability. It comes with executive sponsorshipa consolidated AI and engineering capability to draw on, and a direct reporting line to the EVP, Head of Global In Silico & AI.
