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.

BridgeBio is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering, developing, and delivering transformative medicines for patients living with genetic diseases and genetically defined cancers. Since our founding in 2015, we have built a diverse portfolio of more than 20 drug development programs, ranging from early discovery to late-stage clinical trials, across multiple therapeutic areas including precision oncology, cardiology, endocrinology, neurology, and renal disease. We have already achieved regulatory approval for three therapies and continue to advance promising science from academia into meaningful treatments for patients worldwide. 

BridgeBio is a global biotechnology company with our Global Headquarters located in San Francisco, USA, and our International HQ located in Zug, Switzerland. Since establishing our European presence in 2021, we’ve been building empowered, high-performing teams across countries —with experienced colleagues who move quickly, take ownership, and are fueling the company’s international growth. 

At BridgeBio, you’ll find an energetic and collaborative culture where pragmatism meets with bold decision-making. We embrace uncertainty with confidence, guided by our commitment to making a meaningful impact for patients. Our people are trusted and empowered, united by urgency, purpose, and the drive to advance science for patients around the world.

The Vice President & General Manager, EU North, reporting to the SVP, Head of International, leads BridgeBio’s commercial presence across the Nordic region, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. The role carries full P&L responsibility for the cluster and is accountable for building the organization, shaping the commercial construct, and securing the external relationships required to bring our innovative medicines to patients across these markets, in close coordination with BridgeBio International headquarters in Zurich.

Bringing the Nordics, the United Kingdom, and Ireland under a single leadership mandate is deliberate. The clinical, payer, and advocacy networks that drive rare disease access across these geographies are deeply interconnected — published evidence travels, centers of expertise cross-refer, and national HTA bodies observe one another's decisions. Insight, credibility, and relationships built in one market compound across the cluster.

The successful candidate will join at the inception phase of our EU North operations, shape the organization from the first hire forward, and define how BridgeBio shows up to patients, clinicians, payers, and policymakers in the cluster for years to come.
