Analyst / Senior Analyst, Corporate Strategy

The Analyst, Corporate Strategy sits at the center of how Lila Sciences thinks about its future.

You will work directly with senior leaders across the company and have regular exposure to board and investor-level materials.

This role is well-suited to someone early in their career who is intellectually curious, operates with strong analytical rigor, and is energized by working at the intersection of science, technology, and business strategy.
