Project Manager, THRIVE PERC Program

Are you ready to bridge the gap between cutting-edge genetic research and life-changing clinical impact? The Broad Institute is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Project Manager to join the Pediatric Epilepsies & Rare CNS (PERC) Gene Editing Platform. As part of the prestigious ARPA-H THRIVE program, you will work at the intersection of technology and medicine, helping to coordinate the development and deployment of precision gene editors designed to treat children suffering from developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. This is a rare opportunity for an early-career professional to play a foundational role in a high-stakes, mission-driven environment that pushes the boundaries of what is possible in therapeutic genetics.

In this role, you will be the heartbeat of our project operations, ensuring our multidisciplinary teams stay aligned, communicative, and on track to meet ambitious technical milestones. You will gain invaluable experience in the management of complex, large-scale scientific initiatives, working closely with leading researchers and engineers to translate laboratory innovation into tangible clinical solutions. If you are a proactive problem-solver with a passion for biotechnology, a knack for organizational excellence, and a drive to contribute to a project that could reshape the future of pediatric neurological care, we invite you to help us drive the PERC program forward and make a lasting difference in the lives of patients and their families.
