Executive Relationship Officer or EXRO (yeah, we made the title up! and you get to write the job description)
This opportunity is for the person who's had success and wants to help build lasting change as a Strategic Pharma Industry Advisor.
Intrigued?
In a nutshell, it's about helping to bring a transformational technology disruptor to market.
Luminari has built a proprietary AI LLM that compresses clinical trial protocol development from an average of 8 weeks to just 8 minutes—WITH regulatory-grade accuracy, trained on 10,000+ FDA submissions. This shift isn't an incremental improvement; it's a fundamental transformation of how drugs reach patients.
We are looking for an Industry Savvy Champion. This opportunity is not 'a job' or 'a consulting gig', not even 'a board member seat' yet. We're looking for someone to champion our effort, open a few key doors, validate us with credibility we haven't had a chance to prove emphatically just quite yet, and help us build something that becomes the STANDARD in Pharma AI.
You Have:
- Launched drugs - you understand the regulatory process from IND to NDA/BLA
- Built or managed clinical operations teams at scale - you've overseen 10+ simultaneous trials.
- Navigated FDA, EMA, and global regulatory agencies- you know how to get things approved.
You're currently interested in:
- The AI revolution, but skeptical of the hype, and you want to see the real product before you commit.
You believe:
- Your decades of experience are worth more than a consulting day rate—they're worth equity in something transformational.
You bring:
- 20+ years in Pharma, biotech, or CROs. You've launched products, navigated regulatory nightmares, built teams, closed partnerships, and probably have a Rolodex that would make a McKinsey partner jealous.
- Motivation beyond money - you're financially stable, maybe thinking about retirement, or already there.
- A legacy mindset - you want to build something that outlasts you.
- A drive where Impact matters more than title - you'd rather change the industry than manage a P&L.
This opportunity is:
· This is an invitation to co-build the infrastructure that will reshape how the pharmaceutical industry develops drugs.
- Real technology and the product – LumiPath™ is built, it works, and it's demonstrably better than the status quo.
- Real mission - every protocol we help generate gets therapies to patients faster.
The Luminari CRO Team will work behind you:
- An experienced CEO and a team that has over 50 years of deep, aligned pharma experience.
- We are NOT a "couple of Stanford kids who think 'healthcare is broken' and have never filed an IND".
- A Team that has more than a two (2) year head start in AI technology for regulatory solutions.
What you get:
In return, you get equity in what industry analysts believe will become a multi-hundred-million-dollar company, visibility as one of the architects of the AI-powered clinical trial era, and the satisfaction of knowing you helped accelerate therapies to patients who are running out of time. And, oh yes, a way to put the finishing touches on your professional legacy in this space.
How to Start the Conversation
Rather than the traditional resume model, simply send us an email with:
- Why are you interested in this opportunity, and why now? (75-100 words max, or be different and send a 120 sec. video): You could do many, many other things with your time and credibility. Why are you interested in this role?
- Tell us about your biggest skepticism (100 words max): What's the thing that makes you think "this probably won't work"? - We'd rather address it upfront.
- A link to your LinkedIn profile and/or personal website.
Send to:
Subject: "Champion Role - [Your Name] - Let's Talk"
We'll set up a call within 48 hours if there's a mutual fit.
