Are you energised by working at the intersection of science, strategy, and company-building in biotech? Do you thrive on turning complex scientific and business questions into clear strategic choices? And do you want to work close to senior leadership in a company where your work will directly influence portfolio decisions, corporate priorities, and how the company communicates its ambition externally?

If so, you may be our next Strategy Manager to work with scientific strategy and corporate development.

Join Gubra at a defining stage of growth

Gubra is a Danish biotech company rooted in scientific excellence and driven by innovation. We combine deep scientific insight with cutting edge technologies to advance peptide-based drug discovery, while also operating a strong preclinical research business and an expanding Ventures platform. As Gubra continues to grow across Biotech, CRO, and Ventures, we are strengthening our Strategy function to support the next phase of development.

The role

As Strategy Manager, you will lead and support high-priority strategic initiatives across the company, reporting to the Head of Strategy and working closely with Executive Leadership. Your work will span corporate strategy, portfolio and R&D priorities, strategic planning, opportunity assessment, and external narrative development. This is a role for someone who enjoys moving between big picture strategic questions and detailed scientific or business analysis. You will work across disciplines and functions to help ensure that strategic decisions are rigorous, well-informed, and actionable.

What you will do

• Lead strategic analyses and projects across Gubra Biotech, Ventures, and CRO
• Translate complex scientific findings, portfolio questions, and business inputs into clear strategic implications and decision-ready recommendations
• Prepare analyses and presentations for Executive Management and the Board of Directors
• Support the assessment of new technologies, partnerships, and other strategic opportunities
• Help shape elements of Gubra’s external strategic narrative for investors, partners, and other key stakeholders
• Conduct competitive intelligence and landscape analyses to inform strategic decisions, portfolio choices, and external positioning
• Contribute to strengthening strategic processes, governance, and decision support as the company continues to scale

What you bring

We are looking for someone with a strong strategic toolkit and genuine scientific curiosity. You may come from management consulting, internal strategy, corporate development, investing, or another strategy-focused role within life sciences, biotech, or pharma. What matters most is that you have experience solving complex strategic problems in a rigorous and structured way, and that you are motivated by working close to science.

We imagine that you bring:

• An educational background in life sciences, biotechnology, medicine, or a related field; a PhD or equivalent experience is an advantage
• Experience from a strategy-focused role, such as management consulting, internal strategy, corporate development, transaction advisory, or a related role in life sciences
• Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills
• Ability to engage deeply with scientific data and biological rationale, while keeping sight of strategic and commercial implications
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to synthesise complexity into concise, high-quality materials for senior decision makers

Who you are

You are motivated by impact and excited by the opportunity to help shape direction in a growing biotech company. You enjoy working on challenging questions and are energised by the combination of science, strategy, and execution. You are comfortable with ambiguity, but you bring structure to it. You build credibility through thoughtful analysis, sound judgement, and a strong ability to get things over the line.
