About the role

Genentech is seeking a Principal Scientist in Translational Safety located in South San Francisco. The role focuses on providing scientific leadership across drug development, leading safety assessments, and shaping strategies for multiple development programs, including novel modalities. You will design safety programs, integrate toxicology, pathology, pharmacology, and clinical data, and communicate risk assessments to senior decision-makers, contributing to portfolio strategy.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
