About the role

Cornerstone Search Group has been engaged to fill a newly created Chief Legal Officer role for a high-profile, well-funded biotech company. You will partner with the CEO and leadership team to shape legal, regulatory, and compliance strategy across R&D to commercialization, including global regulatory pathways. The ideal candidate brings JD credentials, 12+ years of senior biotech legal leadership, and a track record with NDA/BLA approvals, IP, contracts, and strategic partnerships.

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.
