• Support the planning and execution of Health Authority interactions, including drafting or coordinating sections of briefing documents and organizing meeting materials.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams and external partners to ensure regulatory deliverables are complete, high‑quality, and consistent across documents.

• A collaborative mindset and comfort working in a dynamic, small‑company environment with evolving priorities and broad responsibilities.

 

About Maze Therapeutics 

Maze Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company harnessing the power of human genetics to develop novel, small molecule precision medicines for patients living with renal, cardiovascular and related metabolic diseases, including obesity.
