About this role
About Artos
At Artos, we build tools that help biopharma companies create and manage their R&D documentation in a fraction of the time. If you’re looking to join a team whose mission is to fundamentally change the way that drug development gets done, we’d love to talk to you.
We’re growing very fast, and we’re looking for a domain-expert technical product lead —someone with a strong pharma background who can sit between engineering teams and end users, help implement our system in real customer environments, and translate deeply technical capabilities into workflows that actually make sense to scientists, medical writers, and regulatory teams.
This is not a traditional product manager role, nor a traditional medical writing role. It’s a hybrid: part domain architect, part technical translator, part customer-facing problem solver.
The Role
As a core member of Artos’s product team, you will act as the bridge between engineering and domain experts.
Your primary responsibility will be to help design, implement, and evolve systems that generate and manage regulatory and R&D documentation—particularly in the non-clinical and/or CMC domains—by ensuring that domain reality is faithfully represented in the pro
duct.
You will work closely with
End users: (medical writers, regulatory professionals, scientists) to understand how documents are actually authored, reviewed, and quality-controlled in practice
Engineering teams: to translate those workflows, constraints, and edge cases into system behavior
Product leadership: to shape feature scope, prioritization, and release readiness
You will help explain how the system works to users, collect feedback on where it breaks down, and communicate those insights back to engineering in a way that is precise, actionable, and technically useful.
What You’ll Actually Do
This role is about systems, not just documents.
You will
Deconstruct how regulatory and R&D documents are authored, reviewed, and QC’d in real organizations
Translate domain rules, conventions, and preferences into clear product and engineering requirements
Help implement Artos in customer environments and support early adoption
Evaluate AI-generated outputs for correctness, structure, and regulatory soundness
Identify gaps, inconsistencies, and edge cases, and work with engineers to resolve them
Help validate features ahead of release by stress-testing them against real-world
use cases
Communicate technical system behavior to non-technical users, and user needs back to engineers
You’ll work across a wide range of content: CTD modules, internal summaries, briefing packages, templates, and sponsor-facing deliverables. You don’t need to be an expert in every document type on day one, but you do need to learn quickly and explain what you learn clearly.
Who This Role Is For
This role is ideal for someone who
Comes from pharma or biotech and deeply understands regulatory documentation
Is excited by product design and system thinking, not just writing
Enjoys acting as a translator between technical and non-technical teams
Wants to shape how AI systems behave in regulated environments
Qualifications
3+ years of experience in medical writing, regulatory affairs, or a closely related pharma role
Direct experience drafting, reviewing, or overseeing CTD content (especially non-clinical)and/or CMC)
Strong understanding of regulatory expectations across FDA, EMA, and ICH
Experience working cross-functionally with regulatory, scientific, and technical stakeholders
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Requirements
Ability to analyze workflows and extract rules, patterns, and constraints
Comfort reviewing structured or semi-structured system outputs (including AI-generated content)
Ability to communicate clearly with engineers and product teams
Willingness to be customer-facing and support implementation
and feedback loops
Familiarity with structured data formats (XML, JSON) is a plus
Experience working with life sciences software tools is a plus
Ability to operate independently in a fast-moving startup environment
Other Information
Very comfortable working in a fast-paced and intense startup environment
Willing to work in-person in our office in Mission Bay 4-5 days/week
