Director, Quality (Clinical)

About us

Braveheart Bio is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and other serious cardiovascular diseases. Our lead product candidate, BHB-1893, is a next-generation oral small-molecule cardiac myosin inhibitor (CMI) being developed for the treatment of obstructive HCM (oHCM) and non-obstructive HCM (nHCM). Braveheart’s goal is to improve the treatment options for these patients by enhancing speed of onset, depth of gradient response, systolic safety, reversibility and reducing prescribing complexity.

With a proven leadership team, a strong financial foundation, and a high-value late-stage asset, Braveheart Bio represents an outstanding opportunity for ambitious, mission-driven professionals to make a tangible impact in a high-profile and rapidly evolving therapeutic area.

The role

The Director of Quality will serve as a senior quality leader for Braveheart Bio and will be responsible for clinical quality oversight, clinical data integrity, GCP inspection readiness, and support of nonclinical quality activities as needed for our late-stage clinical program in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Reporting to the Vice President, Quality, this individual will execute the clinical oversight framework to support global Phase 3 execution, guide clinical development teams, and prepare the organization for future regulatory submissions and commercialization activities. This is a high-exposure role requiring a senior quality leader who can independently evaluate complex clinical quality issues, identify material risks, and make well-supported recommendations that preserve data integrity, subject protection, regulatory compliance, and inspection readiness. This leader will partner closely with Clinical Development, Regulatory, Biometrics, PV, Data Management, Medical, Legal and external CRO and vendor partners to ensure effective, inspection-ready clinical quality oversight across all programs. The Director may also build and lead a small quality team as Braveheart grows. This is a hands-on, strategic, and foundational role for a lean, fast-moving biotech entering late-stage development.
