Position Title: Program/Project Manager

Reports to: CEO

Department: R&D Location Belfast, Northern Ireland
Issue Date January 2023

Introduction
Re-Vana Therapeutics, founded in 2016 and incorporated in both the U.K. and U.S. is a spin-out
from Queen's University Belfast (QUB) Northern Ireland. We are developing innovative and
proprietary biodegradable sustained-release technologies for the delivery of biologics and small
molecules drugs, with a focus on ophthalmic indications.
Our value proposition is the ability to develop "customized" sustained-release implants capable of
delivering both biologics and small molecules for as long as 6 months or more, thus reducing the
frequency of ocular injections and reducing or eliminating the need for topical eye drops. The
sustained delivery of biologic drugs is recognized as one of the major unmet needs within
ophthalmology. Currently, ophthalmic biologic drugs represent a $14B market worldwide with growth
projections reaching more than $22B by 2024.
Our dual strategy includes the internal development of sustained-release therapeutics alongside the
development of external strategic collaborations with major pharmaceutical partners. To date ReVana has achieved significant progress and global awareness, raising seed money in 2017, a preSeries A in 2020 and a Series A in 2022 that included leading U.S. Ophthalmic and U.K. Venture
Capital Investors. We have been awarded two significant Innovate U.K. government grants for the
development of sustained-release ocular biologics. In 2022, we were awarded the prestigious
Ophthalmic Innovation Summit Retina Award for "Drug Delivery Innovation" and the Belfast
Chamber "Business Innovation" company of the year. In addition, Re-Vana has established a
compelling Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) that includes global ophthalmic opinion leaders.
We are seeking to further strengthen the team by hiring a full-time, Program Manager to develop and
manage an internal Project Management system within the company.
The successful candidate will be a key member of the Belfast based team. Reporting to the CEO,
he/she will work extensively with the COO, CTO and the internal scientific team.
