Director of Talent
About The Position
GondolaBio is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing breakthrough therapeutics for genetic diseases. GondolaBio is an independent sister company to BridgeBio, originally carved out in 2024 after securing $300M in private financing from external investors. GondolaBio aims to leverage cutting-edge biological research to discover, create, test, and deliver transformative medicines to treat patients who suffer from genetic diseases. GondolaBio is seeking a Director of Talent to partner closely with the President and leadership team on attracting exceptional talent and building a high-performing, patient-centric organization. Recruiting will be the anchor of the role, with a broader mandate to serve as a practical thought partner on organization design, team effectiveness, and culture. This is a hands-on, high-judgment role for someone who can move fluidly between search execution, sensitive people problem-solving, and consulting-style projects. The emphasis is on talent and organization building rather than traditional HR administration or policy ownership.
