Human Resources Coordinator, Senior Administrative Assistant

Position Title: Human Resources Coordinator, Senior Administrative Assistant

Reports to: Executive Assistant to CEO

Status: Regular, Full-Time, Non-Exempt

Location: San Francisco, CA (moving soon to South San Francisco)

Summary: Assembly Biosciences (NASDAQ symbol ASMB) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing two innovative platform programs: a Hepatitis B-Cure program consisting of a new class of oral therapeutic candidates for the treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and a novel class of oral synthetic live biotherapeutic candidates, which are designed to treat disorders associated with the Microbiome. We pride ourselves on creating a culture and work environment that is scientifically driven, ambitious, and collaborative. We encourage the diversity of thought that leads to great innovation and are looking to add to our dynamic team people who are driven to transform the lives of patients.

The HBV pipeline consists of a lead program in multiple global Phase 2a studies; a 2 nd Generation program entering Phase I late this year, and a 3 rd program approaching clinical candidate selection. We expect this pipeline to represent a backbone therapy for increasing cures in HBV and can be envisioned as a foundation of the company's research in virology globally.

We believe our Microbiome platform represents the best in class approach to developing biopharmaceutical agents from live biotherapeutic products. Our lead programs in GI are nearing the first IND/Phase Ib later this year for Ulcerative Colitis; this program is part of a partnership we established with Allergan in 2017 with a total value of up to over $2.8 Billion. Our internal pipeline of other disease areas in consideration for advancement that are wholly owned by Assembly and will represent first in class or best in class microbiome programs in areas such as Immuno Oncology, Liver Diseases, and many other areas of high medical need.

Assembly is headquartered in Carmel, Indiana, while the R&D headquarters is in South San Francisco. The Company also has a microbiome manufacturing facility in Groton, CT, and a research office in Shanghai, China. The Company has a strong balance sheet having recently raised $166 million, bringing its cash reserves to approximately $250 million - and thus positioned well to build the next phase of Assembly toward global development and commercialization of our innovative medicines in HBV-cure and the Microbiome.
