Century Therapeutics is developing novel allogeneic living cell products for oncology that overcome the limitations of current cell therapies. Century's genetically-engineered, universal iPSC-derived immune effector cell products are designed to specifically target hematologic and solid tumor cancers. Our commitment to developing off-the-shelf cell therapies will expand patient access and provide an unparalleled opportunity to advance the course of cancer care.

Century's foundational technology is built on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that have unlimited self-renewing capacity. This enables complex cellular engineering to produce controlled cell banks of modified cells that can be expanded and differentiated into desired immune effector cells, which can supply vast amounts of allogeneic, homogeneous therapeutic products. This platform differentiates Century from other approaches that utilize non-renewable donor-derived cells.

Role:

If you are passionate about people, are a true culture carrier, and have an eye for exceptional talent, come join the People Team at Century Therapeutics. CenturyTx is growing and we are looking for an Early Career Talent Recruiter to help the organization scale. We are a high-performing team at Century Therapeutics and we are looking for someone to join our team who is passionate and courageous, is serious about their work (but doesn't take themselves too seriously) and recognizes that cell therapy R&D is challenging, but remembers that we are stronger together.

This is a new position on the People Team with the opportunity to make a tremendous impact on our Recruiting organization as we put systems, tools, programs, and processes in place and build meaningful relationships with top, early in career talent.

The incumbent will be an integral member of the People Team responsible for sourcing & pipelining, university recruiting, and early in career full-life cycle recruiting across all functional areas at CenturyTx.

As a member of the People Team, he/she will be an ambassador of the People Team and CenturyTx to all internal and external stakeholders, partners, and collaborators. He/she will be responsible for sourcing, talent pipelining, and talent selection to include screening, interviewing, background checks, offer negotiations as well as onboarding.

You will also be instrumental in evangelizing so we are looking for someone who has experience in multiple areas, and/or interest in learning about other areas of the People Team to which they haven't yet been exposed.
