Sera Medicines is a biologics-focused accelerator advancing next-generation protein therapeutics for patients with immune and inflammatory diseases. Backed by RA Capital, the organisation creates and launches innovative biotech companies, supporting programmes through key milestones before spinning them out into independent businesses, including Climb Bio and Navigator Medicines.
Having previously partnered with the founders before the launch of Sera Medicines, SciPro was selected as a long-term talent partner to support the growth of both the accelerator and its expanding portfolio of biotech companies.
The organisation needed to build specialist leadership and technical teams across Clinical Development, Regulatory Affairs, Manufacturing, CMC, Clinical Operations, Finance and Programme Management. With multiple businesses growing simultaneously, Sera Medicines required a recruitment partner capable of delivering senior-level talent at pace while providing the flexibility needed by high-growth biotech organisations.
SciPro established a strategic talent partnership with Sera Medicines through a co-retained recruitment model, providing dedicated support across both the accelerator and its portfolio companies.
Working closely with senior leadership, we delivered market mapping, executive search and specialist talent acquisition across a broad range of scientific, clinical and operational disciplines. By acting as an extension of the internal talent acquisition team, SciPro provided consistent market insight, proactive candidate engagement and strategic hiring support throughout the organisations' growth.
As the partnership evolved, SciPro continued supporting hiring across Sera Medicines, Climb Bio and Navigator Medicines, helping each business secure the talent needed to achieve its next stage of growth.
Over an 18-month partnership, SciPro delivered:
"SciPro helped us hire our very first full-time employee and has partnered with us on more than 30 searches since, covering everything from pharmacology to finance. Their understanding of the market, accountability and communication have been exceptional throughout. They have always been transparent, flexible and a trusted partner as we've grown. We look forward to continuing our partnership for many years to come."
