Senior Manager / Associate Director, Accounting (Berkeley Heights)

Senior Manager/Associate Director of Accounting About Kalaris Kalaris Therapeutics is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of treatments for prevalent retinal diseases with major unmet medical needs. Kalaris’ lead asset, TH103, was developed by Lasker Award winner, Dr. Napoleone Ferrara, a pioneer in the field of VEGF research, and the inventor of Lucentis and Avastin during his time at Genentech. TH103 is a novel, clinical stage anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drug, specifically engineered to achieve extended intraocular retention with enhanced VEGF inhibition in patients with exudative and/or neovascular retinal diseases. In head-to-head preclinical studies, TH103 showed more anti-VEGF activity and longer duration of activity compared to aflibercept, the current market-leading anti-VEGF agent. In a Phase 1a single ascending dose trial, TH103 was generally well tolerated and showed a potent anti-VEGF effect on functional and anatomical outcomes at 1-month post-dosing. Single dose durability signals, including pharmacokinetic analysis and retreatment results, suggest that TH103 may offer extended treatment durability outcomes after a standard four-dose loading regimen. Kalaris is currently enrolling a Phase 1b/2 Multiple Ascending Dose trial of TH103 in patients with nAMD, to help assess the safety and efficacy of repeat TH103 administration and to inform dose selection for potential Phase 3 development. Kalaris’ board of directors, management team and investors include co-founders, scientists and leaders and investors from companies that have played pivotal roles in developing retina therapeutics. About nAMD nAMD is a leading cause of blindness in the United States and Europe that affected an estimated 1.6 million adults in the United States in 2024. Over the past 20 years, anti-VEGF therapeutics have revolutionized the treatment of prevalent exudative and/or neovascular retinal diseases, which represented an estimated $15 billion global branded market in 2024. While clinical trials for these drugs have shown improvements in mean visual acuity, these results often are not reproduced in real-world settings. Many patients find the treatment burden to be challenging because it requires a demanding schedule of clinic visits and years of monitoring and treatments. This onerous treatment burden can lead to a lack of adherence to the frequent visit regimen and a decline in vision after initial gains. - Kalaris is seeking a Senior Manager or Associate Director of Accounting to join its growing Finance team.

Paralegal Analyst (New York)

Balestriere Law Firm is seeking a paralegal-legal analyst for immediate hire who wants the best training you can get before law school if you want to be a trial lawyer. We seek recent college graduates to make a commitment of at least a year and a half through at least May 2028. Please do not apply if you cannot commit to this time period. This is a full time, business hours, in-office position. There is overtime. There can be weekend work; there will be weekend work if you're on trial, have a major filing, or must address a significant client emergency. We want those who interested in increasing responsibility during their time at the firm, doing work that actually matters, growing and learning as our firm grows, ready to be on teams and take direction, but also able to take initiative and get through the day without being told every task to perform. You will have a huge amount of freedom and autonomy to do your work, but at the same time will have to be ready to have your schedule during work hours taken over by having to jump in, without notice, on work at the direction of lawyers from straightforward tasks such as being on a previously unplanned call, to shifting gears entirely and throwing yourself into a new case. No education beyond college is needed. Prior writing experience helps, but if you're a good writer we'll make you a great one. Being careful is essential. Being organized and liking rules means this job and this profession may be for you. Flexibility is key. You will learn a ton, but you have to be ready to take the initiative to do all you can to teach yourself under the supervision of highly experienced trial lawyers, besides whom you'll work on complicated cases that matter. If you want this position be ready to work hard, grow, have fun, do justice, and serve clients. KEY FEATURES OF THIS ATYPICAL POST-COLLEGE, PRE-LAW SCHOOL POSITION Analysts work very closely with one another as well as our lawyers on all aspects of our very diverse array of disputes and investigations, and in all parts of running our firm as a business. This is not a typical paralegal position. It is not for everyone. You will not be coddled. You will have real responsibility. We handle highly complex, very sensitive matters at our small practice, in courts and arbitrations in New York and around the country, for clients from all around the world. We cannot do what we do for our clients without great, committed analysts who own their work and want to do a great job with their colleagues, both on cases, and ensuring our success as a business. There are regular touch-base meetings and other protocols we follow, but it is hard to describe a typical week or day. We do what is needed working together to win for clients. You will matter at this firm - to your colleagues and to firm clients - so we require at least two full months' notice (absent exigent circumstances) before you move on which we will help you to do however we can. To that end, please keep in mind that we do not favor those leaving any employment position less than 12 months after working in such position so if you do apply please be prepared to explain why you are leaving your present position within a year of starting work. TRAINING Development of analysts in the law is baked in to the job. There is some organized training including weekly meetings on the first day of the week when junior staff share what they have learned with senior staff commenting, generally weekly training lunches regarding a topic of present concern, and a few times a year when we have day long training sessions to tighten our practices. However, most training is done by the constant back and forth of working with senior lawyers on all kinds of trial matters. This includes discussion after key events (such as a hearing or a large filing) of what we did well and how we can improve, but also near daily revision of documents, and frequent discussion at daily case meetings of the work we do. START DATE IS WITHIN WEEKS Please note: we do mean immediate hire we would like someone to begin with us in the next few weeks. Please keep this in mind if you do not live locally. NOT FOR LAWYERS Please further note: if you have a law degree of any kind, whether from the United States or overseas you are not a good fit for this position. Please do not apply if you are in law school, have a J.D., or have an LL.M . __________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR FIRM AND THE POSITION Balestriere is a trials and investigations law firm. Our firm serves businesses, institutions, and individuals involved in disputes around the world.

Application Process Please apply initially through LinkedIn. If we are interested in an interview we shall message you to set up a video meeting and at that time ask you to email your resume (even if you have sent it previously), writing samples, and a list of references. We shall not immediately contact references. If we proceed through the process we shall then ask you to come into our office space (please note we do not provide reimbursement for any travel) to meet with multiple staff. After an initial in office meeting, and perhaps a second office meeting with further staff, we will ask to speak with your three references (and we prefer employer, rather than school, references) whom we will contact.

Senior UX Designer (UX/UI/Brand) (Remote, US-Based, Contractor) (Frederick)

Remote - US-based / Flexible ET hours Lead complex experience design work from strategy through execution, shaping products and journeys that remove friction, build trust, and drive measurable outcomes for our clients. Extraordinary brands are built by extraordinary designers. Variate is looking for a Senior Product Experience Designer to lead high-impact digital experiences for ambitious global brands. This is not a generalist UX role. You will own outcomes, turn complexity into clarity, and design experiences that customers feel and businesses can measure. If you have mastered your craft, operate with high accountability, and want your work judged by real-world impact, we want to meet you. This is a hybrid, US-based role with collaboration during Eastern Time working hours. You will report to a Design Director who values speed, clarity, and measurable results. What You Will Do Own the outcome - Lead major design initiatives from discovery to delivery. Define what success looks like, align teams around it, and deliver against clear business and customer metrics. Raise the bar - Set design standards that elevate entire teams. Every flow, component, and presentation reflects purpose, precision, and intent. Design for growth - Create experiences that convert, retain, and inspire. You measure your work in adoption, lift, and outcomes, not aesthetics. Collaborate as a peer - Work directly with senior strategists, product leaders, engineers, founders, and executives. No layers of account management. Mastery is expected, not coached. Move fast with discipline - Use AI as a force multiplier to accelerate exploration, synthesize insight, and compress delivery timelines without sacrificing quality. What You Bring Proven excellence - 5 years in UX or product design with clear, measurable business impact. Master-level Figma - Deep expertise in systems, tokens, prototyping, and clean, scalable file architecture. Strategic insight - A strong understanding of user motivation, business context, and how decisions actually get made. Executive presence - Clear, confident, and persuasive communication with senior stakeholders. You can defend decisions and lead the room. Uncompromising standards - You expect excellence from yourself and others and hold yourself accountable for outcomes. What Sets You Apart You have built or scaled a design system that improved speed, consistency, or adoption. You have led workshops that shaped product or business strategy. You have mentored other designers to operate at a higher level. You have partnered with a well-known national brand, global brand, or respected design agency to drive measurable impact. What Success Looks Like in the First 90 Days Lead at least one end-to-end client engagement with clear, measurable lift. Present work directly to senior client stakeholders with confidence and authority. Improve an existing system, flow, or design process with visible, documented impact. Who Should Not Apply This role is not for everyone. Do not apply if: You cannot demonstrate every prerequisite listed above. You need heavy direction before acting. Your portfolio focuses on visual polish without proof of impact. Your portfolio focuses on UX rigor without visual polish. You have never owned a measurable outcome such as conversion, adoption, or retention. Your case studies rely on templates or end at “we improved the experience.” Your portfolio opens with wireframes or generic dashboards. You prefer comfort over challenge or feedback over accountability. You are still learning the fundamentals. Variate is where experts come to perform. Why Variate Variate designs customer experiences that remove hesitation and create confident decisions. We partner with ambitious brands such as Marriott, Carnival, Stanley Black & Decker, and Amerant Bank to transform complexity into clarity and decisions into measurable growth. We care deeply about the people we work with. Our culture balances high standards with genuine support, creating an environment where designers grow faster, perform stronger, and feel seen for their mastery. This is an opportunity to work with a deeply experienced team that partners directly with visionary leaders across startups, growth-stage innovators, and Fortune 500 brands. Our clients choose Variate for our precision, pace, and partnership. We operate as an extension of their teams—trusted, embedded, and focused on outcomes that matter. Every engagement demands excellence and rewards it in equal measure. Interview Selection Criteria We hire one designer for every thousand who apply because excellence requires focus. If you are that one, we want to hear from you. 1. Portfolio quality Your portfolio is the primary signal. We are looking for clear evidence of ownership, decision-making, and measurable impact. Work should demonstrate both UX rigor and strong visual execution, with outcomes clearly articulated. 2. Background experience Your professional background matters, particularly experience operating at a senior level in high-expectation environments. Prior experience at a respected design agency or consultancy is highly valued, as it demonstrates comfort with pace, accountability, and complex client work. We review portfolios first. Experience reinforces the signal. Neither compensates for the absence of the other. We created a cheat sheet to help your portfolio stand out. https://variate.com/perspective/1000-portfolios-1-designer Compensation Contract: $70–$85hr Consistent long-term contract work with contract-to-hire possibility NO RECRUITERS!
