CDS Graduate Program — Corporate Development & Strategy

Join us in revolutionizing immunology and delivering life-changing therapies for autoimmune patients. At argenx, we are entering a dynamic growth phase, driven by a strong pipeline of innovative treatments, including VYVGART, our pioneering Fc receptor blocker for gMG. With your help, we aim to expand our impact and bring relief to patients across various severe autoimmune diseases.

We're building a unique biotech company, one that preserves its start-up roots while innovating in every aspect of the business. At argenx, we inspire our teams, nurture partnerships, and foster a culture of creativity and growth, all to deliver more for patients.

About the CDS Graduate Program

Corporate Development & Strategy (CDS) helps define argenx's future, bring new opportunities into the company, and maximize the value created through our external partnerships and partner ecosystem. The CDS Graduate Program is crafted to nurture the next generation of talent who will operate at the intersection of science, strategy and partnerships, and to support argenx's 2030 vision.

The program is offered on a permanent contract, with the ambition that you continue your career in one of the four CDS teams after the rotations, and combines:

· A concrete project in each team. During every rotation you will own a project scoped with the host team, an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to their agenda, deliver a tangible outcome, and leave something behind before moving on to the next rotation.

· Rotational assignments. Experience the full CDS mandate through 4 rotations of 6 months across the Strategy, Business Development, Specialized Sourcing and Alliance Management teams. This hands-on approach lets you develop vital skills, gain broad exposure to how external opportunities are identified, evaluated, contracted and managed, and build a strong professional network inside and outside argenx.

As a CDS Graduate, you will contribute to real decisions from day one and gain a rare 360° view of how a growing biotech shapes its portfolio and its partner ecosystem, setting the stage for long-term career growth in our fast-paced environment. A dedicated mentor within CDS will guide and support you throughout the journey.

Role Overview

The CDS Graduate Program is designed as a two-way commitment: we invest in your development, and we expect you to bring energy, ideas and delivery in return. Across the program you will:

· Own a project per rotation. In each of the four teams you will take responsibility for a scoped project, delivering concrete outcomes that support the team's priorities.

· Contribute, not only learn. You are expected to bring a fresh, informed perspective, challenge the status quo constructively, propose your own ideas, and drive them forward with an entrepreneurial mindset.

· Grow through rotational learning. Four 6-month rotations in Strategy, Business Development, Specialized Sourcing and Alliance Management you start to build critical competencies and insights, supported by tailored training and development opportunities.

· Benefit from mentorship and sponsorship. Ongoing support from a dedicated CDS mentor and exposure to CDS leadership across all four teams throughout the program.

After the program

The rotational format is designed to help both you and CDS identify the best team-match. The clear expectation is that, at the end of the four rotations, you land in a permanent role within one of the four CDS teams, where your interests, strengths and the team's needs align. The program is the on-ramp; a long-term CDS career is the destination.

The four CDS teams you will rotate through

· Strategy: Helps answer some of argenx's most important questions: where should we play, how should we grow, and which opportunities will create the greatest impact for patients and shareholders. The team combines strategic analysis, portfolio insights and cross-functional collaboration to support decision-making and translate ambition into action.

· Business Development: Connects argenx to the external opportunities that will shape its next chapter of growth. The team identifies and evaluates innovative assets, technologies and partnerships, and works across the organization to execute transactions that strengthen the pipeline, create strategic options and deliver on the long-term vision.

· Specialized Sourcing: Helps argenx accelerate innovation by connecting our teams with the best external capabilities across development, manufacturing and research. The team develops sourcing strategies, identifies and selects strategic partners, and fosters high-performing collaborations that turn external partnerships into a competitive advantage.
