ABOUT THE ROLE

We are building out our founding commercial team and looking to make a few key hires to anchor the effort. You will help set the terms and drive deal execution with the world's leading life sciences companies, establishing relationships that will shape our future.

This is a critical role at a pivotal time for the business: Deal volume and demand are accelerating fast. It will be a lot of fun, a lot of work, and extraordinarily impactful and rewarding.

ABOUT YOU

We value biopharma domain experience and deal-making savvy, and we are also more than willing to make a bet on rising talent. Low-ego, high-EQ, motivated and mission-driven is what we're looking for.
