Director, Market Access Strategy & Marketing<br/><br/>Full-time
Work Type: Full time
Job Location: Hybrid: Waltham
Deciphera Pharmaceuticalsis a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on improving the lives of cancer patients by tackling key mechanisms of drug resistance that limit the rate and/or durability of response to existing cancer therapies. Our small molecule drug candidates are directed against an important family of enzymes called kinases, known to be directly involved in the growth and spread of many cancers. We use our deep understanding of kinase biology together with a proprietary chemistry library to purposefully design compounds that maintain kinases in a “switched off” or inactivated conformation. These investigational therapies comprise tumor-targeted agents designed to address therapeutic resistance causing mutations and immuno-targeted agents designed to control the activation of immunokinases that suppress critical immune system regulators, such as macrophages. We have used our platform to develop a diverse pipeline of tumor-targeted and immuno-targeted drug candidates designed to improve outcomes for patients with cancer by improving the quality, rate and/or durability of their responses to treatment.
We offer an outstanding culture and opportunity for personal and professional growth based on these key principles:
providing a collaborative, energized and fun work environment where people are empowered and supported in the achievement of their career goals
a diverse and multi-disciplinary workforce
dedicated and talented people who are passionate about achieving excellence in all they do
a work environment that allows you to balance your priorities
above all else, a commitment to the patients we serve
