Vice President, Talent Management

Position Summary

The Vice President, Talent Management is a transformational leader who will design, build and lead a best-in-class, full-lifecycle talent organization at a pivotal moment in our company's history. As we transition from a development-stage company to a commercial enterprise, this leader will serve as the architect of our talent strategy — ensuring we attract, develop, engage and retain the exceptional people needed to bring life-changing therapies to patients.
