Manager, Life Sciences Partnerships
Flatiron Research was founded in 2014 with the goal of serving cancer patients by accelerating research. We believe that existing clinical research paradigms are ill-equipped to answer the research questions that face drug developers, academic researchers, and regulators in the oncology space today. By focusing on technology solutions that can be deployed widely across the Flatiron network of providers, Flatiron Research has the opportunity to generate insights that were previously impossible.
Today, Flatiron Research is focused on innovating in the Real-World Evidence (RWE) and Clinical Trials space. Our technology-first approach has allowed us to build RWE data sets with higher quality, accuracy, recency, and scale than any other cancer data that is available. We have active partnerships with top-tier academic medical centers, the top 15 oncology biopharma companies, the FDA, and most recently the NCI, all focused on using data to accelerate the research and treatment of cancer. The Life Sciences Partnerships team supports our biopharma partners in advancing their research priorities using Flatiron Research offerings.
This team is looking for individuals with a deep understanding of the healthcare industry, an analytical approach to problem solving, and client management and organizational skills who is highly motivated by being part of a cross-functional team focused on transformational change in the area of cancer research. We are looking for candidates for both our NYC and SF offices.
