Job description

The Company We are Alloy Therapeutics —a biotechnology ecosystem company empowering the global scientific community to make better medicines together.

Through a community of partners, we democratize access to pre-competitive tools, technologies, services, and company creation capabilities that are foundational for discovering and developing therapeutic biologics.

The company facilitates affordable, non-exclusive access to the entire drug discovery community from academic scientists, small and medium biotech, to the largest biopharma.

At Alloy, we believe our industry should compete on getting the best drugs to patients as quickly as possible, not exclusive access to the best platforms.

As a reflection of our relentless commitment to the scientific community, we reinvest 100% of our revenue in innovation and access to innovation.

MAY THE BEST DRUG WIN.

Alloy is headquartered in Waltham, MA with additional labs in Cambridge, UK; Basel, Switzerland, and Athens, GA.

Successful members thrive in our shared culture of accountability, deliberate trust, and open communication.

As a team we aspire to work together to exceed expectations and collectively contribute across the global organization to always maintain our nimble, startup culture.
