Vice President of Finance

Company Profile

At Verastem Oncology, our purpose is to create a world where no cancer patient ever runs out of options. This commitment is central to who we are as a company and the culture we nurture. We are laser focused in our efforts to establish avutometinib + defactinib as the backbone of therapy for RAS-mediated tumors. We look for people who share our perspective; when others see only a problem, we see an opportunity, when others give up, we step up. We partner with global leaders (and their teams!) and these relationships help us to serve the patients who need us most. We appreciate your candidacy for the Verastem Oncology team, and encourage you to learn more at www.verastem.com.
