Oncology Account Manager

Company Profile :

At Verastem Oncology, we're advancing innovation and addressing the urgent needs of patients living with cancers driven by RAS / MAPK pathway mutations, a key driver of tumor growth and treatment resistance. The FDA approval of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK delivered the first therapy specifically for women living with recurrent KRAS-mutated low-grade serous ovarian cancer, a rare cancer with significant unmet need. We've successfully launched this innovative combination therapy in the U.S. and are exploring regulatory pathways for Europe and Japan. We are continuing to advance our pipeline of drugs that we believe will help block cancer cell survival, inhibit tumor growth, and overcome treatment resistance. With clinical trials underway, we have an exciting opportunity to shape the future of cancer care and make a meaningful impact in the lives of patients.
