Remix Therapeutics•Watertown, MA

3d•$293,000 - $358,000

About The Position

Patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) have waited decades for a treatment option. At Remix Therapeutics, we intend to change that. We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that has pioneered a new class of small molecule medicines targeting the RNA splicing machinery — correcting the disease-causing errors that drive ACC and other serious conditions at their source. REM-422 is our lead program, currently in clinical evaluation for ACC and AML/HR-MDS, and it is at a critical inflection point. Remix is building the team to bring this novel molecule forward for patients. Position Summary: Remix is seeking an experienced, strategic and hands-on Vice President, Head of Commercial Operations to build and lead the company's Commercial Operations and Business Insights function, initially focused on REM-422. This executive will be accountable for forecasting, market research and competitive intelligence; commercial data and analytics; CRM and field technology; sales operations; incentive compensation; performance reporting; and the external partner ecosystem required to support launch. Reporting to the Chief Commercial Officer and partnering closely with the Head of Sales & Marketing, Head of Market Access, Finance, IT, Legal and Compliance, this leader will translate commercial strategy into disciplined operating plans, high-quality decisions and scalable execution. The successful candidate will pair strategic judgment with analytical depth and a willingness to work directly in the details - from patient-based forecasting and vendor selection to field force design, and dashboard development.
