Vice President of Impact (Strategic Marketing, Engagement, and Access)
Every Cure is an AI-driven nonprofit, biotech organization on a mission to save and improve lives by repurposing existing medicines for diseases with significant unmet need. We are working to create a world where every drug is used to treat every disease it possibly can, so that no patient suffers when an existing treatment could help them. We are filling a gap left by the current biomedical system, which doesn't systematically pursue new uses for old drugs. Through artificial intelligence technologies, collaboration with healthcare professionals, and patient advocacy, Every Cure is dedicated to unlocking the full potential of existing medicines to treat every disease and every patient we possibly can. Led by a talented leadership team and an outstanding Board of Directors, Every Cure is supported through funding from leading philanthropic organizations like Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, TED's Audacious Project, and ARPA-H.
Every Cure is seeking a bold, strategic, and mission-driven Vice President of Impact (Strategic Marketing, Engagement, and Access) to lead our integrated efforts across marketing, communications, and strategic dissemination. This pivotal role ensures that the repurposed treatments we discover reach the people who need them most. As the essential link between scientific innovation and real-world implementation, the Vice President of Impact will drive strategies that translate breakthroughs into awareness, access, and drug utilization. At the heart of our mission is a singular goal: to ensure that no effective treatment remains unused when it could save or improve a life. This leader will ensure that repurposed drugs are not only discovered but understood, embraced, and deployed across healthcare systems worldwide.
The Vice President of Impact will work cross-functionally to build and execute comprehensive dissemination and impact strategies for high-priority drug repurposing opportunities, with the goal of maximizing the number of patient lives saved and improved. This includes developing a marketing and communications strategy that elevates Every Cure's brand and mobilizes a broad range of stakeholders, as well as overseeing relationships with regulators and payors - managing submissions and navigating regulatory requirements for label changes.
