Job Description

Director, Global Value Access & Strategy, povetacicept

Location : Boston, MA (3 days onsite, 2 days remote weekly)

Vertex operates at the forefront of scientific innovation and has successfully developed and commercialized multiple breakthrough medicines for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) as well as Casgevy, a gene therapy for sickle cell disease and beta‑thalassemia. Vertex has more than a dozen ongoing research programs focused on the underlying mechanisms of other serious diseases including programs in Pain, APOL‑1 mediated kidney disease (AMKD), and cell therapies for Type 1 diabetes, among others.

Povetacicept is a highly potent and effective dual antagonist of BAFF and APRIL pathways with potential best‑in‑class efficacy in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and primary membranous nephropathy (pMN). IgAN is a serious, progressive, autoimmune disease of the kidney that can lead to end‑stage‑renal disease. There are no approved therapies that target the underlying cause of IgAN. IgAN is the most common cause of primary (idiopathic) glomerulonephritis worldwide. Due to its mechanism of action as a dual BAFF / APRIL antagonist, povetacicept holds the potential to benefit patients for multiple serious diseases including other autoimmune kidney diseases and autoimmune cytopenias.
