Careers at AltaThera Pharmaceuticals

Our work is grounded in a combination of clinical insight, scientific rigor, and agile execution so that we can deliver improved patient outcomes.

Having the right team is critical to our success in achieving this — which is why hire people who embody our values.

Our Values

We foster a team with a set of values that drive our company’s mission forward. We define success by how effectively we translate these values into meaningful improvements in patient lives.

Humble

We are proud of and celebrate our accomplishments but always remember we are part of a team. We are self-aware, admit mistakes and respect others. We support and care for our customers and team members in a collaborative way.

Hungry

We focus on achievement and impact over activity or process. We have a sense of purpose and aim to exceed the highest expectations and continuously improve both as individuals and as part of our team. We push for more and bring energy and focus to the team.

Authentic

We act with high integrity, taking responsibility for our actions and fulfilling commitments. We are honest, transparent and always compliant. We communicate our real thoughts and ideas so that real action can be taken.

Adaptable

We are willing and able to adjust our ideas, behaviors, and skills to effectively handle new situations and changes as they occur. We view challenges as opportunities rather than a threats and proactively evolve ourselves and our team to face them.

Persistent

We don’t give up. We are tenacious, persevering, relentless, and determined. We try and try again, identifying new and better ways to achieve our goals.

People Smart

We actively listen and try to understand others’ feelings and perspectives. We put effort into our communications to ensure we are being understood while building, maintaining, and strengthening connections with others. We strive to reduce friction and increase understanding between each other and those we serve.

Intellectually Curious

We possess a deep, persistent desire to learn, to understand “why” things are the way they are, and explore beyond surface-level information. Our mindset embraces lifelong learning, actively seeking new knowledge, and enjoying complex problem-solving rather than settling for the status quo.

Culture and Benefits

We’re leading an era of innovative therapies to address important, under-served conditions. We enable this by creating a culture where diverse ideas, backgrounds, and experiences are celebrated. We’re continually striving to foster an environment where you can do your best work.

Benefits

We offer comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, disability, and vision insurance. We also have 401(k) plans with company matching, flexible PTO, and other benefits. Employees at our corporate headquarters in Chicago receive a gym membership and monthly CTA/Metra reimbursement.

Our Work Environment

Our company is fast-moving and fast-growing, and there is potential for significant career growth for motivated individuals. We offer the opportunity for employees to fully utilize their skills, to make a difference, and to change lives.
