Who We Are

Cogent Biosciences is a publicly traded biotechnology company developing real solutions to treat genetically driven diseases. With a focus on rational drug discovery and development, we are leveraging validated biology to advance precision therapies designed to address the true underlying drivers of disease and provide real hope for patients. Cogent’s lead therapeutic candidate, bezuclastinib (CGT9486), is a precision kinase inhibitor designed to selectively and potently inhibit the KIT D816V mutation. This mutation is responsible for driving a rare and serious condition called Systemic Mastocytosis (SM), which can severely impact many different tissues and organs in the body. We are also studying CGT9486 to treat advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), which have a strong dependence on oncogenic KIT signaling. We are currently enrolling two Phase 2 clinical trials for patients with SM and a global Phase 3 trial for GIST patients.

The Role:

The successful candidate will be responsible for supporting all aspects of clinical trial management for a novel precision kinase inhibitor in rare disease. This role will provide a lot of opportunities to make substantial contributions to this complex and novel treatment paradigm.

Cogent is a growing clinical-stage biopharma company seeking Clinical Operations Professionals who strive in a fast-paced environment.  The CTM role will support an ongoing global Ph2 study for patients suffering from Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis.  We are looking for someone who can bring significant capability to deliver on the operational needs of the role, while bringing a thoughtful perspective, drive for results, collaborative approach, and the ability to work with, influence, and communicate with a variety of stakeholders.
