Revolution Medicines is a clinical‑stage precision oncology company focused on developing novel targeted therapies to inhibit frontier targets in RAS‑addicted cancers. The company’s R&D pipeline consists of RAS(ON) Inhibitors designed to suppress diverse oncogenic variants of RAS proteins, and RAS Companion Inhibitors for use in combination treatment strategies. As a new member of the Revolution Medicines team, you will join other outstanding Revolutionaries in a tireless commitment to patients with cancers harboring mutations in the RAS signaling pathway.
Opportunity We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Vice President of Safety Surveillance to join our dynamic team. The Vice President of Safety Surveillance is a senior executive responsible for the leadership, oversight, strategy, and execution of a portfolio of pharmacovigilance (PV) processes supporting both development and post‑market pharmacovigilance requirements. In particular, the release of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) Good Pharmacovigilance Practice (GVP) Modules has increased requirements for sponsors to maintain inspection‑ready processes and procedures that address risk management, aggregate reporting, signal detection, and benefit‑risk assessment.
