Imagine building a company that puts the patient at the center of health, healthcare, and drug discovery. PatientsLikeMe is that company. The Manager of Business Development is a free thinker. Someone who understands what it takes to get the right deal done. Someone with perspective who will take the initiative to help create the business model for a health 2.0 company with high ethics and corporate values.
With these values in mind, we attempt to match the needs of our patients with the goals of our partners. We must embrace a high ethical standard because patients share data with us that would historically be held private—not just for their own benefit, but for that of others. Since they’re selfless, we must consider that selflessness when we enter into potential partnerships. If it doesn’t feel right, it’s not right. We need someone who believes this is the right way to build the company.
