Revolution Medicines is a global, commercial-state oncology company dedicated to discovering, developing and delivering innovative medicines for patients with R-addicted cancers. Leveraging its differentiated RAS(ON) tri-complex inhibitor platform, the company is advancing a broad, integrated portfolio of oral RAS(ON) inhibitors designed to directly target the active, cancer-driving state of RAS. Founded on rigorous scientific inquiry and a willingness to challenge long-held assumptions, Revolution Medicines is committed to changing the trajectory of disease for patients with R-addicted cancers worldwide.

Our people are united by a shared way of working: follow the science, challenge assumptions, act with urgency and hold ourselves to a high standard of rigor—all in service of patients.

The Opportunity

As an Associate Director in the Cancer Pharmacology team within the Translational Research group, in the Biomedical Discovery Research Department, you will:

  • Provide scientific and strategic leadership for RAS(ON) inhibitor programs by translating mechanistic insights in RAS biology into impactful pharmacology strategies and translational study plans.
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing group of in-vivo scientists, fostering scientific excellence, innovation, and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Drive the design, execution, and interpretation of in-vivo efficacy and PK/PD studies conducted internally and through external partners to advance oncology discovery and development programs.
  • Partner closely with the cross-functional quantitative modeling group to provide biological insight, translational context, and critical evaluation supporting PK/PD modeling efforts.
  • Influence portfolio progression through generation of high-impact data packages and contributions to regulatory submissions.
  • Serve as the in-vivo pharmacology expert on cross-functional project teams, partnering closely with colleagues in Chemistry, Discovery Biology, DMPK, and Toxicology to build cohesive preclinical data sets.
  • Communicate scientific strategy, key findings, and program recommendations to cross-functional teams and senior leadership to drive informed decision making.
