Regeneron Pharmaceuticals jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

Regeneron invents, develops, and sells medicines for serious diseases. Its site names eye disease, cancer, heart disease, neurology, and rare disease as the areas it works in, and counts 16 approved or authorized medicines. Two named platforms carry the work: VelociSuite, which makes human antibodies, and the Regeneron Genetics Center. Physician-scientists founded the company and still lead it.

What they value

• Science as the starting point, stated as the power of science to bring new medicines to patients.
• Original thinking, which the careers site names as its description of the team.
• Working on site, which most postings require for three or four days a week.
• Regulatory discipline, named in postings as GxP, viral control, and safety surveillance.
• Deep subject knowledge, because postings name a disease area rather than a general skill.

Where they hire

Of 529 postings, the largest single site is Hyderabad in India, with 51. The American sites are Tarrytown in New York, which is the global headquarters campus, plus Armonk, Rensselaer, and Sleepy Hollow. Ireland holds Limerick and Dublin. Other postings sit in Uxbridge, Madrid, Munich, Paris, Amsterdam, and Tokyo. Field sales roles cover many American states.

What they look for

Postings state the work pattern first and the requirements second. The corporate strategy posting asks for a bachelor's degree, five or more years in consulting, equity research, investment banking, or biopharmaceutical strategy, and financial modeling in Excel. The senior associate scientist posting asks for a bachelor's degree in biology or a related field and three to six years of hands-on immunoassay work under GxP rules. The virology posting asks for ownership of a viral safety program in a manufacturing plant and contact with regulators. The field medical affairs posting asks for a thorough understanding of B-cell malignancies and travel about 70 per cent of the time. The device engineering posting asks for early-stage device design and cross-functional project management.
