Marketing Director

PhaseV, Cambridge, MA, United States


One Broadway, 11th floor, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA

About PhaseV PhaseV is a Boston-based technology company that redefines clinical development at scale with its enterprise-ready, multi-modal AI/ML platform — accelerating decisions, de-risking trials, and driving more efficient portfolio strategies. With over $65M raised from Accel, Insight, and others, we are poised to make a significant impact on how drugs are developed and brought to market.

Trusted by 45+ pharmaceutical sponsors and CROs, our causal AI technology identifies responder subgroups with greater precision, optimizes trial designs, life cycle management, site selection, and monitors trial performance in real-time to help bring treatments to patients faster.

The Role We're hiring our first dedicated marketer to lead our marketing strategy in support of our continued growth. This is a rare opportunity to continue to architect our brand presence and dramatically expand PhaseV’s share of voice.
