Kymera Therapeutics is seeking a Head of Investor Relations to lead the strategy and development of our investor relations department, develop and refine external messaging, and drive continued investor and analyst awareness of, and confidence in, our vision and strategies for delivering continued shareholder value over the long-term. Reporting to the CFO, this position will work closely with the Executive Team to ensure the company is strategically positioned with analysts, investors, and stakeholders. This individual will lead planning and develop content for key announcements and disclosures, including quarterly financial results and corporate conference calls.

Kymera Therapeutics is a publicly listed, clinical stage biotechnology company pioneering the field of targeted protein degradation (TPD) to bring life-changing medicines to patients that need them. Kymera’s Pegasus™ TPD platform harnesses the body’s natural protein recycling machinery to degrade disease-causing proteins, with a focus on undrugged nodes in validated pathways currently inaccessible with conventional therapeutics.

Kymera is rapidly advancing four clinical stage programs in oncology and immunology, and is positioned to deliver one additional Investigational New Drug Applications (IND) annually. We are also actively advancing a broad pipeline of preclinical programs where TPD has the potential to provide a best-in-class approach, both internally and in collaboration with our partners Sanofi and Vertex Pharmaceuticals.
