Key Accounts Manager, Northeast

Corcept is leading the way in the research and development of cortisol modulators, molecules that regulate cortisol activity at the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). To date, we have discovered more than 1,000 selective proprietary cortisol modulators.

In 2012, we received FDA approval of Korlym® (mifepristone), the first approved treatment for hypercortisolism (Cushing’s syndrome).

Today, our team and collaborators continue to unlock the possibilities of cortisol modulation as a way to treat serious diseases. With more than 30 ongoing studies across a wide range of disease areas, including endocrinology, oncology, metabolism, and neurology, we remain dedicated to advancing the possibilities of cortisol modulation.

What began as a ripple of scientific truth is now poised to unleash a sea change of discovery representing a fundamental shift in the way we understand and treat disease.

The Key Accounts Manager will be responsible for developing and executing an ethical strategy to drive disease awareness, enhance institutional partnerships, and establish system-wide hypercortisolism screening protocols in targeted healthcare systems. This role focuses on pre-specified target healthcare systems specializing in the management of refractory cardio-metabolic diseases and/or hypercortisolism/Cushing syndrome (CS). Target physicians within these accounts include, but are not limited to, endocrinologists, diabetologists, cardiologists, neurosurgeons, endocrine surgeons, and interventional radiologists, as well as other staff supporting the care of patients with CS. Other targets include Informatics, Quality, Health Economics, and other roles within strategic operation leadership.
