Join team Rocket

The Rocket team is a creative, compassionate and driven group of people pushing the boundaries of gene therapy to create potentially curative medicines for rare, inherited diseases. At Rocket we’re truly committed to keeping the patients in mind throughout everything we do, from designing first in human clinical trials so that they’re as accessible as possible to patients and their families, to organizing patient-centered events like our annual Rare Disease Day.

We are growing fast and always looking for passionate and inspiring team members to join us on our quest for gene therapy cures.

Along with a team of great people and a strong set of values, Rocket also brings cutting-edge science and expertise to the table. We work to create treatments ideally suited to the disease we are targeting and select the most appropriate gene therapy methods to maximize outcomes for the patients we treat.

Rocket provides a family environment that celebrates work-life integration. Our goal is simple—to treat each patient with the highest quality product as if he or she were our loved one. Our team is focused on elevating science, patient care, each other and humanity.

Please explore the open positions.
