Tempe, United States GT Medical Technologies, Inc. Full time
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionDescription:

The journey for a patient with a brain tumor is deeply emotional. Newly diagnosed patients often arrive at the emergency department due to changes in vision, balance, or cognitive function. Their world is quickly turned upside down as they race towards surgery. Unfortunately, many patients (~50% for glioblastomas) experience recurrence within a few months and, along with their dedicated family members and clinicians, must navigate treatment options once again. It has been over a decade since an innovative treatment option was cleared by the FDA—until GammaTile® Therapy


GT Medical™ Technologies exists to provide a better option for these patients, caregivers, and clinicians. Guided by our Shared Values of Empathy, Empowerment, and Excellence, we strive to make a meaningful difference. Our Corporate Purpose is to Improve the Lives of Patients with Brain Tumors, and this mission drives us daily.


GammaTile® Therapy is supported by over 100 incredible teammates who collaborate organically, challenge appropriately, and are consumed with helping the next patient. With a goal growth rate of over 30% per year in orders, revenue, and clinical trial enrollments, our progress is encouraging, and we are aiming for even better results this year. We have a great core team, an innovative solution, and the resources to support further growth.


We are now seeking a Contracts & Intellectual Property Manager to add to our growing team. This individual will ideally be in the Mid-West or East Coast area and available to work remotely as well as travel to our clinical sites as needed. If you have a heart for patients with brain tumors, the passion for clinical research, and a strong balance of strategy and tactical execution, we’d love to talk to you
