Senior Project Manager

Our Purpose

Science & Purpose is a full-service agency that brings deeper meaning to science. We were launched from Patients & Purpose in 2021—building on a passion for patient health with a unified focus on both patient and HCP communications. We work to create a deeper understanding of science, deeper connections with brands, and ultimately, a deeper impact on health outcomes for all.

Who We’re Looking For:

We are building an inclusive culture of solution seekers, collaborators, and creators—all of whom possess an entrepreneurial spirit and curiosity. We are excited to shape the future of Science & Purpose with individuals who are energized by possibility and opportunity, and who are equally obsessed with having a core role in bringing the power of science to more patients and HCPs.
