No company description available.
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 Corcept Quality Systems Technology (QST) leader will have primary responsibility for evaluating Veeva Quality software projects and prioritizing the most critical projects for the QA department and Corcept. This role requires a strategic thinker who partners cross-functionally to achieve shared objectives, prioritizes and justifies software projects to meet objectives, and sets clear direction to get there. The leader should be comfortable leading complex system projects, support validation tasks as needed, and directly manage project execution while maintaining strategic oversight.
The leader should demonstrate the ability to translate business growth and rising complexity into a coherent software strategy, including a 2-year strategic framework that supports sustained growth and organizational maturity. Projects include new implementations, software enhancements, and other continual process improvements.
The role will support all of Corcept’s quality and GxP operations, leading cross-functional collaboration across teams with diverse and opposing priorities and aligning on the best path forward to achieve high-impact outcomes. Because QST supports all phases of clinical, manufacturing, and development operations, this individual will need to apply sound judgment in developing practical, risk-based, and phase-appropriate solutions.
This is a hybrid role that typically requires on-site presence three days per week.
