TB Alliance is the recognized leader in accelerating the development and adoption of urgently needed new anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs.   The transformative BPaL/M regimens have become the gold standard for drug-resistant TB treatment, available at affordable pricing in more than 150 countries worldwide and approved by regulatory agencies in 28 countries.

TB continues to cause more deaths worldwide than any other infectious disease and disproportionately impacts marginalized populations as the disease is concentrated in lower- and middle-income countries and in patient populations in the lowest economic strata.  The World Health Organization (WHO) reports an estimated patient population of 10 million annually with active TB, of which 410,000 have drug-resistant forms of the disease. In addition, over 1.5 billion people are infected with the TB bacillus, forming the reservoir for the development of active TB.

Despite the high degree of unmet need worldwide, lack of commercial viability severely limits commercial interest in this disease area and treatment improvements are largely dependent on financial subsidization through public sector and private sector funding. TB Alliance was established to fulfill the need for greatly improved TB treatment, deploying a unique not-for-profit operating model characterized by a small core of highly experienced internal staff with capabilities extending across the Research & Development spectrum through to achieving widespread access to improved TB drugs.   The TB Alliance has a global footprint and an annual operating budget of approximately $100 million, including ~$45M in negotiated leverage funding.

As part of our overall compensation package, we offer a competitive salary, comprehensive health benefits, generous retirement contributions, and work/life flexibility designed to support employees and their immediate family. Starting salary is expected to be in the range of US$110,000 – $138,000 exact salary will be commensurate with skills and experience and adjusted to reflect local currency for candidates outside the US.
