What makes us special?
We have a unique culture that takes a scientific approach to solving problems and places value on creative solutions and personal growth and development. Every person and every idea matters.
More than a job
Vertex employees are supported along their professional journeys and have the opportunity to grow and thrive in an inclusive and equitable environment that rewards and recognises the moments that matter. We want to support your career from the beginning and along every step of the way, and we offer career growth and development opportunities regardless of your role or experience level.
To achieve our best, most meaningful work and deliver on our promise to patients, we need to be our best selves. That’s why we also offer industry-leading benefits and compensation to support our employees, their loved ones and our communities.

Promoting a culture of belonging
Our ability to develop transformative medicines for people with serious diseases requires a culture that enables all Vertexians to feel a sense of belonging and commitment to each other and our mission.
This involves not only recruiting, retaining and developing talented employees from a diverse range of backgrounds, but also investing to make sure they feel supported, valued and free to bring their unique perspectives to the table. Cultivating such an environment will allow us to challenge conventional thinking, enhance creativity and problem-solving, identify innovative solutions, and address the complex, multi-faceted problems we face in discovering and developing transformative medicines. Our culture is rooted in the premise that if our employees feel a sense of belonging and commitment, they will do their best work for Vertex and for patients.
We expect all Vertexians to help foster our culture and be respectful of each other. To support this work, we engage in activities and programming, including dedicated trainings, resources and forums, that promote our culture and values.

Seeking bright minds
We’re always seeking talented individuals who want to play a role in discovering and developing tomorrow’s breakthrough — at any stage of their education or career.
