Our Culture
Performance-driven, team-focused, and thoughtful in our decision-making.
At Coherus Oncology, we take a purpose-driven approach to everything we do. Our purpose is to develop and deliver therapies that extend the lives of patients living with life-altering illnesses. With a purpose like that you know that with every decision we make, every milestone we are trying to hit, every challenge we are overcoming, we are keeping the well-being of patients in mind.
Coherus Oncology is a place where your ideas are valued, and you feel empowered to do your best every day. One of the most rewarding aspects of working at Coherus is the people — collaborative, intellectually curious, and genuinely supportive colleagues who work together with a shared commitment to scientific rigor and to improve patients’ lives.
One thing I admire about the Coherus culture is the company-wide appreciation that successful drug development is an incredibly complex team effort. It starts with a common passion for scientific innovation, but it also requires dedication and expertise in dozens of disciplines. Everyone’s input is valued and respected.
Coherus Oncology meets the immuno-oncology community where the needs are highest with innovation, scientific rigor and a high-quality, high-impact clinical development pipeline.
My experience in the past four years at Coherus has been highly rewarding. I enjoy cross-functional collaborations within the company that enable creative problem-solving and a greater sense of the big picture. Most importantly, I appreciate the open-door policy that fosters a healthy and well-balanced work environment.
Since starting with Coherus over ten years ago, I have changed roles several times as I’ve continued to grow in my career. It’s the type of place where you can wear multiple hats and get an understanding of how all the pieces of drug development and commercialization come together, which gave me the space to feel recognized and rewarded.
As Program Lead for toripalimab, the LOQTORZI approval was a profound moment for our company. LOQTORZI is the first FDA-approved immuno-oncology drug for the treatment of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) and knowing the impact on the quality of life that this medication will have for patients is extremely rewarding.
I feel proud and privileged being a part of the Coherus family for the past ten years, working alongside some amazing people. Managing payroll and equity is a big responsibility, and I am grateful for Coherus for giving me the opportunity to complete my CEP certification, so I can bring more value to this role.
Every day at Coherus brings a new challenge. The IT Team at Coherus gave me my first opportunity in the field, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I find it very rewarding that I get to put my educational background to use every day, whether it’s teaching our employees about best cybersecurity practices or solving problems for both hardware and software.
