Job Description

Revolution Medicines is a global, commercial-state oncology company dedicated to discovering, developing and delivering innovative medicines for patients with RAS-addicted cancers. Leveraging its differentiated RAS(ON) tri-complex inhibitor platform, the company is advancing a broad, integrated portfolio of oral RAS(ON) inhibitors designed to directly target the active, cancer-driving state of RAS. Founded on rigorous scientific inquiry and a willingness to challenge long-held assumptions, Revolution Medicines is committed to changing the trajectory of disease for patients with RAS-addicted cancers worldwide.

Our people are united by a shared way of working: follow the science, challenge assumptions, act with urgency and hold ourselves to a high standard of rigor—all in service of patients.

The Opportunity:

As a Director, Molecular Pathology, you will be a key member of a cross-functional Translational Sciences Team, reporting to the Senior Director and Head of Translational Sciences within Translational Research and will:

  • Biomarker Strategy: Define and execute molecular and digital pathology-driven biomarker strategies.

  • Integration of Advanced Modalities: Lead adoption of molecular pathology and spatial technologies (to support translational research and broader BDR needs.

  • Digital & Computational Pathology: Drive implementation of whole-slide imaging, AI/ML-based image analysis, and integration of spatial biomarker analytics into decision-making.

  • Data Interpretation & Reporting: Provide expert interpretation of pathology data, ensuring robust correlation with clinical outcomes and mechanistic insights.

  • Cross-functional Leadership: Collaborate with Translational Medicine, Bioinformatics, and Clinical Development colleagues to implement candidate biomarkers into Translational Biomarker plans for RAS(ON) inhibitors in alignment with overarching clinical development strategies.
