Employee Value Proposition:
Taiho Oncology, being a lean enterprise, presents an opportunity to experience multiple facets of Commercial Operations at a pharmaceutical company in a very short period of time. Unlike larger pharmaceuticals, the Summer Associate will be involved with and have exposure to senior Commercial leadership. Projects will have an impact on the business’ decision making and provide valuable experiences to take back to the classroom.
Position Summary:
This temporary summer position (June – August, exact dates negotiable) will have multi-week projects in one or more of the four functional areas within Business Operations & Analytics: Market Research, Sales Operations, Supply Chain Operations and Financial Planning and Analysis (e.g. 1 Market Research 6-week project and 1 Supply Chain 6-week project). Each independent project will be managed by a functional lead, include independent research and analysis and end with a presentation to Commercial Leadership. Non-project time will be devoted to meeting functional heads within Commercial and other specialties within Taiho Oncology (e.g. Development, Regulatory, etc.). The position is located in the greater Princeton, NJ area. Housing assistance will be provided.
Performance Objectives:
The primary objective for a Summer Associate is to gain knowledge of the Commercial Operations of a pharmaceutical company. The Summer Associate should bring an intellectual curiosity and a “can-do” work ethic. A successful summer would be spent absorbing as much knowledge and experience as one can in a 12-week period. Teamwork is emphasized and cultural fit is a key criterion to be successful in the Taiho Summer Associate program.
Education/Certification Requirements:

• BS/BA or equivalent in business, math, finance or science.
