About the Company

About the Role

As a Therapeutic Specialty Representative (TSR), you’ll be on the front lines of a critical product launch, introducing Anaphylm to healthcare providers. Anaphylm has the potential to be the first and only FDA-approved, non-invasive, orally delivered epinephrine product for the treatment of severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. If approved, people at risk for severe allergic reactions would have a device-free, needle-free epinephrine option. Similar in size to a postage stamp, Anaphylm is administered as a thin, dissolvable film placed under the tongue. You will educate healthcare providers on how Anaphylm is designed to address barriers that prevent patients from carrying and administering epinephrine, building trusted relationships to drive adoption. This role is ideal for ambitious sales professionals who thrive in a launch environment and want their work to have genuine clinical impact.
