Join the Spark Team

One of my favorite parts of being a member of the Spark team is that I get to work with amazing people from a variety of departments every day. This provides such a unique opportunity to be exposed to all aspects of a biotechnology company that is both innovative and inspiring.

It is so exciting to be on the forefront of medicine and advancement, but more importantly, to touch the lives of those stricken with disease is awe-inspiring.

Everyone who works here brings a blend of professional expertise, compassion for the patient and family journey, and a commitment to solving difficult problems in a collaborative manner, which makes it an amazing place to work.

My work matters because I have the great opportunity to meaningfully contribute to our mission: deliver potentially life-altering transformation for people and families affected by genetic diseases.

We come to the office every day knowing that our hard work is getting us one step closer to potentially improving the lives of patients.

Working on process development at Spark, we develop the new AAV vector production processes to generate high-quality vectors.  Our goal is using these vectors to treat patients with genetic diseases and change patients’ lives.

The team assembled at Spark across all the departments provides a strong foundation for making gene therapy products a reality for patients. This is groundbreaking work, and Spark is a leading company in the field.

During my time at Spark, I have been able to take on new challenges and grow my skillset. Recently, I moved into a new position that will further allow me to develop my expertise and experience. And I have had a lot of fun doing it!

It’s more than just a job for those working at Spark. There’s a collective passion to make a real difference in the diseases we’re researching, which has led to incredible advancements.

Excited to be part of the team at Spark striving to bring novel gene therapies to market to transform the lives of patients suffering from rare diseases.

Spark has recruited many experts across key areas of drug development; one can easily find mentors, experienced colleagues and very friendly co-workers companywide.

I take pride at Spark in working with colleagues motivated by purpose, who bring passion to every discussion, and where our mission is rooted in the patients we serve.

I am here because Spark is making the change I want to see in this industry.

Spark is uniquely comprised of incredibly talented and thoughtful innovators striving to make the promise of gene therapy a reality for patients with rare diseases.

I love my role in patient advocacy – we get to serve as a bridge between the innovative work being done inside the walls of Spark and the patient community we are aiming to serve.

I consider daily the meaningful impact of possibly manufacturing potentially life-altering gene therapies for patients. There is a palpable spark in each employee’s approach to daily tasks.

I work at Spark with the goal of treating genetic diseases at the deepest level by transferring a functional copy of a gene to cells that need it. Research doesn’t get better than that.

Spark is unique: leading-edge, life-changing technology; counter-intuitive, commercial model; and people who are all smart, dynamic and engaged in what we’re working to accomplish. It’s simply an exciting place to be.

Working at Spark for me constitutes a direct connection to patients. Inspired by their journey, I feel the privilege and the responsibility to contribute my best to Spark’s mission to provide hope and potential therapies.

There is a passion in recruiting employees to Spark. Each person’s unique talents directly impact the attainment of our goal.

I first became interested in Spark because as a Medical Science Liaison I was enamored with the innovative science, but I joined Spark because the culture puts improving the lives of patients at its core.

I’m so fortunate to be part of an organization bringing hope to patients with genetic disease. The people here are truly passionate about transforming medicine. It’s a once-in-a-career experience.

After years of doing gene transfer, it is fulfilling to be at the cutting edge of gene therapy research at Spark.

I feel that I am truly at the pinnacle of my career working at Spark. I am able to contribute in a highly innovative culture based on cutting-edge science – all with a pure focus on helping patients with rare genetic diseases. What could be better!

At Spark, the preclinical operations team supports gene therapy research and development, process development, quality control development, preclinical testing, and clinical gene therapy vector production. I am excited that our preclinical operations team is valued in Spark.

It is truly a privilege to work on a new class of therapy that has the potential to help patients who have no treatment option to date.

At Spark, championing the patient is inherent in everything we do. They are our driving force – motivating us to excel and inspiring us to reach beyond our limits to bring forward our innovative gene therapy research.

I was drawn to Spark by the passion of its people, the potential of our technologies and the vision of our teams to effect life-altering changes for neurological diseases, especially where none exist today.

I joined Spark hoping to witness firsthand a potential revolution in medical treatment. As a member of Patient Services, I continually ask myself and my colleagues to think from the viewpoint of the patient and ensure their needs are first and foremost in our minds.

The Manufacturing group at Spark is comprised of highly-trained, motivated professionals working together to potentially improve the lives of patients. The groundbreaking science of gene therapy offers a view to the future of medicine.
