Join the Spark Team

I work at Spark with the goal of treating genetic diseases at the deepest level by developing a functional copy of a gene for a tissue in the body that needs it. Research doesn’t get better than that.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I look to the day when hemophilia patients will have trouble remembering their last bleed – at Spark we are working toward that day.

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.

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

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 joined Spark hoping to witness firsthand a 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

To be able to bring Spark’s unique culture of innovation, groundbreaking science and passion for rare diseases to a new European audience, potentially benefitting patients across the continent, is an energizing and exciting prospect.

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.
