About MyEngene

MyEngene is a Calgary-based precision medicine company working to reduce adverse drug reactions with pharmacogenomics, the study of how a person's genes affect their response to medications. We have two platforms:

• PGxIQ is an AI-powered pharmacovigilance platform that gives pharmacists and prescribers evidence-linked pharmacogenomic information drawn from a patient's medication list, with no genetic test required.

• Help prepare partnership proposals and funding applications.
• Monitor competitors and market trends in pharmacogenomics and digital health.

What you bring

• A degree or diploma from an Alberta post-secondary institution, completed in 2024 or later, in business, marketing, commerce, or a related field.

• Confidence reaching out to new contacts and following up.
• Comfort with CRM tools such as HubSpot, social media, and the Microsoft 365 suite.

• An interest in healthcare, pharmacy, or health technology. A science or pharmacy background is an asset.
