Overview

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center is an independent, nonprofit, unified adult cancer care and research center that is clinically integrated with UW Medicine, a world leader in clinical care, research and learning. The first National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in the Pacific Northwest, Fred Hutch's global leadership in bone marrow transplantation, HIV/AIDS prevention, immunotherapy, and COVID-19 vaccines has confirmed our reputation as one of the world's leading cancer, infectious disease and biomedical research centers. Based in Seattle, Fred Hutch operates eight clinical care sites that provide medical oncology, infusion, radiation, proton therapy, and related services, and network affiliations with hospitals in five states. Together, our fully integrated research and clinical care teams seek to discover new cures for the world's deadliest diseases and make life beyond cancer a reality.

Every individual at Fred Hutch plays a unique role in supporting our mission. Our collective success hinges on each of us conducting ourselves in accord with a set of core values:

• We are patient-centered. Everything we do must be linked to our ability to deliver better, safer outcomes for our patients.
• We are innovative. We nurture an environment that fosters unconventional thinking, a passion for discovery, and the open-mindedness to invite discovery from unexpected places.
• We are respectful. We are deeply respectful of our patients, their families, and each of our colleagues who serve them in so many different and important ways.
• We are collaborative. We understand that asking for and offering help in how to do better is not just a right, but among our most important responsibilities.
• We are agile. We cannot just be comfortable with change; we must embrace it as proof that we are making progress.
• We are responsible. Because our work is focused on people's well-being, we approach it with the highest level of ethical, fiduciary, and environmental responsibility.

This is an extraordinary opportunity to lead disruptive continuous innovations in the fight against cancer.
