Asset Team Lead (ATL), Skeletal Conditions Business Unit

The purpose of BioMarin's cross-functional Asset Teams is to get transformative medicines approved and reimbursed quickly, with a sense of urgency and without cutting corners, to create value for the organization. Asset Teams form and exist to lead the integrated development of highly differentiated, life-changing medicines for people living with genetic diseases.
