At PTC Therapeutics, our deeply committed #onePTC team helps us achieve our mission to help extend life’s moments for patients with rare diseases and their loved ones. Part of this success is driven by our dedication to investing in our employees – and our Talent Acquisition team wants to continue to build and expand our support for our incredible employees.
We recently sat down with Noam Farago, Head of Talent Management and Organizational Development at PTC, to discuss the upcoming opportunity on his team for a Talent Management Specialist and what makes PTC a special company.

The Talent Management team plays an important role in maintaining this incredible culture and building it to become an even more strengths-based, learning culture.
How does PTC invest in Talent?
Everyone at our company, including our CEO, is committed to developing our talent, and PTC starts investing in talent since the employee’s first day on the job.
