Corcept is leading the way in the research and development of cortisol modulators, molecules that regulate cortisol activity at the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). To date, we have discovered more than 1,000 selective proprietary cortisol modulators.

In 2012, we received FDA approval of Korlym® (mifepristone), the first approved treatment for hypercortisolism (Cushing’s syndrome).

Today, our team and collaborators continue to unlock the possibilities of cortisol modulation as a way to treat serious diseases. With more than 30 ongoing studies across a wide range of disease areas, including endocrinology, oncology, metabolism, and neurology, we remain dedicated to advancing the possibilities of cortisol modulation.

What began as a ripple of scientific truth is now poised to unleash a sea change of discovery representing a fundamental shift in the way we understand and treat disease.

  • Lead special projects and ad-hoc assignments
  • Identify opportunities for administrative and operational process improvements
  • Prepare and edit Word, Excel, PowerPoint presentations, agendas and other documents
  • Provide calendaring, travel and other administrative support to members of the CEO’s executive team when necessary
  • Screen and triage incoming calls and visitors; evaluate inquiries and either alert the CEO of priority matters or make an appropriate referral

Preferred Skills, Qualifications and Technical Proficiencies:

  • Ability to manage multiple high-priority tasks simultaneously while maintaining attention to detail and accuracy
  • Ability to view the calendar as a fluid and flexible puzzle, identifying potential challenges and proactively resolving them
  • Ability to remain calm, focused, and composed in high-stress situations
  • Ability to identify critical priorities, manage competing demands, and exercise sound decision-making in fast-moving situations
  • Maintain a positive outlook with a willingness to “roll up sleeves” and cheerfully pitch in wherever needed
  • Excellent organizational skills with a proven ability to prioritize, track, and execute projects efficiently and effectively
  • Ability to quickly learn and implement new procedures, software, and technologies

  • Bachelor’s degree (Business Administration, Communications, or a related field)

  • Experience in the pharmaceutical or healthcare industry is highly preferred

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
