Scaling Beyond What Seems Possible
Overcoming the barriers to tackle widespread bacterial infectious diseases requires formidable technology and a focused team. We have purposefully curated industry-leading capabilities and the talent necessary to create a sustainable competitive advantage. We call this “the chemistry to overtake convention,” which fuels our collaborative culture and shared conviction that Vaxcyte will help prevent or treat bacterial infections in every child born and every adult at risk across the globe.
We Thrive in a Kindness-First Culture
At Vaxcyte, we pride ourselves on being both fearless and kind. We relish taking on the toughest challenges, whether it’s creating the most complex biologics ever made or taking on long-established standards of care with our lead vaccine, VAX-24: a 24-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV). We welcome with confidence and humility the many unforeseen challenges that lie ahead, knowing that we have the resources, expertise and unrelenting will to deliver.
Our ability to aim high yet lead with heart sets us apart. As we work towards achieving our audacious goals, we are building a welcoming, inclusive hybrid work environment where employees of all races, ethnicities, genders and identities feel equally valued and supported. Our kindness-first culture, marked by deep caring and connection, is our secret sauce. It’s a shared mindset that brings out the best in each of us, enabling our team to collectively scale beyond what seems possible, fueled by the grit and grace to go the distance.
