Production Associate

GENERAL SUMMARY
At Phothera, we are building something truly remarkable that will long outlive us. As part of our mission, we are advancing phototherapy to make people safer, healthier, and more productive. Auto-immune skin diseases such as Psoriasis, Atopic Dermatitis, and Vitiligo can be debilitating both physically and emotionally. Many topical and pharmaceutical treatments are costly and have serious side effects. With phototherapy, payers have a low-cost alternative, providers have a simple and effective solution, and patients have a safe, easy, and natural alternative with the option of use in the comfort of their own home.

We are expanding our journey to help patients, improve clinical outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and expand market access. Phothera offers phototherapy devices for clinic and home treatment use under the guidance and prescription of an authorized care provider. We are looking for entrepreneurial leaders with a strong bias-for-action to accelerate adoption and growth.
