Anne, Associate Project Director at UNION

Meet Anne, Associate Project Director at UNION 

Anne is a key member of the project team at UNION, where she plays a crucial role in developing UNION’s lead molecule, orismilast.  

“In my role, I manage a diverse range of tasks that allow me to leverage both my project management and clinical operations experience, to collaborate with my colleagues and drive UNION’s key indications forward. Our collaboration ensures that UNION remains at the forefront of new opportunities and that we execute our activities with orismilast in an efficient manner.” 

A workplace of opportunity and responsibility 

“Working at UNION is never boring. The size of UNION, a small, late-stage biotech company, allows for a lot of opportunities and responsibility, and provides great variation in my tasks. This is the charm of a smaller organization that particularly appeals to me – the necessity of being resourceful and task-oriented, to deliver on the objectives at hand. Luckily, I have a lot of highly skilled colleagues, and I quite like how we always support and assist each other. The high level of collaboration and collegiality also allows for great interpersonal connections, making for a highly supportive environment.  

Driving execution 

“At UNION, we work ‘The UNION Way’, which is the corporate culture we would like to broaden to the rest of the company.  This means that in any objective we set, or action we take, we strive to fuel ambition, drive execution, and collaborate to win. I can especially identify with the virtue “Drive execution”. When working in a small company, it is important to both take ownership and always follow through – and very often in an entrepreneurial way. At UNION, I believe this is one of the values that allows us to act quickly and accurately, which makes for some dynamic days.”

What do you think makes working at UNION great? 

“One of the many great things about UNION is the atmosphere. Days at the office are casual and fun, yet highly ambitious. I greatly value working for a small company where we all know each other and where management is nearby, providing sparring and input on decision-making. I am also very appreciative of the high degree of flexibility you have in structuring your own workflows. Having complete control over the structure of my days allows me to maintain a healthy degree of work-life balance.
