Santen Culture
Feel the Difference. Make a Difference.
Exciting things are happening at Santen!
In addition to our accelerated efforts to grow a robust pipeline of vision care innovations, Santen USA —located in Emeryville, CA—is growing across all functions in the organization as we continue to advance our lead programs and work toward potential new commercialization opportunities.
Our promising eye health pipeline wouldn’t exist without our extraordinary people. At every level, we’re inspired by the chance to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives through our shared global mission and our aim for a future where permanent vision impairments are a thing of the past. Many of us at Santen know someone with an eye condition that affects vision and understand how it can feel like everything in life is possible again when eye health is improved. That’s the kind of success story we’re all proud to be part of.
A career at Santen is your opportunity to thrive, to be recognized, and to have a real impact. Let’s work together to preserve the gift of sight.
