About Tenpoint Therapeutics

Tenpoint Therapeutics is a global, commercial-ready biotechnology company focused on developing groundbreaking treatments to rejuvenate vision in the aging eye. Its pipeline includes paradigm-shifting therapeutics for ophthalmic indications with significant unmet medical need, including presbyopia, cataracts, and geographic atrophy.

Our lead investigational asset, YUVEZZI™, is designed to be the first and only combination therapy for presbyopia and has received FDA approval on January 28, 2026. We are actively advancing preparations for a commercial launch in the first half of 2026.

This is a launch role. Tenpoint Therapeutics is building a high-performing field team to deliver an exceptional launch for our investigational therapy, Brimochol™ PF, for presbyopia. As a Specialty Sales Manager, you’ll run a startup inside your territory—building relationships with Optometrists and Ophthalmologists, turning clinical value into everyday adoption, and converting first scripts into durable growth. You’ll be the face of the brand and the voice of the field: shaping resources, activating champions, and feeding insights that refine the national playbook. If you thrive on white space, operate with integrity, and love winning with customers, this is your moment to help practices serve more patients—and to put your name on a category-defining launch.
