What Our Colleagues Have To Say

Danielle Evans-Whiting

Director, Contracts Administration

"I have been with IMV since nearly the beginning, and I have seen the Company grow and evolve tremendously over this last decade. Our current team is the strongest that I have ever seen, and it is a joy to come to work with such dedicated and enthusiastic individuals. While we are all working on our different projects and different pathways, at the end of the day, we are all able to work together for the good of the Company and, ultimately, the patients who will benefit from the work that we do."

Genevieve Weir, PhD

Director of Business Development

“I worked in the Research Team at IMV when it was a start-up company, and I participated in developing the science that laid the groundwork for our core technology. Returning to IMV in a Business Development role years later, with the objective of finding collaborations and advancing the science, has been greatly fulfilling. As the company grows it hasn’t lost the sense of engagement, inspiration and commitment that will lead to real solutions for cancer treatments.”

Director Analytical Development and Quality Control

We have recently been made aware that scammers have been using IMV’s image to lure unsuspecting candidates for their own fraudulent purposes by advertising fake job opportunities.

We take this issue very seriously, and we want to emphasize that:

  • IMV will never ask for personal or financial information during the initial stages of the hiring process,
  • You would not be contacted through text messages or social media,
  • All official job postings can be found on this website.

At IMV, we are committed to providing a safe and honest job search experience for all candidates. We encourage everyone to remain vigilant and would like to share with you a few red flags that may signal a scam:

  • Payment requirements. You should not have to pay an employer or an employment firm to get a job,
  • On-the-spot interviews or lack of preparation by hiring personnel leading up to the online session,
  • Requests for personal information such as your Social Security number (SSN), credit card information or a bank account number,
  • Prompts to download documents or files,
  • Odd or poorly written text, including typos or unusual wording, on the online platform page or in other communication,
  • Pressure to commit to a job quickly or make equipment purchases,
  • Language—spoken or written—that suggests a job is “guaranteed” or “waiting for you” or that personal funds are required for purchases.
