About our Company

We aspire to be the premier research-intensive biopharmaceutical company in the world.  Innovation and scientific excellence are at the core of what we do in pursuit of our mission to save and improve lives. Together, we invent for a more hopeful future.

Who we are

Our company, Merck (known as MSD outside of the U.S. and Canada), is a global health care leader with a diversified portfolio of prescription medicines, vaccines, and animal health products.  For more than 125 years we have been inventing for life. Today, we continue to be at the forefront of research to prevent and treat diseases that threaten people and animals – including cancer, infectious diseases like HIV and Ebola, and emerging animal diseases.

We hire the most brilliant minds because inventing for life depends on our work.  Our dedicated employees come from an array of backgrounds and do many different things—from research and development and business technology to marketing and pharmaceutical sales. Yet each of us knows our work matters.

At Merck, you'll find rewarding opportunities, diverse experiences, and an unwavering commitment to ethics and integrity. You'll collaborate with talented colleagues who share your sense of purpose. Our company will empower you to innovate, explore, and develop your full potential in our possibility-rich environment.  Join our team and help us invent, impact, and inspire every day.
