About Children's Tumor Foundation
What is the Children's Tumor Foundation?
The Children's Tumor Foundation (CTF) is a nonprofit working on neurofibromatosis (NF). Its job postings say it is "not a traditional research foundation" and that it operates "as a patient-centered drug discovery engine for NF, a group of genetic conditions that cause tumors to grow on nerves affecting 1 in 2,000 individuals". Its careers page states the mission "Drive research, expand knowledge, and advance care for the NF community" and the vision "End NF". Its National Office is at 697 Third Avenue, Suite 418, New York.
Where will I work?
Both of CTF's open roles on 2026-10-17, listed inline on its careers page, are remote: a Biomedical Data Scientist ("Remote, Full-time", written October 7, 2026) and a Director, Corporate Philanthropy and Partnerships ("Remote US"). Its benefits list includes "Remote Work" alongside "Commuter Benefits", so the page does not say whether remote work applies to every role. The Director posting says the role is "Flexible for overnight business travel" at an "estimated 5-7 trips per year".
What is the Children's Tumor Foundation team like?
The careers page says "We are a group of committed staff working collaboratively to find a cure for NF" and "We pride ourselves on hiring diverse, professional, results-driven talent", and offers "an environment of compassion and inclusivity". Both postings also say "Maintains effectiveness under pressure" and "Flexible to work evenings and weekends as needed". It states no headcount.
Work-Life Balance
The benefits section says "a competitive benefits program to promote a healthy work life balance along with financial security", and its list names "Summer Fridays", "Generous Paid Time Off Policies" and "Remote Work". It gives no day counts and does not say which Fridays the summer Fridays are or whether the day is off or shortened, so this profile claims nothing beyond the wording; the careers page is the only source for it. The evening and weekend flexibility in the postings is a counterweight to read before applying.
Perks and Benefits
The careers page lists "Medical / Dental / Vision", "Life Insurance, Disability Insurance and AD&D", a retirement plan, an Employee Assistance Program, commuter benefits, corporate discounts, "Flexible Spending and Health Spending Accounts", "Employee Development Opportunities" and "Adoption Assistance". It states no salary for either open role.
