If you need assistance or an accommodation in connection with the hiring process, please make a request to your Talent Acquisition Partner or email careers@alnylam.com. This information will be treated as confidential and used only for the purpose of determining an appropriate accommodation for the interview process.

External recruitment firms are an important component of our talent acquisition strategy at Alnylam; we value the partnerships built with our vendors. As a policy, we do not accept unsolicited resumes from external recruitment firms. All resumes submitted by external recruitment firms must be submitted through our applicant tracking system and all correspondence should be directed to a contact within Talent Acquisition – engagement with external firms requires that a signed Alnylam Employment Agency agreement be on file. External agency submissions that are sent to any employee or hiring manager, outside of the outlined process, will be deemed unsolicited and no fee will be paid in the event that the candidate is hired. Credit will be attributed as a referral or hired through other means.

Our external recruitment partners must also comply with all Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) guidelines.

Please be aware of the potential for scams and fraudulent recruitment activity from individuals claiming to represent Alnylam Pharmaceuticals. Alnylam never conducts its interview process via messaging apps, freelance sites, or social media platforms (i.e., Google Hangouts, WhatsApp, Signal, etc.). Alnylam team members only communicate with potential candidates through an official Alnylam email address ending in “@alnylam.com.” Please do not provide any personal information if you receive a suspicious inquiry or job offer.

If you suspect any fraudulent activity or misrepresentation in connection with an Alnylam job opportunity, please report it to careers@alnylam.com. Additionally, you can report any suspicious recruitment activity to your state’s Attorney General’s office, Internet Crime Complaint Center, or Official Guide to Government Information and Services | USAGov.
