The role

You will lead the operational strategy for a program's clinical studies, sitting alongside the medical and regulatory leads and owning how the plan actually gets executed.

What you will do

  • Own the operational strategy for a program's studies from design through to database lock
  • Lead study managers and set the operating standard across the program
  • Partner with medical, regulatory, biostatistics and supply on program decisions
  • Own program-level budget, resourcing and vendor strategy
  • Represent clinical operations in governance and, where needed, with regulators

What success looks like at 12 months

Program studies deliver against plan, your study managers are being asked to lead bigger things, and operational risk is a routine agenda item rather than a crisis.

What we require

  • Extensive clinical operations experience including program-level leadership
  • Demonstrated ability to lead and develop study managers
  • Deep understanding of trial design trade-offs and their operational consequences
  • Track record of delivering complex studies in a regulated environment

What we would like, but will teach you

  • Experience through a filing or approval
  • Rare disease or oncology program leadership
  • Experience of building operational capability, not just running it

If you meet the required list, apply. We cap the preferred list at four items on purpose, and we would rather read an application from someone who is 70% there and hungry.

Working pattern

Hybrid — onsite at Research Triangle Park, NC three days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday and one team-chosen day).
