About the Role

We are seeking highly skilled Clinical Development Directors (CDD) to join global programs in Neuroscience and Immunology. This is a senior scientific leadership role, responsible for driving clinical development strategy and execution across late-phase trials (Phase 2 & 3).

Important:

  • This is not a Project Management role.

Key Responsibilities

  • Clinical Development Plans (CDP), trial protocols, regulatory documents, and publications.
  • Provide scientific and clinical input into analyses, interpretation, and Clinical Study Reports (CSR).
  • Oversee clinical data review and ensure quality in collaboration with data management and biostatistics.
  • Contribute to regulatory submissions and responses to health authorities.
  • Support safety monitoring and reporting (PSURs, DSURs).
  • Represent clinical development in internal and external stakeholder interactions (KOLs, advisory boards, regulatory bodies).
  • Mentor and develop clinical team members; may lead a small team (approx. 3 reports).
  • Drive inspection readiness and quality standards across programs.

Ideal Background

  • Education: PhD or PharmD in relevant field (Neuroscience preferred for Neuro roles).
  • Experience:
  • ≥7 years in clinical research/drug development (Phases I–IV), with ≥3 years in global clinical trial execution.
  • Strong late-phase experience (Phase 2 & 3).
  • Therapeutic expertise in Neuroscience (Neurodegeneration, Neuroinflammation, Rare Diseases) or Immunology (Rheumatology, Dermatology acceptable).
  • Familiarity with Multiple Sclerosis, Huntington's Disease, Myasthenia Gravis, or similar conditions is a plus.
  • Advanced knowledge of GCP, trial design, regulatory processes, and statistical principles.
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills.
