Your role

Director, Clinical Pharmacology position in Quantitative Pharmacology within the broader Clinical Measurement Sciences organization is a strategic, scientific, and cross-functional role, leading the Clinical Pharmacology (CP) Expert Team, responsible for developing and executing clinical pharmacology and Model Informed Drug Development (MIDD) strategies from the early to late-stage clinical development. This role represents the CP Expert Team to the global cross functional drug discovery and development project teams, in close collaboration with colleagues in Biostatistics, Data Sciences, Clinical Biomarkers and Diagnostics, Research, Clinical Development and other colleagues within the R&D organization.

The Director, Clinical Pharmacology provides strong leadership for integrating individual functional contributions, developing clinical pharmacology strategy in alignment with the overall clinical development plan, and executing the program strategy/plan. The scope includes programs from exploratory development (ED) through life cycle management, encompassing large and small molecule therapeutics/drug candidates across different therapeutic areas.

Key Accountabilities:

• Ensures that CP strategy is developed, aligned (with cross-functional development plans), endorsed and executed to support the indication, patient population, and phase of development while taking into account the competitive landscape
• Represent clinical pharmacology and promote MIDD with internal and external stakeholders
• Provides in-depth CP, PK and PK/PD advice and expertise and lead clinical pharmacology expert team and deliver on
• Dose and posology decisions, from FIH starting dose through submission and beyond
