Job Responsibilities and Duties:

•    Provide senior scientific and program leadership for clinical pharmacology across multiple innovative programs, from first in human through regulatory approval and beyond.
•    Act as Clinical Pharmacology Program Lead, accountable for integrated clinical pharmacology strategies, study design, dose rationale, interpretation, and regulatory positioning in collaboration with Global Project Teams and Clinical Development Teams.
•    Lead and oversee clinical pharmacology studies in healthy volunteers and patient populations, ensuring high quality design, execution, interpretation, and decision making.
•    Integrate modeling and simulation outputs developed in collaboration with Pharmacometrics (PMX) into clinical strategy, dose justification, and regulatory narratives, applying Model Informed Drug Development (MIDD) principles.
•    Partner closely with Translational & Precision Medicine (TPM) to align biomarkers, mechanistic understanding, and translational strategies with early clinical development plans.
•    Lead, mentor, and develop clinical pharmacology team members, fostering a collaborative, high performing, and scientifically rigorous environment within a global matrix organization.
•    Drive innovation initiatives, best practices, and cross program consistency in quantitative clinical pharmacology across R&D.
