Senior Director, Global Program Team Leader

Reporting to the TA Head, the SD, GPTL is responsible for providing strategic direction and leading the global drug development with one late stage asset that can have multiple indications in development, (or two early assets in different indications). 

As the accountable program(s) owner, the GPTL, leads and chairs the Global Project Team (GPT), which determines the overall strategy for the asset/s across indications.   

The GPT is responsible for creating an integrated development plan for each indication and overseeing the program. The GPTL is the “one voice” for the GPT up the line (R&D Leadership, Development Steering Committee and Executive Steering Committee). The GPT role is one of leadership, being proactive and interactive, and emphasizing partnership with all GPT members and Project Sub teams, functional heads and consultants both within, and outside R&D. The GPTL should stimulate creative and productive discussion, motivate, ownership and urgency (when necessary) as well as robust discussions of risk identification and mitigation opportunities, and ensure clarity of purpose and responsibilities with the GPT. The GPTL has the negotiation and persuasion skills necessary to ensure the program's success and sets goals for the GDT and specific program-related goals for the Core Team members.
