What the Therapeutic Strategy Lead does at Worldwide 

The Metabolic Disease Therapeutic Strategy Lead will serve as a therapeutic consultant to both the Business Development organization as well as the Therapeutic Area Leads. This is a cross-functional role that works across the organization and supports the sales and customer lifecycle. The role begins with supporting new customer presentations and continues through to project award. This role has a broad impact and interacts with several areas within the company, including clinical, medical, safety, program management, regulatory, technology and business development operations to jointly devise initial development strategies for new business. 

What you will do  

• Support the assigned TAL/FAL for project centricity within the organization through enabling the project delivery team assigned to an awarded project to understand and implement the project strategy that was sold. Partner with BD and Operations to create effective and compelling delivery strategies and solutions for clinical studies or programs that incorporate and leverage WCT services and experience, are operationally feasible, and result in the award of new business. 

• Collaborate with Sales to evaluate and manage new opportunities received from customers from receipt through to award decision. This may include, but is not limited to, standalone programs and projects, requests for information (RFI), capabilities, early engagement and partnering discussions. 

• In support of TAL and BD, work with key internal stakeholders to analyze information and data that enables development of efficient and feasible delivery solutions. Contribute to the development of the budget (service fees and pass-through costs) associated with the proposed project strategy. The budget should be competitive and in line with the contribution margin targets and pricing strategy agreed with Sales, leadership, and other stakeholders. 

• Support TAL and Account Director to guide and mentor assigned Project Leader through a comprehensive handover of the project strategy and facilitate their understanding so that they can confidently present the project strategy to the client and the internal stakeholders. 

• Actively support Sales in the preparation and conduct of customer and bid defense meetings, e.g. training and preparation of the assigned project team; provide specific content; ensure presentation focus and content effectively conveys project strategy and critical win themes. Attend and present at customer meeting, or bid defense or partnership meetings, as required (based on the strategy for selling the opportunity). 

• Work in conjunction with the Therapeutic Area Leads, Business Development and Marketing to develop commercial strategy and corresponding marketing campaigns to drive the gross business targets
