You'll also step beyond traditional Clinical Pharmacology and take on a broader leadership role, acting as an integrator across scientific disciplines and representing Clinical Pharmacology, Pharmacometrics and Non Clinical safety within global project teams and governance forums.

Working within a highly respected Clinical Pharmacology function, you will help shape development strategies from early clinical development through registration and launch, influencing critical decisions that ultimately impact patients worldwide.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and develop the Clinical Pharmacology strategy across multiple assets, from small molecules to biologics, oligonucleotides and gene therapies.
• Provide scientific leadership in areas including PK/PD, drug-drug interactions, formulation strategy, dose optimisation, immunogenicity assessments, renal/hepatic impairment, QT evaluation, and Model-Informed Drug Development.
• Serve as the Clinical Pharmacology representative on global project teams, including representing Clin Pharm, Pharmacometrics and Non-clinical safety in highly visible governance forums
• Present scientific recommendations to project and governance teams, challenging and influencing direction where the data supports it
• Lead Clinical Pharmacology input and influence key development milestones from early development through registration and commercial launch.
• Support regulatory strategy, health authority interactions and global submissions

• Understanding of modelling and simulation approaches, including exposure to pharmacometric methodologies.
• Experience working within complex matrix organisations.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience supporting both small molecule and biologic development programmes.
• Knowledge of regulatory Clinical Pharmacology requirements and interactions.
• Experience with Model-Informed Drug Development.
• Familiarity with NONMEM and pharmacometric modelling tools.
• Experience supporting global regulatory submissions.

Why This Opportunity?

This organisation has built a reputation for scientific excellence, long-term investment in innovation, and a collaborative culture where employees are empowered to make a meaningful impact.
