Regulatory & Scientific Dissemination: Author and review clinical components of regulatory submissions (INDs, CTAs, NDAs/BLAs) and contribute to scientific abstracts, manuscripts, and conference presentations.

Governance & Oversight: Prepare for and present scientific data during Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) meetings, Advisory Board meetings, and Investigator Meetings.

Qualifications

Education: Scientific degree (BS), Advanced degree preferred (MS, PharmD or equivalent) in Biology, Immunology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or a related scientific/healthcare field.

Experience: 8+ years of clinical research experience within the biopharmaceutical industry, CROs, or academic clinical trial centers, with a track record of supporting trial execution.

Expertise: Deep understanding of clinical trial methodology, biostatistical concepts, GCP/ICH guidelines, and medical data review tools (e.g., Spotfire, JReview, Medidata Rave).

Communication: Exceptional oral and written communication skills, with a proven ability to translate complex clinical data into clear scientific documents and stakeholder presentations.

Mindset: A collaborative and adaptable team player who thrives in a fast-paced environment and excels at managing cross-functional dependencies.
