Design and oversee Phase 1–4 clinical studies and establish clinical pharmacology strategies, serving as the primary functional representative for assigned projects.

Develop and execute clinical pharmacology strategies while leading multidisciplinary teams, data analyses, and scientific interpretation.

Provide scientific context for research questions by integrating mechanisms of action (MoA), disease-specific knowledge, internal and external data, analytical plans, and model results.

Generate new pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) study proposals and lead their development and implementation.

Author and review regulatory and scientific documentation, including clinical protocols, study reports, population PK reports, exposure-response analyses, Common Technical Documents (CTDs), product labeling sections, investigator brochures, and scientific white papers.

Lead clinical pharmacology and biopharmaceutics meetings and represent the function in Clinical Strategy Teams, Asset Development Teams, and other cross-functional forums.

Coordinate small multidisciplinary teams across clinical pharmacology groups to establish unified scientific positions and support clinical, chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC), and regulatory decisions.

Monitor scientific, technical, and regulatory developments, identifying emerging opportunities, risks, strengths, and challenges to refine development strategies.

Author scientific publications and present research findings at national and international conferences.

Build relationships with key opinion leaders (KOLs), external experts, and other scientific stakeholders.

Conduct scientific due diligence assessments, summarize findings, and represent clinical pharmacology in business development activities.

Represent the Clinical Pharmacology function during regulatory meetings and support interactions with regulatory authorities.

Partner with clinical pharmacology and pharmacometrics leadership to critically evaluate scientific, technical, and strategic aspects of development programs.
