Sr. Medical Director Clinical Research (Neurology)

Senior Medical Director, Clinical Research (Neurology)

1. Company Our client is a well-established, global biopharmaceutical company with a multi-decade track record spanning oncology, urology, women's health, rare disease, and neuroscience. It has distinguished itself with a first-in-class, cell-based regenerative therapy now advancing through late-stage development in a major neurodegenerative disease — a signature scientific achievement in a historically difficult therapeutic category. The organization is investing meaningfully in both early- and late-stage neuroscience research as part of a broader, multi-year pipeline expansion.
2. The Role They Will Play This role will lead clinical development strategy for a defined portfolio of neurology assets, including a stem cell-based regenerative-medicine program and additional early- and late-stage compounds. The successful candidate will own study design, medical monitoring, and cross-functional leadership from protocol concept through regulatory filing, across global, multi-site trials. Unlike a narrower medical monitor role, this position combines strategic authority with hands‑on scientific leadership of a multi-disciplinary, multi-regional team, and offers a clear path to broader therapeutic‑area or R&D leadership as the neurology pipeline matures.

We are looking for a board-certified or board-eligible neurologist with substantial pharmaceutical industry experience leading global clinical trials. Candidates should bring: Expertise in neurology clinical development, including both early- and late-stage global trial design, protocol development, and trial initiation. 5+ years’ experience in the pharmaceutical industry, including experience as a Clinical Research Lead in the neurology therapeutic area. Exposure to regenerative cell medicine or gene therapy development programs (preferred). Working knowledge of FDA, GCP, and ICH regulations, with U.S. regulatory submission experience (Europe and Japan experience preferred). MD (or international equivalent), board certified or board eligible in neurology; fellowship training in epilepsy and prior pediatrics experience preferred. #J-18808-Ljbffr Kaye/Bassman International
